"Knowing Who We Are" - Methodism Class

On the heels of the UMC General Conference, we'll be offering a class on Methodism on Tuesday evenings via zoom at 7 pm, beginning May 14. Led by Kim Carroll and Julia Walker, this class will be using the book "Knowing Who We Are" by Laceye Warner, a professor of Methodism at Duke University, as its primary resource.

Disciple Fast Track Study
New Testament
It’s not to late to jump into Disciple – a powerful, transformative Bible study! Study participants will download an app (on their smart phone, tablet or computer) that includes their daily Bible reading, commentary, and study videos. All assignments are in both text and audio so people can choose to read and/or listen to the content. With text or voice-to-text options, participants can even complete their assignments while exercising or driving! In addition, there is a private 24/7 prayer board and message board, and the entire text of the Common English Bible is embedded in the app.

Women of the New Testament
Any and all are invited to participate in this study of women of the New Testament. We will see that these women were frequently skilled, resided to God’s call, and performed holy acts. Some of these women were prophets in their own right showing high levels of ability with perception, foreknowledge, or intuitive understanding of coming events. They participated in Jesus’ ministry and worked to bring about the Kingdom.
Join us as we discover the impact that both the named and unnamed women made in the life of Christ, and the foundation and history of the church. We will meet by zoom on Thursday mornings from 10-11:30 beginning May 4th and continuing.
