UNITED METHODIST WOMEN

Our United Methodist Women’s unit is over 100 years old. Individual interests vary as much as our ages. Our main focus is on missions and service to women and children around the world. A Unit Meeting for all members and guests is held regularly. Small study groups/circles also meet each month. Join us to share ideas, grow spiritually, mature in your faith, and strengthen your commitment to God and to all God’s children.

MEN'S PRAYER BREAKFAST

Each Wednesday morning at 7 o'clock, our men's group meets in the Fellowship Hall for breakfast, fellowship, and prayer.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT PROGRAMS

Join us for a delicious dinner at 5:45, and stay for prayer and an after-dinner presentation. There are activities for children and youth as well.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES

Sunday School classes meet at 9:40 on Sunday mornings. We currently have four adult classes:

The Crossroads Class meets in Room 212 and focuses on encouraging personal growth. This class emphasizes fuller understanding of Christian discipleship and maturity. Literature on contemporary studies deals with issues facing us today.

The Crusader Class is composed of mature adults meets in Mullins' Chapel and uses the Adult Bible Studies curriculum. This group of kind, sharing individuals is dedicated to seeking God's guidance and service to their church and the wider community. This Class provides members the opportunity to form lifelong friendships and be part of a strong Christian community.

The Lamplighter/Friendship Class meets in the Gym Building and uses the Adult Bible Studies curriculum, with each lesson introduced by a devotional from a class member. A variety of teachers, each with his or her own unique style, provides added interest to this class, as members grown in the Spirit and reach beyond themselves in commitment to the church and its ministries, helping and nurturing others.

The New Directions Class meets in Room 117. This is a self-taught group and uses biblically-based studies of current interest.  They have a strong focus on outreach and missions, adding dimension to their growth as committed Christians.

BIBLE STUDIES AND SPIRITUAL FORMATION GROUPS

Various Bible studies and spiritual formation groups are started from time to time and for varying lengths of time. We recently completed a short-term Lenten Bible study, Celebrate the Risen Christ, and a longer-term spiritual formation group studying Companions in Christ, has been meeting since the fall and will finish up in in the fall.
DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN'S MINISTRIES: April Riley - April@mullinsumc.org SEPTEMBER 2010 NEWSLETTER! SUNDAY SCHOOL: Our children's Sunday School department has teachers that are warm and loving and a curriculum that is based on the "lectionary" (the scriptures used in Sunday worship will also be used in that day's Sunday School classes). The Seasons of the Spirit curriculum provides resources for "worship, Christian education, and ministries of serving. These resources nurture faith through liturgy, ritual, imagination, and encourage Christian growth through worshipping, learning, and serving together. By equipping and enabling leaders, Seasons of the Spirit strives to empower children, youth, and adults to articulate 'the hope that is in them.'"
