ABFs
ABFs (Adult Bible Fellowships) are medium sized groups that meet on Sunday morning during the Sunday school hour (9:30 am) in Ernst Hall (downstairs).
The primary purpose of ABFs is teaching, but they are really much more; they are a community within the community. In addition to teaching, each ABF prays together, cares for each other and reaches out into the community together.
ABFs are open--meaning you can just show up on Sunday morning and join in. We currently have four groups meeting on Sunday mornings:
A.G.A.P.E. ABF
The AGAPE abf is led by Larry and Jan Statler. It primarily consists of empty-nesters and stays active in the church and community. They also do a great job of staying in contact are caring for each other through all the different seasons of life as well as some great cookouts!
This class studies the Wesleyan quarterly lesson.
P.I.G.S. ABF
The PIGS (People in God's Service) is led by Steven Hill. This is our 20s-early 40s group. While there is a large age-range in this group, they keep their identity with outreach projects like their annual school supply drive for DHS.
This class studies various topics throughout the year.
Bible ABF
The Bible class is made up mostly of senior, but does have people of other age groups. Their distinctive is that they like to study various books of the Bible directly, verse by verse. The class is led by retired (and long-time Hillside pastor) Dick Ernst.
Three Question Bible-Study
The Three-Question Bible Study is our newest abf, though it has existed for a number of years as a Wednesday night Bible Study. Carol Berchenbriter leads this class through various books of the Bible using the "three-question" method; asking the questions, "What does it say?" "What does it mean?" "What should I do about it?"
There is another three question Bible study on Wednesday nights from 6:45-8 pm at Joe Clark's home. contact Carol Berchenbriter if you're interested in this Bible study on Wednesday nights.
