Upper Room Class
It has been almost 36 years since Rev. Donald Powers decided to form a class that would be for young couples and singles. After trying out several names, such as "the Young Adult Class" and "Pairs and Spares" -- the second of which sounded too much like a bowling league -- the group adopted the name "Upper Room Class" since they met in the then-new space above the office addition.
The group celebrates the joys of life, like graduations, the weddings of their children, and "oh'ing and ah'ing" over the latest photos of grandchildren. The members of the group extend an invitation to come and try out the class. Most Sundays, the class uses the Seasons of the Spirit curriculum, which is based on the lectionary texts for the day, reading the scriptures and discussing how they apply to our lives today.
