Rooted, Growing, and Branching Out in God's Love

A Place to Grow

We offer Zoom and in-person gatherings for bible study. For more information about these opportunities, contact Rev. Cindy Riddick at criddick@stjohnsumctc.org.

Advent Bible Study — Mondays at 7 PM on Zoom

Join this group as we prepare for the celebration of the birth of Jesus. We will explore the traditional themes of Peace, Hope, Love, and Joy through the lens of our Wesleyan heritage. We will also discuss Pastor Stephanie’s Sunday sermon. Rev. Cindy Riddick will lead. Books are $10. Contact the church office for the Zoom link. Sign up in the foyer or contact Cindy at criddick@stjohnsumctc.org. 

Advent Devotions 

Pick up a copy of these daily Advent devotions that compliment the bible study and Pastor Stephanie’s Advent sermons. Devotional books are $10. 

 

Journal Your Gratitude

Beginning with Ash Wednesday, we have encouraged our community of faith to keep a gratitude journal. As Easter Sunday came and went, we continue to find value in writing down something to be thankful for each day. God is good and God’s blessings can be found daily. Today is a wonderful day to begin or continue your list of daily blessings. For an example of a gratitude journal, click HERE

Daily Meditation Time

Time with God is one way that we grow as disciples of Christ. We are encouraged to find time each day to sit quietly, to pray, to listen, to read scripture, and to meditate on the Word of God. Daily devotionals are one way to spend time learning and growing in the faith. As a faith community, we make The Upper Room devotional available in both regular and large print. If you would like a copy of the November/December 2024 issue, please contact the church office or email criddick@stjohnsumctc.org.
