I was right. The Adult Christian Education Ministry began making adjustments last month and continues to make them here in the new millennium. In late November, the Women of Faith ABF began meeting in Room 208. A nucleus of eight women formed this group which Kathy Brown agreed to teach. This is the first gender-specific class formed here in many years.
All women are welcome, however.
Recognizing the need for an ABF which reaches out to the thirty-something crowd, a nucleus of six couples asked Steve Yeaton to consider establishing an ABF to meet their needs. The Adult C.E. Ministry agreed, provided that the target audience be those not now enrolled in an adult ABF who fit in the thirty-something window. I hope to see both established soon. Now that we re past the millennium crossover, the Adult C.E. Ministry will continue to evaluate needs for new ABFs and other studies. It will take quite a few new ABFs, as well as the faithful outreach of existing ones, to enroll these folks in our discipleship development efforts.
