In our continuing efforts to provide Centralites with the best opportunities for education and growth, we added a new and significant dimension to many of our classes. Specifically, we started three new ongoing classes. Whereas in the past, most classes were of the elective type that changed every two months, now we have added classes that will meet together throughout the year.
Ongoing classes have greater opportunity for well-rounded curricula.
As classes become communities, pastoral care is broadened. As we continue to get settled into our new space and new adult Christian education format, we look forward to even more exciting opportunities for spiritual growth and relationship building in 1999. Under this session committee, the Paraclete Ministry is moving forward in a strong manner to help those both in and outside of the congregation in their time of need. The Small Group Task Force implemented the plans made over the last eighteen months. As a result, all of the members of the last new members class have joined an existing or new small group.
