(3) Adult Sunday School (Sun 12/7)—Starting Dec. 7, David and Jamie Hsieh will teach an adult
Sunday School class on Spiritual Disciplines. Is praying and reading the Bible really enough for us to grow
closer to God? Are there other things we can do that can properly prepare our hearts and minds to be more in
tune with God? We will be discussing how these 12 disciplines (examples: meditation, fasting, simplicity)
can play a part in our lives.
(4) English Adult Choir (Sundays)— Meets every Sunday from 1:30 pm - 2:45 pm at the Upper Grange.
For those who want to join please go direct to the grange or contact Bill Hsieh.
(5) Discipleship Class (Sundays)— Taught by Pastor Andy Pigott, meets every Sunday in Room 103 (Pastor Andy's Office) from
10:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. This class is suited for people at all stages in their experience with Christianity.
The purpose of the class is to help the student understand what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and to
provide the student with tools needed to make the commitments required become Christ's disciple. Anyone interested
in attending should contact Pastor Andy at 973-335-0183 ext. 11 or
Interested in Small Groups? — We have several small groups to meet your needs, for your age group and stage of
