Today we had one of the best Sunday school classes I can remember attending. The format was simply to have several older members of the church sit in a panel and talk about what they had learned and what they remembered about being in their thirties (My ss class is pretty much people from ages 29-36). The seven panelists each had very interesting things to say. The most surprising moment came when a member of our class asked then panel how they dealt with balancing their Christian obligations with work obligations. "Not very well" was the immediate response from someone who is very successful in the medical profession. We all had a laugh at that, though he apparently meant it quite seriously.

I would heartily recommend seeing if you can arrange a class in this format in your church, whether you are a pastor or layperson.
