The Shema (pronounced sha-MA’) is the Jewish confession of faith which says “Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One” (Deut. 6:4).  Without that explanation, “Shema” appears to be a weird name for a class.

The Shema Class is a very friendly, caring, loving and compassionate community of Christian believers.  Our class consists of a very diversified group ranging in age from the early twenties to the seventies, and includes both singles and couples.  Our average attendance currently ranges around twenty-five each week.

Our textbook is the Bible, God’s Holy Word.  We are currently studying the Gospel of John.  We are a discussion class and our circled seating arrangement encourages participation.  We enjoy discussing the Scripture and applying it to our lives today.

We try to have some type of class social function at least every other month.  This gives us a chance to have some fun and get to know each other better, since our time on Sunday mornings is limited.  We really enjoy our fellowship together.

As a class we also participate in a lot of worthwhile projects and ministries - both in and outside our church walls.  We are involved and support the Room In The Inn project for the homeless, the Habitat for Humanity project, painting projects, Project C.U.R.E., Campus Outreach, the Community Care Fellowship, Narrow Way Productions, sponsoring kids in Uganda and etc. etc.   When opportunities to help others present themselves we are eager to be involved.

We meet in the Fellowship Building in room 203 at 9:45 each Sunday morning.  We welcome anyone and everyone that would be interested in Bible-based discussions.
