History of the Class

In 1998 Nila Sherrill organized the Monday morning class, many years meeting in Nila’s home. She provided a legacy of Bible teaching, that included handouts with each unit of study. She taught every week (Sundays and Mondays) until cancer made it impossible. We cherish our memories of her and appreciate the example she set as a student of God’s Word. She encouraged many women to become Bible teachers.
