How United Methodist Are You?
We are excited to announce a small group study beginning on Wednesday, November 1 at 6:15pm
We will use the book Being United Methodist Christians to guide our time together. With grace and hope at the center, this is a study of the history, theology and practices that define the United Methodist Church. During our six weeks together we will discuss practical, useful information for all United Methodists. It doesn’t matter if you have been a lifelong United Methodist or you are exploring the faith, you will find this study helpful in your faith journey.
So that we might be prepared for you, please let the office know that you plan to attend. You can reserve a book at the same time. Even if the books do not arrive before Wednesday, please plan to attend the study.
There will also be a group that meets on Thursday mornings at 10am.
Both groups will meet in the Youth Room in the CEC.

ONLINE DIRECTORY CHANGE!!!
The Instant Church Directory (our previous online church directory) is no longer in service.
We are now using “Realm Connect”. This is an app you can download on your phone or tablet.
You can use this as your online directory, BUT ALSO… keep your personal information updated, check your giving and chat with others. We will be issuing more information and sending invitations out. Each member will create their own account and password.
THANK YOU for your patience and flexibility during this transition!
