Our curriculum is eclectic and varies in content from week to week. I choose the lesson from a variety of sources on the internet. I have been a member of Magnolia Methodist Church since 1968. I have served as chairman of the Administrative Board, the Leadership Board and the Board of Trustees. I served as a delegate to the Annual Conference both as a delegate from Magnolia and as an at large delegate from the district. I served as a member of the Conference Agenda Committee for two years. Sue and I were leaders of the youth group in the 1980\u2019s. We took several youths on a mission trip to McCurdy School in New Mexico in the summer of 1989. I have taught adult Sunday school classes for more than 40 years. I am originally from Moundsville, West Virginia. I graduated from West Liberty State College in 1965. I taught for a year in Marshall County West Virginia then taught for 30 years at Sandy Valley after Sue and I were married in 1966. I was first elected mayor of Magnolia in 1979 and served 10 terms until 2020 when I retired. After I retired from teaching, I worked at the Ford Dealership in Waynesburg until its closing last April.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"821\" src=\"https:\/\/www.magnoliamethodist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/437060306_2084848445220839_189346894993498870_n-1-1024x821.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-924\" style=\"width:341px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.magnoliamethodist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/437060306_2084848445220839_189346894993498870_n-1-1024x821.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.magnoliamethodist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/437060306_2084848445220839_189346894993498870_n-1-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.magnoliamethodist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/437060306_2084848445220839_189346894993498870_n-1-768x615.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.magnoliamethodist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/437060306_2084848445220839_189346894993498870_n-1-1536x1231.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.magnoliamethodist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/437060306_2084848445220839_189346894993498870_n-1.jpg 1586w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Terry &amp; Tammy Selby<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-77e69f55e178add8d6f00ff010b89e10 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This Sunday School class is held in the north classroom past the church offices. It is located in the wing of the church closest to the restrooms and bulletin board. This class is led by Terry &amp; Tammy Selby and the lessons are always adaptable to everyone-no matter where you are at in your own personal Bible knowledge. Terry and Tammy have years of serving in church and leading small group studies. This class is a welcoming group that would enjoy having you join them. Their class just finished the study: The Book of Job by Francis Chan. The world teaches us to revolve our actions, thoughts, and beliefs around ourselves. \u201cIt\u2019s all about you!\u201d we are encouraged to think. In the world\u2019s philosophy, we become the author and hero of our story. But the Bible teaches a different view, one where another hero\u2014the actual Author of life\u2014takes center stage. In the book of Job, God asserts his preeminence and displays his power. All are welcome to join the class after the coffee and fellowship once worship is completed. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Small Group Bible Studies<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.magnoliamethodist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-view-people-reading-together-scaled-1-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1728\" style=\"width:335px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.magnoliamethodist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-view-people-reading-together-scaled-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.magnoliamethodist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-view-people-reading-together-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.magnoliamethodist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-view-people-reading-together-scaled-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.magnoliamethodist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-view-people-reading-together-scaled-1-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.magnoliamethodist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/top-view-people-reading-together-scaled-1-2048x1368.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-d3a64273d7ada25e9b845c2fa9d0fd78 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Tuesday morning Bible Study is open and welcome to anyone, men and women of all ages.
