UPCOMING BOOK STUDIES

A study with Adam Hamilton's "Christianity's Family Tree" starts on Tuesday, January 21. 2025 at 10:30 AM. We will “double-up” some chapters in order to fit the study into 6 weeks.

The cost of the Participant Guide is $10.00. Please sign up at Connection Desk. I have only ordered about 10 books and will need an accurate count to order more. Or you can order your own on-line from Amazon, Cokesbury, or Christian Book.

I hope to see you there! 

Betty Smith, Group Facilitator

A 6 week study is starting on Monday nights at 6pm in the library on January 20th. We will be exploring the beginning of Genesis Part 1 with Mesu Andrews. There will be a sign-up sheet on the Connection Desk or contact Karen Camp at 508-737-1636 or email: nerakpmac13@gmail.com.

Men’s Breakfast on Saturday, Jan 18^th at 8:45 am in the Fellowship Hall:

John Wesley’s very own Ken Peal will be relating old stories about John Wesley Church. We'll start with a quick walk through of 200 years of Methodism in Falmouth that has led to this unique congregation in our 66 year-old building. It has been a remarkable journey with incredible stories to tell. Ken has put together some of his favorites, dug out from the archives, that may make you laugh or cry but altogether they will make you proud to be a part of this vital church. If you have questions or would like to help with the breakfast, please contact Matt O’Connor at oconnorscapecod@gmail.com.
