The Adult Sunday School started a new Sunday School series on Jan. 8 -- "God is Closer Than You Think" by John Ortberg.

This six-part series involves short videos and group discussions. It's a great program for dropping in on any given Sunday. There's no reading required or prior knowledge needed for discussions, so you'll get something out of each session whether you're there for one week or six.

From the DVD cover:

"In this DVD, Ortberg is your teacher in six sessions that will help your group experience the intimacy you long for with God -- and that he longs to have with you.

"John Ortberg takes you on a journey that will help you:
* Experience God's presence in the busy matrix of your life
* Hear God speak in ways you understand
* Discover God's desire to be with you in this moment"

Sessions run from 9:15 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. on Sunday mornings.
The units:

Jan. 8 -- God's Great Desire for People
Jan. 15 -- Where is God in My World?
Jan. 22 -- Partnering with God Today
Jan. 29 -- Listening to the Voice of God
Feb. 5 -- God Wants a Relationship with You
Feb. 12 -- Heaven Breaking Through

Leader is Mary Bekker.
