The following is a list of opportunities for people at Glynlea Grace UMC to learn and grow in their faith:
- Wednesday night Bible studies
Since October 2008 the Wednesday night Bible Study has completed the ‘Alpha Course’ and ‘Wesleyan Study of Scripture’. The ‘Alpha Course’ provided a sound basic understanding of Christianity. In the ‘Wesleyan Study of Scripture’ we studied a passage of Scripture and then looked at one of John Wesley’s sermons to see what he thought about that piece of Scripture. Currently we are engaging in a detailed study of Paul’s Letter to the Romans. We have dinner at 6PM and the Bible study follows at 7PM.
- Prayer Shawl Bible study
Meets every Wednesday morning at 10 AM. While conducting a Bible study, some of the members knit prayer shawls. We pray over the prayer shawls and then give them to children who are in the hospital. It’s a way of reminding the children that God loves them.
- Upper room devotional
Meets every other Thursday at 1PM. It uses the Upper Room devotional as a basis for a Bible study.
- Fit & Faithful
Meets every Wednesday at 6:30PM. A support group for people who are attempting to maintain a healthy weight.
- Prayer circle
Meets every Tuesday at 6PM. They pray for the church as a whole and for individual people. They send a ‘prayer card’ to the people they prayed for to let them know that they have been prayed for.
- Sunday School classes
We have four adult Sunday school classes. We also have youth and children’s Sunday school.
- Prayer retreats
Periodically we have prayer retreats where we spend the day in prayer in order to discern God’s will for this church.
It is our hope that the Holy Spirit will use these opportunities to touch our hearts and change us. We wish to become more and more like our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.
