The electronic update to the Adult teacher material!
Due to production and writing schedule, the regular adult teacher outline for classroom
process is prepared many months in advance. The electronic update is written just days
before you use it. We are providing this service to help you bring current
events and Bible study together.
We plan to post this material at least ten days prior to use, allowing for organizing and
distribution the Sunday before use. This material can provide new meaning to Bible study.
So set a bookmark for this location, and come back and visit regularly!
