SPECIAL PRAYER EVENT

Sunday, February 26: 2-4pm  at Trinity UMC, Troy

The Spiritual Life team is sponsoring several prayer events offered at various points around the conference the weekend of February 25 and 26. These two-hour sessions are to call laity and clergy to come together for a time of prayer for the upcoming General and Jurisdictional Conferences, the Bishop, delegation, episcopal candidate, and for churches, pastors, leaders, and members moving into a season of change. Each event is two hours in length and while people participate in the order of prayers, they will also find a model they can take back to their local churches. The team has also designed a 50-day prayer schedule for the conference that will be revealed as the conferences approach. Laity and clergy are invited to attend a location of their choice.

Methodism 101 Sunday Mornings

Posted on by

Dear Friends,

You will soon be receiving the January church newsletter by mail and by
email.  That being said, I wanted to send out a separate email about Sunday
School.  In a meeting with those interested in Sunday School and Christian
Education, I proposed teaching a “Methodism 101′ class for new church members
and anyone wanting a refresher course on the basics of what we believe as United
Methodists.  The group affirmed my request to teach the class.  So,
beginning this Sunday, January 8, 2012 for 8 weeks, I will be teaching from 9.30-10.30
in the Community Room in the education building.  The time change is to
allow me to teach and still do the things I need to do before the 11 AM
service.

I know many of you already have classes to which you are committed and I
don’t want to pull you away from your regular Sunday School classes.  I did want
to let each of you know what was going on and give you a chance to consider
this class for these few weeks.  I am so excited about what God is up to at
Trinity UMC.  It seems that every day I hear from someone who wants
to rejoice with me about the way God is moving in their lives.  That sharing of
God’s love with each other and with the community around us is a vital part of
our Christian lives together and I am so grateful.
Please call me if you have any questions about the class.  If you need
child care to bridge the few minutes between the start of this class and the
beginning of Sunday School, let me know and we’ll work something out.
Blessings to each of you this day,
Kelli
