How much do you know about the Bible?
Or Christian history?
Or different ways of praying?
Or Christian stewardship?
Or Christian theology?
Do you even know why most — but not all —
Christians worship on Sundays?
The point is, no matter what your age,
there is much to learn
from classes offered at the church.
If you are interested in
learning about a certain religious topic,
speak to the pastor.
Look for the smile which breaks forth
on the pastor’s face. Why? Because an
educated congregation thrills pastors.
Learning is part of loving God with one’s mind.
Christian education helps us understand what living as
Christians is all about. So go ahead, ask about a
class that might interest you.
“It is not enough to have a good mind,” said the French
philosopher, René Descartes. “The main thing is to
use it well.” Learning about Christian beliefs
and practices is using one’s mind quite well.
Your church is a place for you to learn.
It has a class for you.

St. Paul United Methodist:
This church dates back to the 1830's when an
organization of the Methodist society began in the
home of Squire Boardman at Clinton. This continued
in various homes and school about the community.
The first minister to the church was a Methodist
circuit rider. When the membership greatly increased,
they built a one room frame structure, part of
the present church. This was built through
donated money and labor on land given to them by
Reverend Ferris in 1870. He served the church for
many years. Those that donated money
were given a lot in the cemetery so many are buried in
the shadow of the building that lives
as a witness to their dedication.
