Something profound happens when we study, ask questions, serve and wonder aloud with others. There's more insight, wisdom, experience around the circle then we usually have in our individual life. When we connect with each other on a deeper level, the growth and life change that results is powerful. We serve our community together. We care for each other.
ALL groups are drop-in friendly. Check out the dynamics and content of the group free of commitment or RSVP.

Leader: Lisa Wilson Virus As A Summons To Faith Mondays, 6:30 pm | Zoom Link I am so excited to share that Pastor Bill Gordon and I will be facilitating a class on Monday nights at 6:30 pm during Lent. We both have enjoyed the teachings of noted Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann. When Pastor Bill suggested that we offer a class using his book as a guide, I enthusiastically said, “Yes!” Professor Brueggemann’s book entitled, Virus as a Summons to Faith, will help us explore insights from the Old Testament to meet the challenges of our pandemic world. If you are ready to move beyond the “cannots” of the pandemic, this class may be for you. Professor Brueggemann will point us straight to God’s love “as we learn yet again about the inadequacy of the autonomous self.” Join us at 6:30 pm, for six weeks starting on Monday, February 22. Invite a friend and see you there! If you have any further questions or concerns, please reach out to Pastor Tanya at: pastortanya@marysvilleumc.org.
