Thursdays from 9:30 am to 11 am in Room 308

During Lent, the Women at the Well (meeting in room 308 every thursday from 9:30-11am) will be studying “The Final Days” by Matt Rawle. Each of the New Testament Gospels offers a different lens through which we understand Jesus’ Passion.

Journeying through His last week in Jerusalem, His triumphant entry into the city, His suffering and humiliation on the cross, and the empty tomb come Sunday morning, we will ponder these themes of justice, poverty, freedom, and love. 

Sundays following Worship in Room 208

The Adult Fellowship Class meets in Room 208 following worship on Sundays.

On July 6, 2025, the Adult Fellowship Group will begin a 6-week study of Josh Scott’s book, Parables. Putting Jesus’s Stories in Their Place". We will examine these stories told by Jesus in a new light and ask what they might mean for us today.

All are welcome!  Contact Pat Graham at Annew41@outlook.com for more information.

Our new study meets Thursdays from 10:30am-Noon.

God Was with Me All Along by Mary Lou Redding. YOU are invited to join Claire

Kent on Thursday mornings, starting June 19, from 10AM – NOON this summer

for a journey through the book God Was with Me All Along by Mary Lou Redding. This Summer Study and Journaling Experience is designed to encourage those who seek to understand more about God’s presence in their lives in ways that may go beyond a current level of awareness.

Think about past experiences where, as you look back, you realize you were not alone, God was there walking beside you the whole time.

We will begin each in-person session with a Contemplative Practice including short time of silent meditation following a reading and/or listening experience based on one of the following:

o Scripture passages

o Prayers, blessings, or poetry from beautiful resources such as:

 This Day: A Wesleyan Way of Prayer—a collection of resources compiled by Laurence Hull Stookey, Circle of Grace: A Book of Blessings for the Seasons by Jan Richardson, Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver,

All of this accompanied by lyrics and/or recorded music of various Christian artists.

• There will be a time of sharing and discussion of selected Journal entries (brought to our small group meetings) in response to prompts from Mary Lou Redding’s book God Was with Me All Along.

The dates for study times are: June 19 & 26; July 10, 17, 24, 31, and Aug 14 & 21. Questions? Contact carolynmcgee@cvillefirstumc.org or Email Claire Kent

The Faith Seekers Class is studying “The Anxiety Opportunity” by Curtis Chang.

Faith Explorers is studying Brian McLaren’s new book, “Life After Doom”.

McLaren is an author, activist, public theologian, former pastor (24 years) and English professor who writes about the intersection of religious faith and secular culture. In this new book he describes the failure of religious and political leaders to address ecological overshoot, economic injustice, and the increasing possibility of civilizational collapse. He also explores the complexity of hope, grief and new ways of thinking, becoming and belonging in these turbulent times. All are welcome to join us in this enlightening study.
