Christian Education
One reason United Methodists are able to accomplish great things is the church’s emphasis on “connectionalism.” It is common to hear United Methodist leaders speak of the denomination as “the connection.” This concept has been central to Methodism from its beginning.

On December 4, we began a 6-week study called “Overcoming
Anxiety and Conflict,” by Jack Kuhatschek. How can we experience
the “peace which transcends all understanding?” How can you guard
your heart and mind from the stress of everyday life? This study helps
us discover how we can cope with anxiety, how we can feel safe in
God’s care, and how we can live at peace with others.
After the holidays, we will begin a study of Richard J. Foster’s classic book, “Celebration of Discipline.” Foster divides spiritual practices into 3 movements of the spirit: (1) inward Disciplines (meditation, prayer, fasting, study), (2) outward Disciplines (simplicity, solitude, submission, service) and (3) corporate Disciplines (confession, worship, guidance, celebration). We will study how the Disciplines can become part of our daily activities and help us in our spiritual growth.
