Adult Discipleship – Deepen Your Faith and Community

Here are just a few ways that you can go Deeper in your faith and further into community. 

Spiritual Growth: 

*Sunday Morning: Sunday classes begin at 9:00am and we offer something for everyone from the youngest to the oldest. 

*Midweek @ Midtown: Beginning at 4:30 in Jenks lounge we will be offering an eight- week Adult Bible study class reading through the Bible. The Chapel will be available for a time of prayer and meditation from 4:30-6:30. Dinner @ 5:45 followed by Youth Group, Children’s program and an Adult study class. 

*New Discipleship small groups are starting in October. This is a great opportunity to go deeper in faith and journey through life together. 

Community: 

*Seek out opportunities to join with others in fellowship through one of our PUFF (Presbyterian United for Fun) trips. 

*Join with others once a month on a Tuesday evening with our Prayer Shawl Ministry. 

*Invite new friends to join you for lunch after church…everyone needs to eat! 

Service: 

*Opportunities are endless for serving our community. Whether it is every Thursday at the Hand-up Food Pantry or helping serve meals with Neighbors United or picking up trash in Turner Park. 

*Become a part of our Prayer team, either by email or phone tree, and lift up others in prayer. 

*Consider becoming a Stephen Minister and serving those who are hurting in our community. 

*Or perhaps there is a project that is near and dear to your heart…invite others to serve alongside you. 

Worship: 

*Consider lending your talents to enhance our worship by joining the choir or hand bell ensemble. 

*Invite friends or co-workers to join you as you come to worship on Sunday. 

*Consider being a greeter or part of an usher team. 

The beach and the ocean are still one of my favorite Mystery Trips, one of my favorite places to go when I am home. I love to sit with my feet buried in the warm sand and watch the waves lap gently onto the shore. There is something so peaceful about that place where the water meets the land, a rhythm that lulls you into a quiet and reflective place, where wonder and mystery collide. It is a place I long for, to sit quietly and have long conversations with God. For me it is that place where I am able to go deeper. Deeper into my faith, my relationship with God, my prayer life, and even my relationship with others…there is just something almost magical for me something that draws me deeper. 

How about you? What draws you deeper? How can you dive deeper into your faith this year? How can you go farther into our community of faith? I am looking forward to all this year holds as we go Deeper! Deeper in our Faith and Further into Community. I hope you will join in this adventure and see how deep you can go. 

Blessings,

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 

Ephesians 3:17-19 (NIV)
