Adult Bible Study with Bill


The scripture for next week comes from Acts 4:1-22. In this lesson, we will examine the Holy Spirit’s role in empowering the church.


This class is based on the Cokesbury 
Adult Bible Studies series, copies of which are provided without cost. I share my own insights and often cover different material than what's in the book. However, you may gain further insights into the lesson if you have the book. I welcome open discussion in our classes.


Greg Way's Sunday Bible Study


Easter, Christmas, Epiphany, and Pentecost - They all tell a story. But Trinity Sunday defies our story-telling skills.


Our celebration of the Trinity asks that we focus on the most difficult - maybe the most paradoxically true yet illogical - doctrine of our faith, but do we find ourselves circling around the “How?” or the “Why?” of the Trinity? How do we make sense of God the Three-in-One? How do we explain the Trinity without falling into heresy? Why do we declare a doctrine that has no direct reference in scripture?


Maybe we should stop to consider that those may not be the right questions.


And maybe then we will see a mystery beyond understanding become the mystery that grounds a faith beyond measure.

Pastor Jack Womack's Sunday School Class


Faith Journeys with Pastor Jack

Join Us After Worship for Bible Study

 

What does faith look like when you do not yet know where the road will lead?

 

This Sunday in Bible Study we will explore Genesis 12:1–9 — the story of Abram hearing God’s call to leave everything familiar and journey into an unknown future guided only by promise and trust.

 

Abram’s story is not just ancient history. It speaks to every season of life when we are called to step forward in faith, even without having all the answers.

 

Together we will talk about calling, trust, risk, blessing, and what it means to follow God one step at a time.

 

No preparation is needed, and everyone is welcome. Whether you have studied the Bible for years or are simply curious, there is a place for you in the conversation.

 

Come join us this Sunday as we journey with Abram and consider where God may still be calling people today.

ARE YOU LOOKING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

HERE ARE SOME PLACES YOU CAN.


Family Promise

Are you looking for an occasional reminder that you are sitting in a comfortable seat in this world? That you have a roof over your head, food in your belly, and that, on many days, you are in control of the smaller things in your life - when to wake, sleep, eat, exercise, or bathe.

 

Family Promise can remind you! 

 

Training required - about an hour.

 

Commitment - Seabrook United Methodist Church volunteers are on the roster 4 times a year, 2 evenings and/or nights a week. That’s 8 times a year max. And you can choose to participate just once a year and still support this program!

Our next host weeks:

 

AUGUST 16 -23

NOVEMBER 8 -15

 

Contributions - Purchasing, preparing, and serving dinner dishes. Eating and conversing with families. Interacting with children. Spending a night at our host church, Clear Lake United Methodist Church. And, with any of these, listening to and encouraging our Family Promise guests.

 

Reward - A glimpse into the lives of others who are currently challenging themselves to create a comfortable seat for their family in this world. They are working on this challenge with the support of the Family Promise program, and you can be a part of us. 

https://familypromise.org/ to learn more.



Our coordinator is Hilary Gibbs. If you would like to get involved, please contact Hilary at 832-385-2414 or Velita at the church office

(281-326-1970) and she will pass on your interest to Hilary.

Know someone who is hurting? Someone who is sick? Someone depressed?


Come by the Church Office and pick up a beautiful prayer shawl and card to give them when you visit. These prayer shawls are lovingly made by one of our members to bring comfort and peace.
