Sunday School and Bible Study Groups
 

 

One of the best ways to meet people, grow spiritually, and get involved in the life of the church is to join a  class. Sunday School is about the study of God's Word and the fellowship of God's people. Here at FBC Tolland, we offer multiple opportunities for members and guests to gather together and celebrate the joy of Christ.

 

Our groups are open to anyone who wishes to attend. You don't have to join the church or know about the Bible to visit. We will not ask you personal questions or ask you to do anything that would possibly embarrass you. We do welcome you to join in discussion, if you desire, even on your first visit.


   

Come to a class this week!    

 

You are invited to join us at 9:30 a.m. every Sunday (note: every first Sunday of the month at 8 a.m., you can join us for breakfast in the Fellowship Hall prior to going to the studies!) 

 

In addition, be sure to check out the Daily Devotional page to help you get started on your daily quiet time with the Lord. 

 

If you have further questions, please contact us or visit the FAQ page on this site.

 


 

Sunday Morning Groups

9:30 a.m.

 

Adults:


1) Howard Weldon is holding a hands-on study of 1st Thessalonians using the method (although not with the degree of detail of a personal study) presented during the Spiritual Discipline Weekend.  Homework not required but encouraged.  All interested are invited to join us in the choir room behind the sanctuary. 

 

2) Drew Crandall’s new class begins January 3rd in the Sanctuary.  This is a 2 month study titled WWF:  Holy Spirit vs. Satan, How to win your daily spiritual battle. 

 

 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  (Ephesians 6:12)Using wrestling analogies and visuals, this Bible-based series will cover:

 

Who is the Holy Spirit?

Who is Satan?

What are the weapons each of them use?

Where is the battle?

Why does the battle exist?

When does the battle tend to rage the most?

How do you emerge victoriously, day by day and for a lifetime?

 

PowerPoint slides will be used, and hard copy handouts will be provided

 

3) Pastor Jeff is teaching: Life Lessons for all adults.

IMAGINE A CHURCH WHERE EACH INDIVIDUAL IS SERVING ACCORDING TO HIS OR HER SPIRITUAL GIFT(S) AND AREA OF PASSION

What would that church look like?  Each individual would be doing a little instead of just a few doing a lot.  People would be serving passionately and fervently because each individual would be serving according to how God intended and within the area of the passion
that God put in their heart.

We will answer questions like……
What are spiritual gifts?
When do I receive spiritual gifts?
Why do I have spiritual gifts?

And questions that help pin point how and where to serve and in what capacity like……..
What are my God-given spiritual gifts?
What is my personality type? And
What is my passion?

This discovery process will be offered by FBC once or twice a year to help each of us serve in the capacity in which God intended.  When service is directed in this way, it is passionate and energizing and enabled by God.
