We meet each Sunday morning beginning at 9:45 am in the library of Callaway Hall for worship and study.  Our class is composed of caring and loving singles and couples whose ages range from the 40's through the 90's.  We have a wide variety of talents and interests which we joyously share.  We enjoy our retreats, our picnics, our potluck dinners, our game nights and our boating outings.

At the present our lesson is taught by a few members of the class.  Our classes and discussions are related to daily living and life's experiences using the Uniform Series Adult Lesson Studies as published by Cokesbury.

As a class we share a rich history.  Years ago we started as a class called the Newly Married Class.  At some point later we looked at each other and realized that we were not all married and that for a variety of reasons some of us were single.  So, the name changed to become The Pairs and Spares Class.  Again, as time passed, we found that we were meeting in an upstairs classroom and decided that a more fitting name would be the Upper Room Class.  Now that some of us are older and stairs presented somewhat of a problem we meet downstairs in the Library of Callaway Hall and are known, jokingly,  as the Upper Room Class that meets downstairs.
