The senior Sunday school class at Christian Life Worship Center in Athens, Georgia, is known as the “Keen-Age”class. We are all past our promised years of three score and ten years. We all share a bond of love for one another. The class got its name years ago when Inez Arnold was the teacher.
Back then, Mary Campbell, Neice Prickett, Bill Arnold, Cleo Moser, Sue Vinson, Mattie Mae Johnson, Annie Strickland, Bertie Pearson, and Lavern Smith, just to name a few made up the class. All those have gone on to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Their “Keen” minds and faithful witness are strongly felt in the class today. All of us remember these old saints shouting and praising God. What a blessing they were to the class that still carries the name “Keen-age.”
Most of the class today still have a “Keen” mind but our bodies are showing our age. A wheel chair, walker, and walking canes help us to our classroom on Sunday. We pray that we are setting the example before our young people today that was set before us years ago of faithful service to God, love for our church family, and love for Jesus Christ Who paid the ultimate price for our salvation.
Meanwhile, our class has our own flower fund. If we know of a need in our church family, sickness or a death, we help according to the funds that are available in that account. We want all to know that the “Keen-age” class is a valuable part of Christian Life Church.
[Editor's Comment: At my request Blenda Pearson Smith has written this comprehensive description of our Senior Citizen Sunday school class called "Keen-Age" Class, at Christian Life Worship Center, in Athens, Georgia. I think she did a superb job in writing this article. When you see her again let her know you read what she had written about her Sunday school class called "Keen-Age" Class. Blenda is the teacher. I know Blenda would love to prepare you a guest chair for this Sunday morning at 9:30.]
