Adulthood is a wonderful time of life.
However, we sometimes tend to forget how many stages of adulthood one goes through in the average lifetime. If there is one problem more prevalent that any other in the adult department of the Sunday school, it is the improper grouping of adults. Classes that are topical in nature will draw together those of many ages who have a special interest in a particular topic and often the membership of these classes will change as new topics are studied. Adults' life experiences are very different, posing an almost impossible task for the teacher who must apply the lesson to the lives of their students and will provide little opportunity for exchange of like experiences among the members of the class. One must also keep in mind that age level classes are not necessarily the answer.
