First Presbyterian Church, 318 S. Cedar, will start two new adult education classes on Sunday. The classes will both be offered at 9:45 a.m. this Sunday and on April 26.

The first class is called “Simple and Effective Prayer.” The class will focus on how to pray, what to expect from prayer and how prayer can change ourselves and others.

The second class is called “Talking to Children About Sexuality.” The class is designed for parents of fourth graders, but other parents are welcome to attend. Parents and children will meet separately during the first session, and parents will learn different ways to talk to children about sex. The second session is for parents and their children.

For more information on either class, call 747-1058, ext. 110.
