SUNDAY SCHOOL SPOTLIGHT: Adult Women #2
1. What’s your name and what do you do for a living, or what did you do if you’re retired? Describe your family.
My name is Lisa Russom, and I'm retired, but I started out as a licensed Medical Technologist. I took a leave in my early 30s and opened my own business. We operated Women's World Fitness and Island Tan and Swimwear for almost 25 years. We retired about 14 years ago.
My husband, Rex, and I don't have children, although through our business of 25 years, we felt we had many. My parents are with the Lord, and Rex's parents live in Henderson and Selmer. He is such a good son and looks after them with such patience and love. He has 3 siblings and 1 niece. I have 3 loving siblings, 5 nieces/nephews, and 11 great-nieces/nephews
2. What class do you teach? What demographic is this geared toward?
I teach Adult Women #2, which is mature females over 50.
3. What curriculum do you teach from? Why did you choose this particular one?
I am currently teaching and leading from the Bible. As I read and study God's Word, He reveals things to me that I want to share with my sisters in Christ, some may be things that I don't understand, and God so patiently shows me His truths. I truly get excited to share with my sisters what God has shared with me.
4. Describe what an average Sunday looks like in your class.
We usually have 10-12 ladies in class - all who love the Lord and want to know more about Him, how to draw closer to Him, and live life as a living sacrifice - holy before Him. We discuss needs that each of us may have. We offer up praises in our lives. We pray to God, interceding for each other and our church family as well. We study and discuss God's Word for about 30-40 minutes. We sing a doxology prior to dismissing to our time of worship and praise with the entire church family.
5. What do you hope attendees get out of your class?
I hope they fully understand grace, a grace that gives them peace no matter what the world throws at them. I hope that every day they understand Romans 12:1-2 and how to apply it to their lives with their entire being. I hope their heart, soul, mind, spirit, and body are fully given to the Lord, and they have more confidence in sharing the Gospel to lost family and friends.
