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 September

"Foundations: Principles of our Christian Faith" Facilitator - Randy Duncan

This course will explore the basic doctrines of our Christian faith and how we apply them to our daily lives. We will look at the history, beliefs, and structure of the United Methodist Church.

"Comparing Christianity with Other Beliefs" Facilitators - Chris & Allison

In this study, we'll examine many of the world's religions -- from a Christian optic -- so that we can better understand those beliefs and value systems that surround us. In the process, we hope to crystallize why we believe what we believe and earn a better appreciation for the love of God, expressed through the sacrifice of his son.

"Act Against Violence: Parents Raising Safe Kids Program" (in Spanish) Facilitator - Luz Zuleta

ACT Adult and Children Together Againt Violence - Parents Raising Safe Kids is a violence prevention program for parents or caregivers with kids 0 to 8 years old.

"Healing is a Choice" Facilitator - Steve Hall

Stephen Arterburn writes the power to heal - physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually - is in God's hands. But the choice to be healed is yours. Everyone, at some level, needs healing. In this 10-week study of Stephen Arterburn's book we will look at ten choices crucial to receiving healing.
