Adult Discussion Group

In Luke 5:1-11 Jesus tells Peter and the others to put out in deep water and, to their amazement, they catch lots of fish! Jesus tells Peter and others that they will now fish for people. They leave everything and follow him.

What valuable things have you left behind to be a follower of Jesus?

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

Community Events

Faith Formation at CUMC

Sunday Morning Faith Formation

Whirl Kids (4^th 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
