Sunday School: 8/19/07 (Slacker Update)

OK, I confess....I have been a bit of a slacker for the past month....that's right...I said MONTH. I had no idea it had been that long since I had updated our class's blog...my apologies.

I'd like to say that it was a carefully planned experiment to see if anyone would notice, but, sadly, that would be a lie...I just got busy and before I realized it a month had gone by with no updates on our trek through Genesis....I will do my best to stay on top of things in the weeks to come.

Before I post the outlines, though, I would like to ask a favor. I'm not sure how many of you read our humble blog regularly or just stop by for a visit, but I would really appreciate any feedback you might have (except for the..."don't be a slacker and forget to post for a month" comments...:)) Seriously, we are trying to build a ministry here and what you have to say, even if you don't attend MBC, would be valuable to me. What would you like to see/experience in a 25-35 year olds Singles class that would make it interesting and worthwhile to attend? What do you think the average person in your demographic is looking for in a church and/or Sunday School/Discipleship class? I've said before that my goal is to meet the needs of Singles in our age group...to give us a place to build relationships and grow in our faith. Any feedback from you would be appreciated!

Soooooo, on to the outlines!!! The last post was from 7/8 and was over Genesis Chapter 24. Rather than try to recap everything that's happened over the last month or so, I will just post the outlines with a general title. You can read the outlines and follow the study to get caught up.....

7/15/07--Death of Abraham through Birth of Jacob & Esau--Genesis 25
7/22/07--Isaac and Abimelech--Genesis 26
7/29/07--No Genesis study this week....out on vacation
8/5/07--Also no Genesis study this week...on our way back from vacation
8/12/07--Jacob Receives Blessing by Deception--Genesis 27-28a
8/19/07--Jacob's Dream and Journey to Haran to find a wife--Genesis 28b-29a

Stay tuned for more in the weeks to come....
