Journey Through Advent with John Wesley's Means of Grace. The season of Advent offers time and space for Christians to prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ at Christmas through reflecting on the story of salvation. In All the Good: A Wesleyan Way of Christmas, a group of diverse Wesleyan scholars will take you on an Advent journey guided by the practices in John Wesley’s means of grace. John Wesley’s emphasis upon practices of piety and mercy—or good works—drew from the larger Christian tradition. Such practices are often referred to as means of grace. The four-sessions features Wesleyan scholars guiding participants through the study. The study guides participants through one of the four weeks of Advent by reflecting on biblical passages in light of an aspect of Wesleyan means of grace highlighted by illustrations and stories. Readers will look at preparing the way for God, the impact and significance of prayer, the substance of good works and caring for others, and sharing God’s mission to the world.

New Bible Study

                  “What Were They Thinking?”

Did you ever wonder what was going through the minds of the characters we read about in the Gospels’ Christmas stories? It is difficult to know for sure for we have very little information to guide us. I (Dr. Dan Stinson) invite you to join me as we use our imaginations and explore some possibilities of what they may have been thinking.

This will be a six week study beginning on Wednesdays 10:00 A.M. at Pleasant  Hills UMC and 7:00 P.M. at Ridgewood UMC. Feel free to invite your family, neighbors and Friends.
