 DISCIPLE: BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY      

A 34-week study that moves through the biblical story from Creation to the New Jerusalem. The hoped-for results of the program are to develop biblically nourished persons committed to live as disciples. 

    DISCIPLE: INTO THE WORD INTO THE WORLD

A 32-week study of Genesis, Exodus and Luke, Acts prepared for adult and youth graduates of DISCIPLE: BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY. This study emphasizes the rhythm of coming to God and going for God, of being in the Word and in the world individually and corporately.

    DISCIPLE: REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

A 32-week study of The Prophets and The Letters of Paul available to adult and youth who are graduates of DISCIPLE: BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY. It calls clergy and laity to disciplined Bible study that will result in a ministering community nourished by Scripture. 

   DISCIPLE: UNDER THE TREE OF LIFE

A 32-week study of Old Testament Writings and the Gospel of John; 1,2,3 John; James; Jude and Revelation in the New Testament. This phase of Disciple is available to adult and youth graduates of DISCIPLE: BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY. It continues to call clergy and laity to serious, disciplined Bible study that will result in development of biblically nourished servant-leaders. 

Jesus in the Gospels

At first glance, the title of this study JESUS IN THE GOSPELS is obvious: Where else would you find him? Yet the title is deliberate and accurate. Each Gospel has its own way of portraying Jesus and expressing his significance. So each Gospel deserves to be heard in its own right. This study concentrates on the portraits of Jesus that emerge from the four Gospels. This class may be called a "hearing aid," carefully designed to help all readers listen more attentively in order to hear each Gospel story's witness to Jesus.

JESUS IN THE GOSPELS offers the opportunity to let each Gospel's Jesus story challenge us in its own way. The Gospels were, after all, written to let Jesus and his significance come through. So by our listening to them, we may well find Jesus.

This thirty-week study is intended for graduates of DISCIPLE, but only DISCIPLE I is a prerequisite for this course

CHRISTIAN BELIEVER Knowing God With Heart and Mind is a unique opportunity to know more of the doctrine of the Christian faith. This 30-week class emphasizes the relationship of worship, belief, and daily life. Why should you study doctrine?

*To understand the basic language and convictions that has shaped Christian faith over the centuries.

*To study doctrine as a guide to understanding what distinguishes Christianity from other faiths.

* To be equipped for living faithfully and for passing on the faith to others.

 

Companions in Christ  is a powerfully transforming small group experience in spiritual formation. The series explores classic spiritual practices, and invite participants to develop daily patterns that open their lives to a deepening relationship with God and one another.

Small Groups
Small Groups provide a great opportunity to grow spiritually and develop close relationships with others. We have a large number of extended (28 – 32 week) small groups that meet beginning in September. We are always open, though, to new small groups that can start at any time and meet either in a home or at the church. These can be ongoing or meet for six – eight weeks with breaks in between. For more information, contact the Discipleship office. disciple@fumchs.com

Dinner Groups 
Our Dinner Groups are composed of 6-10 people who get together once a month to eat and socialize. The groups are composed of single, married, young or young at heart. There will be a supper club scramble to divide into groups on Sunday, January 6th at 6:00 p.m. in the Shelton Room (CLC). Coffee and dessert will be provided. The groups will meet through July then break until January 2009. Please contact Allison Miller truegrit3@earthlink.net ,if you would like to be included or have questions.

The group is  currently providing prayer shawls and baby blankets for our prayer ministry and jaunty hats for those undergoing chemotherapy.  If you are interested or would like to learn more, please feel free to drop in. 

Mentor & Mentee
Mentors and Mentees is a group of “seasoned” women and younger women who meet periodically for dinner and fellowship.  There are currently three groups which usually consist of 12 women.  It’s a wonderful way for women to meet others of a different age group.  Meetings usually consist of a dinner, a devotion, and lively discussion of issues women face in their various roles.  Sometimes M&M’s just go out for a girl’s night.  If you would like to know more about M&M’s, join a group, or start a new group in the Fall, please contact Carol Jo Atkinson dratkinson@cablelynx.com  or Julie Holt julieholt@cablelynx.com.
