Bible Study with Barb
Bible Study with Barb will meet on Wednesday evening, Sept 29, at 7:00, either in the Youth Lounge at the rear of the sanctuary or via Zoom.
This will be after Wednesday Night Supper, so you can mosey on up after you’ve eaten and join us!
We are currently reading and discussing some of our favorite Psalms. This week is Psalm 21, Psalm 23, and Psalm 37, sp. vs. 23-24. This is a good way to read a few of the Psalms, understand a few basics about the particular Psalm, and see what others feel when they read them.
Come and join us – there’ll be a seat at the table for you! Call or text me, Barb at 419-680-2103, if you have any questions.

Senoia Prays Walk
9:00am
OK, everyone! It’s no longer 80+ degrees outside in the morning!
Join us next Saturday, Oct 2, at 9:00am as we have our monthly Senoia Prays Walk.
The Weather Channel predicts the temp to be in the high 60’s. Perfect strolling weather! Take 45-60 minutes of your morning and come and pray for our neighborhood and community as we stroll. It’s an uplifting time for everyone. We meet in the church parking lot. Call or text me, Barb at 419-680-2103, if you have any questions.

Upper Room Connexion Group
The Upper Room at SUMC devotion group will meet on Wednesday morning, Sept 29, at 10:30 in the JOY Room, off the narthex at the rear of the sanctuary.
This group is open to everyone in the church, as we meet and discuss the daily devotions from The Upper Room devotional booklet. It’s as simple as that. And yet, it is so very comforting and inspiring as we discuss and pray together.
Come and check it out this week. I know you will enjoy it! Call or text me, Barb at 419-680-2103, if you have any questions.
