Kickstart Your Faith Steps
Four unique classes designed for those who may be new to their faith, want to develop a richer relationship with Christ, or simply want to be more involved in knowing Christ and making Him known.
How Do I Get Into My Bible?
How can a book that was written over 2,000 years ago be relevant to your fast-paced, stress-filled life today? How can the stories in the Bible be applicable to the challenges and fears you face on a daily basis? This study is designed to help you discover how God provides strength when you feel weak, comfort in the midst of sorrow, and guidance for daily living. Real-life experiences and techniques will be shared to help you learn how to make reading God’s word a vital part of your relationship and walk with Christ. No book purchase necessary. Just bring your Bible. If you don’t have one, one will be provided for you.
Meets in room 208, Sunday mornings at 9:30. Parents of S.N.AP. kids, Sunday School attenders, and late sleepers, note this class is also offered at 4 pm in The Common Cup.
Leader: Donna Vickers donnavickers5@gmail.com
How Should I Pray?
Prayer can seem like a hard concept to grasp. How do I know that I am talking to God or that God is even listening? Is there a right way to pray; time of day, length, place, etc.? This group will study The Workbook of Living Prayer by Maxie Dunnam to explore the many different ways in which we can pray in order to determine how we might best be in conversation with our God in Christ. The book can be ordered online at Amazon.com.
Meets in the Scout Room (Room 20), Sunday mornings at 9:30
Leader: Sam Cox scoxclan@bellsouth.net
How Can I Serve?
In this class we will use the book Serving from the Heart: Finding Your Gifts and Talents to Service by Carol Cartmill and Yvonne Gentile to determine our God given, spiritual gifts. We will then hold those up in light of our unique talents, abilities, resources, styles, dreams, and experiences. This will allow us to see more clearly exactly how and where God wishes me to serve as a vital part of the Body of Christ. No book to purchase. The book can be ordered online at Amazon.com.
Meets in Room 209, Sunday mornings at 9:30
Leader: Bobbie McCarty bobbiemccarty@bellsouth.net
How Can I Get Involved @ CUMC?
Ever feel like there are too many ministries, worship services, or people to wrap your brain around everything that takes place at our church—which has TWO locations? We will de-mystify the worship services, groups/classes, missions, and ministries here by sharing details of what Collierville United Methodist Church offers. Time will be allotted for questions and discussion. We will help you connect with just the right person for areas where you have interests and gifts for serving so that you can get plugged-in. No book to purchase.
