OPEN DOORS: WINTER SESSION
JANUARY 13 THROUGH FEBRUARY 10, 2010
MOMENTUM D.R.I.V.E.
Come back to St. Andrew UN Church mid-week for 5 consecutive Wednesdays, beginning January 13. Our "Open Doors" Session offers a catered dinner in New Fellowship Hall at 5:30 pm ($7.00 per person/$20 maximum per family), followed by contemporary worship in our sanctuary at 6:30 pm, then classes for all ages at 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
Classes for children and youth include: Nursery (ages 3 and under); K to 3; Junior Youth /fellowship (JYF); and Methodist Youth Fellowship (MYF).
Classes for adults include:
"Spirituality from a Wesleyan Perspective" This class will give an overview of Methodist spirituality and history. While this class is a great introduction to those desiring to join St. Andrew, it will also be very informative to those seeking to know more about our Methodist heritage. This class will be lead by Pastor Mark Fieger.
"Momentum for Life" Based upon the book by UM Mega-Church Pastor Rev. Michael Slaughter, this will be an intensive practical devotional series aimed at deepening our faith and discipline by building 'momentun' in our lives towards a fuller life in Christ. We will follow his acronym DRIVE: (D)evotions; (R)eadiness for lifelong learning; (I)nvesting in key relationships; (V)ision; and (E)xercise and healthy living. Each week we will share about and discuss our daily lives in terms of these five items and begin to build useful practices into our lives reflecting the DRIVE and momentum we want to build. Sign-up is required; a signed covenant is required (we will covenant together on the first night); reading the book is required; daily exercises and reflections will be part of the weekly "homework". The nature of this group will be to practice discipline as mucfh as learn and discuss new material and information, therefore, those who sign up will be expected to participate fully...this is not a casual study. This class will be lead by Pastor Erik Hall.
