Adult Discussion Group

In the gospel lesson for Sunday the people hearing Jesus’ teaching liked what he had to say at first, but later they became angry with him, even to the point of wanting to push him off a cliff! What went on here? What triggered their anger? 

Come join us in the Asbury room after worship at 11:15 am

as we discuss Luke 4: 21-30.

Sunday Morning Faith Formation


Whirl Kids (4th grade and younger) meets the second and fourth Sundays of each month during part of the 10:00 am worship service. Children leave the worship service after the scripture reading and are led down the hallway to Classroom 6. Parents and other adults from our congregation lead the group in singing, Bible reading, a fun video and activities related to the day’s scripture reading. Parents/caregivers pick their children up at the conclusion of the worship service.


Middle School (grades 5-8) meets each Sunday at 11:15 am in the Library. Under the leadership of Matthew Beland, this group explores the day’s scripture reading through conversation and activities designed for growing together in our faith


High School (grades 9-12) meets each Sunday at 11:15 am in the Wesley Room. Under the leadership of Pastor Sharon Yarger, the group gathers for conversation around the day’s scripture reading and current event topics, as we seek to grow together in our faith
