Cross Connection with St. James AME Church

Sundays beginning July 12 | 11AM

This summer Central’s Church & Society Committee would like to offer you the opportunity to visit St. James AME Church in a small group with others from our congregation.

You may remember St. James’ pastor, Reverend Bynum, who brought the message to Central at the Easter Sunrise service this year. Dr. Bynum is a proponent of cross-congregation connection, and St. James has a very welcoming approach to their services. Each group will be facilitated by a member of Church & Society.

On July 19th St. James AME will be celebrating their 139th Anniversary. Join in the celebration!

If you are interested in participating, please visit this link for the more information and to sign up: https://onrealm.org/centralumc/Registrations

Try Out a Small Group This Fall!

Try out a Small Group! Join us for an 8-week exploration of the basic building block of the Methodist movement: John Wesley’s “class meeting.” Over the course of this experience we’ll gradually shift weight from a study to a small group experience, giving participants and understanding and a taste for why these weekly meetings are so important to our spiritual growth.

We’ll end with an opportunity for those interested to form new small groups that continue meeting. We will meet after worship (11:15am) in Room 219 from 9/13 to 11/15, skipping first Sundays of each month (for the Table2Table meal).

Participants will need a copy of Kevin Watson’s book, The Class Meeting. It can be purchased from Amazon or picked up from our church office for a $20 suggested donation.
