Sundays at 10:30am

In person and online.

Being United Methodist Christians

You are invited to join Kathy Talley, Bob Blinn, and Matt Bates in a 6-8 week course to refresh your understanding of the United Methodist version of the Christian faith, or perhaps explore this spiritual tradition for the first time. We will offer the course at two different times and in two different formats. The in-person format will begin Sunday, October 8 and conclude on November 26.  We will gather at the church at 9:00 a.m. for coffee and fellowship and start our conversation at 9:15 a.m. and conclude at 10:15 a.m. 

The online format will begin on Thursday, October 12 through November 30 (excluding Thanksgiving November 23) at 7 p.m. and conclude at 8 p.m. 

We invite all people to join us whether long-time Centenary members or those just exploring Centenary as well as people from the larger community who are interested in learning more about Christian faith from a United Methodist perspective. This will be an opportunity not only to learn but to build new relationships and experience the joy of Christian community!

Our conversations will focus on themes like how United Methodists view the Bible, what we share in common with other Christians and what distinguishes us, how we nurture our spiritual lives and how United Methodists serve God and neighbor.
