FELLOWSHIP MEAL

A simple meal for an inexpensive price enabling families and individuals to enjoy a time of fellowship around the table with their church family. With three Sunday services and a busy lifestyle one of the missing components of our church life is fellowship. The meals are catered by the CrossWalk team and Monroe Vocational Technology School in Leesburg. The menu changes weekly and will include a main course, side dish, salad and dessert. The suggested donation for meals is $6.00 for adults and $4.00 for children with $18.00 maximum per family.

New Adult Study Series Starting in January 2012

Serious Answers to Hard Questions led by Randy Duncan. Several theologians (world experts in their fields, and people of faith), were each asked to address perplexing issues such as the existence of evil or the relationship between religion and science. The result is this course, which will encourage energetic discussion and sustained reflection.

(En Español) "Creer, amar, obedecer. Discipulado en la tradicion Wesleyana" by Marigene Chamberlain - Led by Luz Zuleta.

A study about a Christian Discipleship within the Wesleyan Tradition (Discipuladao cristiano en la tradicion Wesleyana).

To learn, to obey, and to grow (Aprender, Obedecer y Crecer). In this course people in the Hispanic community will discover

what kind of church we are.

The Lives of the Twelve Disciples (Continuing) led by Chris Richter. In this study, we will look at each of the Disciples, to try to understand the type of man he was, the ways he interacted with Jesus, and to understand how he was transformed. Although little is known about some of these men, we will discuss historical accounts and some early Christian writings that may provide clues about what roads each took after Pentecost, in laying the foundation that turned their incredible experience walking with the Son of God into our religion.

Introduction to SUMC led by Phil Mohr. A course about Sterling United Methodist Church. Learn about the United Methodist church and SUMC history and basic theology, our government structure, missions and ministries. Learn how you connect, and how God can use your spiritual gifts in our midst.
