Tuesdays

Women’s Bible Study
The Ten Commandments
9:30am

Facilitator:  Meagan Matthews 631-9623 or  rev.matthews@gmail.com

We will be using Joan Chittister’s book, “The Ten Commandments:  Laws of the Heart.” to examine questions such as:  are the 10 Commandments just a set of rules or are they a way of life & how does each one call us to reflect on our life and values? Each chapter focuses on what one of the commandments means for us today. The final two chapters shed light on the two Great Commandments, "Love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself."

The Externally Focused Church
7pm

Facilitator:  David Beck 634-7427 or dbeck@nccumc.org

Externally focused churches ask for a little from many people, not great things from a few. And rather than changing or creating ministries, they partner with organizations that already help people in need. Learn from churches that have made serving their communities a priority--with dramatic results. Your church can be a firm pillar in your community because of the unwavering truth and love of its members.

Disciple IV:  Under the Tree of Life
7-9pm

Facilitator:  Robert Flynn 631-2519 or r.flynn@nccumc.org

The word Under in the title is meant to convey invitation, welcome, sheltering, security, and rest--home at last. UNDER THE TREE OF LIFE concentrates on the writings in the Old Testament – Ruth, 1 and 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Lamentations, and Daniel. New Testament Scriptures include the Gospel of John; 1, 2, and 3 John; James; Jude; and Revelation.

Thursdays

Disciple I:  Being Disciples Through Bible Study
9:30 - 11:30am

Facilitators:  Carlton Pernell and Meagan Matthews 631-9623 or  rev.matthews@gmail.com

BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY gives equal time to both the Old and New Testament, emphasizing the wholeness of the Bible as the revelation of God. DISCIPLE aims at transformation, not just information, and calls on persons to submit themselves to examination by Scripture, to put themselves under the power of God’s Word, and to be changed by God’s Word.
