Christian Builders — Room 205
Arrival & Fellowship 9:30 – 10:00 a.m. Lesson at 10:00 a.m.
Christian Builders is a Sunday School class that meets in room 205 every Sunday morning. We start arriving around 9:30 and spend the first 30 minutes in conversation and fellowship with our friends and church members. But at 10:00 we settle down and begin our lesson which can come from a Bible study or a discussion or our present study, Cokesbury‘s Adult Bible Study curriculum for fall 2022. Teachers vary from Sunday to Sunday. Join the fun and learning on Sunday mornings in room 205!
Growing In Faith Together (GIFT)—Room 309
10:00 a.m.
The GIFT class meets every week in Room 309. Leaders are whoever volunteers to teach the lesson, class secretary is Brenda Woodward. We have contemporary studies which typically consist of a DVD series and book study, usually around 12 to 16 weeks. Our age range doesn’t exist——we have “young” adults and “older” adults. We meet every Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. in room 309.
Pairs and Spares—Room 306
The Pairs and Spares Sunday School class is a group of welcoming adults who meet to discuss subjects or books, generally concerning biblical issues in the context of the current environment. There is no fixed teacher for the class as different members of the class take the lead on text or subjects they are interested in. The format is “discussion”, not a formal class setting, and divergent opinions are encouraged. The class meets on the third floor in room 304.
Pathfinders Class-Room 301
10:00 a.m.
The Pathfinders class invites all to come at 10:00 a.m. and study the word of God as it applies to each of us in our everyday lives. We have fun with each other in Christian fellowship, as well as pray hard for each other in Christian love. All adults, single or married, are encouraged to visit room 301 as we discover what path He has for us as we journey through this together. Join us as we work our way through video Bible studies.
SENIOR ADULT MINISTRY
SAMS (Senior Adult Ministry Sessions) is a new outreach to engage the older population of our area in fellowship opportunities to come together for a meal, activities and civic minded affairs once a month to connect with others.
When: The third Thursday of the month at 11:30AM, you are invited to come for lunch, followed by activities that will invigorate your body, mind and soul.
Purpose: Providence UMC hopes to build relationships with those who feel all alone, or are homebound.
For those who have no transportation, members of PUMC are willing to provide it, provided that those needing it, sign up a week in advance. We also hope to invite those living in Senior Living communities where transportation could be provided by their community.
Things you will see at PUMC
- Lunch & Get To know you games
- The option of two or more activities each month to include:
— Low impact physical activity like chair yoga, or chair soccer, board and card games, charades, and many other game options
— Opportunities to walk around the church grounds
— Trips to local shops or tourist spots
— Talks on various subjects of interest
United Women in Faith
- Do you want to become more active in church, but you just don’t know how?
- Are you ready to find a small group to become a part of?
- Do you want to grow closer to God and do more for others?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, then the UWF is for you!
The Laughon Circle meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the month (year-round) in Room 205 at 2:00pm. Our programs are very informative and are usually geared to issues important to women. We are very active in making Kits for Conference. We usually assemble school kits and health kits, too.
The Newton-Gregory Circle meets on the 1st Tuesday of the month at 7:00pm in the church or at members’ homes. Any women of the church that would like to join us are welcome! We enjoy fellowship, dessert, and a program/devotion time. It is a great way to meet new friends or to join old friends and enjoy time with Sisters in Christ each month!
