Charge Conference - It's a Party!
It’s our youth director’s birthday, so naturally we’re celebrating by learning about United Methodist polity!

Sign up at this link if you're a youth who'd like to attend:

This week's prayer class...
We apologize that last week's class was canceled and we hope you will come explore Lectio Divina, Another Way to Pray this Sunday...Lectio what? Yeah, Latin is so beyond us, but hey, this is a practice of reading scripture that has prevailed throughout centuries, and a practice that is still used today, which speaks to its relevance. This is a way of reading the scripture, not like a Bible study, but like a personal message to you. Yes, to you! Isn’t that what we want? Explore this possibility in our next prayer class. And at the end you will know at the least how to say Lectio Divina and at the most, God met me here in the word of scripture. Join us in room 228 at 10:00 as we explore how scripture connects with us in a new and old way of being present to God speaking to us.
Are you able to help our schools?
As part of our Wesleyan tradition, we celebrate and support public schools. This is why we partner with three schools (Gateway Virtual Alternative Learning High School, R. E. Baker and the International School of Mary Mae Jones. Each year we ask you, as a congregation, to help us honor these partnerships with your physical presence and/or financial support. Below is a form with a few ways you can help. Will you please prayerfully consider how you may be part of this ministry. Because some of the school personnel has shifted, even if you have helped in the past, please complete the form again. Thank you for your ministry!
