MUMC Adult Education Sunday School Classes

JustFaith - 8 a.m.
Room 312

JustFaith is a course of study that offers a life-changing experience.  It is an interactive study of the Christian's call to address the needs of the world.  The various books, videos, guest speakers and border-crossing events call the participants to become agents of change for Social Justice.  The class helps us understand the needs of those on the edge and provide ways in which participants might cause those needs to be met.  The material presented empowers and transforms participants to become voices for the voiceless and agents of God's Good News to the poor.  The course is 30 weeks long and meets for 2 hours weekly.  Work outside of class is about 2 hours per week.  Please contact Paco Canellas at 636-256-7746 for more information.
