THE ANGELS AMONG US: #DoNotBeAfraid - Advent Study! |
|
| The angels that appear in the story of Jesus’ birth would have been very comfortable in our world of tweets and hashtags. Their messages were often short and to the point and their favorite line was “Do not be afraid”! We will be hearing the stories of God’s winged messengers to Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the Shepherds. How did they respond? How did the message change their lives? How did it help them to not be afraid? And together we can be thinking about the angels among us and the miracles around us.
Join us this advent season on Sunday mornings in the lounge studying the angels messages between services, Tuesday morning Women's Group at 8:00am in the Garden Room, and Wednesdays at 6pm in the Conference Room with the Good Grief group. Books are available now at the welcome desk! |

| Men's Group meets at Noon on Wednesdays in the garden room. All are welcome! This study explores where God is when tragedy and suffering strike? When the ground shakes, and a poor nation's economy is destroyed; when the waters rise, washing away a community's hopes and dreams; when a child suffers neglect and abuse; when violence tears apart nations where is God? If God is all powerful, and if each one of us is a beloved child of God, then how can God allow tragedy and suffering to mar his creation?
In Why?, best-selling author Adam Hamilton brings fresh insight to the age-old question of how to understand the will of God. Rejecting simplistic answers and unexamined assumptions, he lays out core ideas for comprehending God's plan for the world, including: God will not take away our free will, even when we use it to grieve him. God will never abandon us, especially in the midst of our suffering. While God is not the author of suffering, God will bring blessing out of tragedy. |

| Timeless wisdom for all who grieve. |
|
| Our grief offering will begin again Sept 3rd for those who have attended in the past or never attended but feel they would gain help from coming alongside others in experiencing grief. This group meets Wednesday evenings from 6-7 pm in the conference room at Wesley led by Kathi Pritts. Contact Kathi at kpritts@wesley-umc.com with further questions.
Good Grief identifies ten stages of grief--shock, emotion, depression, physical distress, panic, guilt, anger, resistance, hope, and acceptance--but, recognizing that grief is complex and deeply personal, defines no right way to grieve. Whether mourning the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage, the loss of a job, or other difficult life changes, Good Grief is a proven steady companion in times of loss. The Grief Group meets Wednesday Evenings 6-7 pm in the conference room with Kathi Pritts. |
