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.

Contact: Betsy Fuqua John Wesley’s Way: Ten Elements of Christian Discipleship Tuesdays, 7:00 pm | Zoom Link As a pastor, I was often asked, “Do you have a book on Methodism?” Of course, I had many, but I never found one which answered what I thought they were usually asking. They were looking for a way to identify and understand the essential principles which shape us as a church. ~Pastor Tom Join Pastor Tom, Tuesday evenings at 7:00 pm via Zoom, to explore how to live as followers of Christ using John Wesley’s Methodist way. We will explore our place as the Body of Christ, how to practice the Christian faith, and examine three clear but challenging rules we live by. Then, we will discern how we as Christians understand God’s will for our lives and the world. For ten weeks we will explore one element per session, the Scripture(s) behind it, and how this principle is lived out each day, in 60-75 minute sessions. There will be some reading but they will be relatively brief selections from the Bible or John Wesley’s writings. Contact: Pastor Tom Albright United Methodist Women 1st Tuesdays, 11a | Green Room We will check into United Methodist Women in Mission, nationally and locally.
