‘Tis the season of Harvest Sales, Homecomings, Charge Conferences, football games, trips to find the right pumpkin, hayrides, bond fires with s’mores, visits to the mountains, raking leaves, cool mornings and sweaters….also….
‘Tis the time to sign up for the last Sound District Lay Servant Ministry class of the year!
Leading Missional Small Groups
This class has not been taught before in the Sound District. The LSM Board was led to offer this class because meeting together to pray, to study the Bible and to fellowship creates a nurturing atmosphere for spiritual growth. The class will be taught by Jackie Attaway and myself-both of us are a leader of a small group in our home church. The class is open to anyone who desires to better understand being in mission for Christ to their neighbors.
“I shall endeavor to show that Christianity is essentially a social religion; and that to turn it into a solitary religion is indeed to destroy it.” John Wesley in his sermon “Upon Our Lord’s Sermon on the Mount” IV p.17-Transforming Community by Knight & Powe
Join the class and learn about creating C.O.M.M.U.N.I.T.Y!

Warm blessings and simple prayer from a devotional reading a few years ago –
Lord,
Open our hearts to hope,
Open our minds to truth,
Open our lives to one another,
In Christ’s name. Amen
Grace and peace,
Roxie
