SUNDAY SCHOOL FOR ADULTS – 9:40-10:30 am
Clairmont Presbyterian Church offers educational classes each Sunday
morning from 9:40 to 10:35 a.m. All Sunday School classes focus
on the Bible as well as other issues of modern Christianity. The
following is a listing of the groups and some distinguishing characteristics.
Each has a different group dynamic and often gathers outside of
Sunday School for volunteer projects and social interaction. Clairmont
encourages members and visitors alike to attend any of these classes
and to learn more about the Word of God through their peers. If
you have any questions regarding a particular class or Christian
education in general, feel free to contact the group’s contact person,
or Rev. Hulme-Lippert, Associate Pastor, at (404)634-3355
or Bobby.

“What Happened at the General Assembly?”
...........................................................................Milligan
Hall
Join us with a program led by our Senior Pastor, Tom Pipkin. He
will be leading us with a presentation and discussion about this
year’s General Assembly meeting that was held in June. The General
Assembly of our denomination meets every two years and is charged
with considering various issues and overtures that effect our
denomination. Many Presbyterians are concerned about the decisions
that were made in June and we want to make sure that you have
an opportunity to hear what happened, to ask questions, and to
offer your viewpoints. We hope that you will make the effort to
come to this special program.
