Fridays at 10:00 AM

Fridays at 10:00 am:

Please join Rev. Faith and me as we being a new 6-week study on our sacraments of communion and baptism beginning this Friday, April 16th at 10:00 a.m. We'll use a book by Mark W. Stamm titled, Sacraments and Discipleship: Understanding Baptism and the Lord's Supper in a United Methodist Context.

This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn more about our holy sacraments. Not only will we have a book to reflect on, but Rev. Faith has been teaching sacraments for years through the Claremont School of Theology and the Course of Study program for local pastors in the United Methodist Church. You won't want to miss this one!

If you could purchase the book through Amazon or another vendor that would be great. Don't worry if you don't have it by Friday. If you have purchased it, please read through Chapter One.

We will continue using Zoom and the link is provided below. Also, below I've attached our e-news flyer as an FYI.

Please let me know if you have any questions. As always all are welcome, so forward on to friends, family, and neighbors who you think would enjoy learning about communion and baptism.

We look forward to seeing you on Zoom this Friday, April 16th at 10:00 a.m.

Jesus and the Disinherited. First published in 1949, Jesus and the Disinherited is a brilliant and compassionate look at God’s work in our lives. As we struggle today with issues of poverty, racism, and spiritual disengagement, Howard Thurman’s discerning reading of the message of renewal through self-love as exemplified in the life of Jesus resonates powerfully once again.

on Wednesdays from 4:00 to 5:00 pm. Email Rev Chelsea to sign up.

Philippians A Study by Cynthia Campbell. Philippi is Paul’s first destination outside Asia Minor, his first city to visit in Europe, and his first mission in a place where there was no Jewish community from which to begin preaching. Cynthia Campbell writes that in Paul’s letter to the Philippians, we get a unique glimpse of our beginnings as Christians. Some themes explored include the importance of community for followers of Christ, Christian joy in spite of persecution, the nature of Christian unity, what it means to be “in Christ”, and mutual hospitality.
