For our final Sunday of Questions to God session, we ask “Why is Jesus Special?” What is it that makes him special, unique, and everlasting? How can Jesus be celebrated in a parade and, in just a few days later, be put to death? Come join our discussion in the Asbury Room at 11:15 am after Sunday worship.

If you have questions or wish to be on our mailing list, please contact Ron Yarger at ryarger01@gmail.com

You're Invited!

Wherever you may be on your faith journey, we welcome you to connect with others for conversation, reflection, and prayer during the six-week season of Lent. Each group meeting lasts approximately one hour, and participants are welcome to attend one, some, or all sessions.

The Sunday morning Lenten Small Group will use Questions to God, part of the United Methodist Church’s “Breakthrough Series”. Asking questions, such as Who is God? Why do bad things happen to good people? and How can I face the future? are common questions we might ask God. 

Print copies of lessons will be available each Sunday of Lent, and by email (contact Ron Yarger at ryarger01@gmail.com).

For the Monday group our guide and companion through the season will be the daily devotional Living Well Through Lent 2026: Cultivating Healing and Wholeness In Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind. It offers a holistic approach to exploring healing and wholeness for ourselves and for the world.

Print copies are available in the church office, and various digital options are offered at livingcompass.org and on Amazon.

Sunday group will meet in person and on Zoom.

Monday group will meet on Zoom ONLY for remaining sessions.

• Sundays (2/22 – 3/29) at 11:15 am (Ron Yarger, facilitator)
• Mondays (2/23 – 3/30) at 7:00 pm (Pastor Sharon Yarger, facilitator)

For further information or to receive the Zoom invitations, contact Assoc. Pastor Sharon Yarger at scyarger@optonline.net
