Women's Meeting

Ladies of Plummerville UMC (and friends!!),

Please join us at Jill's house WEDNESDAY NIGHT 6:30 to continue our study of The Open Table.

We will be having a simple dinner and then continuing our discussion of this exciting book. We are currently on Week 3. Please join us even if you did not go on the retreat or read the book. We are a group of women desiring to grow together and share in friendship.

I can't wait to see you all.

Love,
Jill

New Sunday School Series 9:45am Plummer Hall

Everyone! All people in the church are encouraged to attend our Sunday School class as we seek to better understand the Holy Scriptures, explore the traditions of our Faith, and share our own experiences. Sunday School is not for the Biblically or spiritually advanced; all are welcome and have something to offer.

Talk it out! Our class will not be lecture or teacher driven, but discussion based. Attendees will read lessons prior to Sunday mornings and bring observations or questions back to the group. We can all learn from one another. Discussions leaders will rotate depending on curriculum and schedule. Bro. Dane will lead the first few weeks of this new model.

What will we learn? For approximately 8 weeks, the class will work from the book, "This We Believe: The Core of Wesleyan Faith and Practice" by William H. Willimon. Rev. Willimon is Presiding Bishop of the North Alabama Conference. The text is designed for small-group study. The curriculum is a great reminder of our Wesleyan roots for those that have long been established in the Methodist tradition, but is also a great introduction of the Wesleyan faith.

On Sunday July 11th we kicked off the class with a discussion of John Wesley and "practical divinity." Fourteen people were in attendance. More books have been ordered and will be available at the church or from Bro. Dane. (book order should be here by 15th)

Next week, we will discuss chapter one with the intent of covering one chapter per week. If we find one chapter deserves more attention, we'll allow more than one week. There's no deadline! Or final exam!!

Keeping with our schedule, Sunday School will break around 10:30 for a time of fellowship before worship at 11:00. Coffee, Donuts, Fruit and Juice will be available. Please join us!!

Men's Prayer Breakfast: Sat. 10th 7:30am

The men of the church will gather this Saturday for a time of fellowship and prayer. Cooks will arrive around 6:30am. Food should be prepared to serve by 7:30am. The men will be doing all of the cooking and cleaning...make of this what you will!

Other than just enjoying the food and fellowship, there will be a time for Group Prayer. It is important that the Body of Christ (in part or in whole) is conscience of our time together. What about the Men's Breakfast at church is any different than a gathering at the local coffee shop? Saturday, we will set aside some time for prayer. Sharing prayer requests and praying in groups can be very powerful and transformational. Prayer does not come easy when we are by ourselves, left to our own devices. But, as a group we can encourage each other and experience new heights in our own spirituality.

We hope this Saturday that you leave breakfast both full in your stomach and in your spirit. Please join us!!
