Since we are scattered around the country, and most of us don't know each other real well, this might be a challenge. But, we want to try. We do want to choose something to study and discuss.

I found out these folks were part of a Friendship Class, but their teacher had recently moved away.

Our class normally meets on Sunday mornings before church. Many of our friends find it hard to sit through class and then worship time so they go home after class.
