QAD (Question and Discussion)

QAD is an accumulation of people of varying ages from 40-80. This provides an educational (and sometimes humorous) interaction within the class. Our backgrounds are all different, as are our interests, but we appear to allow each other to shine when appropriate. Perhaps it is this difference of personalities that enable us to moderate each other’s responses. Some say very little, and some speak more often, but we all are appreciated. We are a diverse, caring, and fun-loving group of adults. We enjoy the connects we have made within the class and often enjoy each other’s company outside of church. As an aside, we also have some very good cooks in our class, and most weeks we enjoy the snacks they prepare.
