Welcome to our Sunday School Class website!

Class Title: Finding Jesus in Media

Description for 2021-22:

Using the Bible as well as resources from "The Chosen TV Series", BibleProject.com, and  Harvard's Veritas Forum , we will explore how we can encounter Jesus and deepen our personal relationship with Him through contemporary media sources. Taught and facilitated by Dr. Wesley Fryer.  (More details are available!) 

This is an adult Sunday School class at First Presbyterian Church of Edmond, Oklahoma, taught by Dr. Wesley Fryer. Our 2021-22 classes start on August 23, 2021. We meet in person at FPC Edmond each Sunday from 10-11am Central Time (room 2126) and also provide a Zoom option for virtual attendance.

Since we started meeting virtually via Zoom in fall 2020, we've been able to record and share the LESSON portion of our classes each week. Even though we returned to face-to-face classes in fall 2021, we're still offering a Zoom link for folks who want to attend virtually! Recordings do NOT include our "table talk times" and "joys and concerns" times. Archives are also available of:
