Adult Ministries

Adult Education

Several adult classes are held on Sunday mornings:

At 9:45 A.M.

Adult Bible Class – This class will be exploring biblical images of Jesus.  Who is Jesus?  What did he do? How can we live like him?  The books studied will be Hebrews, The Gospels, and the book of James.  This class meets at 9:45 a.m. in Room 26.

At 9:45 & 11:00 A.M.

Faith Matters – This class, taught by Rev. Cheryl Folk, will be studying James Moore’s book, Moments That Take Your Breath Away.  Every now and then, and more often that we realize, God breaks into the routine and gives us one of those awesome moments, so powerful, so amazing, so beautiful, that time seems to stand still.  This study will be offered at both 9:45 and 11:00 a.m. and meets in the Rising House Dining Room.

AT 11:00 A.M.

Ark Builders – This class meets at 11:00 a.m. in Room 26.  Contemporary faith-based topics and books are selected according to the interests of the group.  This class enjoys lively discussion and class interaction

WEDNESDAYS

Mid-Week Bible Study – This adult bible study meets each Wednesday from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. (note time change) at Crossroads.  The study will be facilitated by one of our pastors and examines the preaching text for the coming Sunday.  The format welcomes questions and shared discussion.  All adults are invited to join in this experience.  For questions, ask Rev. Brown, 653-3330.  The study begins Wednesday, September 10, in the Conference Room.

Young Spirits – This group of 20-40 year olds meet for bible discussions and social gatherings on Thursday evenings from September to May.  The bible study, led by Larry or Sam, focuses on the preaching text for the week and the group discusses how the passage relates to their lives and the world around them.  Socially, on the last Thursday of the month, they meet for dinner, bowling, cookouts, bonfires, game nights, and whatever else sounds fun for the group.  If you would like more information regarding the Young Spirits, contact the church. Young Spirits begins on Thursday, September 11 at 6:30 p.m. in the Spirit Café.

DISCIPLE LogoShort-term weekday classes are offered periodically as well as the DISCIPLE Bible Study program.  This program is not being offered this year.

Belonging Ministry Team

This group meets throughout the year to “shepherd” our new members. The group’s focus is to help new members connect with one another and with God through involvement in various forms of ministry based on individual gifts and talents.

Senior Adult Council

This Council is an advocate for the needs of older adults. They sponsor a reminiscence program, “Life Review,” for persons 80 and older and mail birthday cards to these persons.

The Senior Adult Council also creates resources for older adults and makes published material available to the congregation. These resources address the needs of older adults and assist in identifying the many services and programs available within the congregation and community.

Wednesday Fellowship Dinners

Dinner is served every Wednesday evening from September through May by volunteers. This is a great time for the church family to fellowship together.

Cross-Stitch Ministry

Persons who enjoy cross-stitching are invited to share their talents by creating Christian symbols as well as gift items given on behalf of our church.

Cokesbury Booktable Ministry

Books are sold on Sunday mornings in the parlor during Fellowship Hour. We also special order books at your request.

Church Library

The library is open on Sundays from 8:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. During the week, the library is locked, but can be accessed by any member of the staff. Books are loaned for four weeks, CDs for three weeks and videos for one week.

Knitting for a better world

 On Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m. in the Rising House, you can join other knitters in a new ministry that provides hope to people around the world. You can knit items for needy children: sweaters, preemie clothing, infant burial buntings, or teddy bear outfits. You can help adults by knitting 7" x 9" sections that are later joined together to make blankets for homeless or battered women’s shelters. You can knit bandages that will be sent to India for victims of leprosy, or sent to South Africa for AIDS victims. The opportunities to help others are abundant.

Every Wednesday morning knitters will come together to knit for others and enjoy fellowship with one another. Childcare can also be provided if requested by the previous Sunday.   Bring size 7 needles and a skein of worsted yarn.  If you love to knit but cannot attend on Wednesdays, contact Pam George for the patterns.  (Crochet patterns are also available.) You can still be a part of this important ministry right from your home.  If you want to learn to knit, or to teach someone to knit, contact Pam George, 740-653-3330.
