Bible 101

The Bible is God’s instruction on how we are to be relationship with God. Reading and studying God’s Word is vital to a growing and thriving faith. But, maybe you have questions which keep you from fully trusting what you read.  Maybe you feel like that you just don’t understand it, it is overwhelming, or aren’t sure how it is applicable to your life. Through this four-week class, we will cover topics which may remove roadblocks that have kept you from studying God’s Word.      

·     Where did we get the Bible?

·     How is the Bible organized?

·     The one Bible story from beginning to end.

·     Scripture Application and Create Your Plan for Next Steps in the Journey.

No book purchase necessary. Just bring your Bible. If you don’t have one, we have one for you. Choose between two meeting times:

·     Sunday mornings at 9:30 am in Room 208

·     Sunday afternoons at 4 pm in Room 105

Living Life Through Prayer

If the Bible is God’s way of speaking to us, prayer is our way of speaking to God. Both are crucial in having a growing relationship with our Father. But sometimes we may feel like we don’t know what to say. We may even question if God hears us or if God is even listening. This group will study The Workbook of Living Prayer by Maxie Dunnam. One of the best-selling group resources ever published, this workbook teaches us to pray in simple, practical ways.

Sunday mornings at 9:30 am for six weeks in Room 101B.

Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts

God’s plan for the church calls for each member of the body of Christ to play a vital role. Sometimes we think that serving God is an obligation, a duty, and that it isn’t meant to be enjoyable. The truth is, God wants us to find joy and fulfillment when we serve. That happens when we serve in a role that matches who God created us to be. In this class we will use the book Serving from the Heart: Finding Your Gifts and Talents for Service by Carol Cartmill and Yvonne Gentile to determine our God-given, spiritual gifts and how to use them for God’s service. No book to purchase.

Sunday mornings at 9:30 in Room 209

Plugging Into CUMC

Our church is filled with dozens of opportunities for experiencing God through a multitude of ministries. God doesn’t want us to just be spectators. God desires for us to be active participants, joining in God’s work. Yet it could be extremely overwhelming to figure out how to get involved at CUMC. In our time together we will overview ministries in the four areas of worship, discipleship, missions, and evangelism. Each participant will then better know what ministries God might be calling them to plug into! We can help you connect with just the right people so that you can serve Christ through serving Christ’s church. No book to purchase.

Sunday afternoons at 4:00 pm in Room 107
