Fall Bible Studies

Pastor Dale will be resuming Bible Study classes in September. The present schedule is:

1. to study the Parables of Jesus in Luke – class time 6:15 pm on Tuesdays beginning September 15th with the Bible as the only textbook.

2. to study the ministry of the laity – class time 10:00 am on Thursdays beginning September 17th. We will be using “Your Calling as an Elder” by Gary Straub. We will also review the standards for lay leadership laid out by each of the 3 denominations in the parish. It is more of a “How to” class to assist and encourage leaders in their own ministries and in service to the church.

Pastor Dale is happy to offer additional meeting times for either of these 2 classes if the scheduled time is inconvenient for you.

Pastor Dale is still holding open the option for a web conferencing class of up to 8 people, an internet class with members participating from home.

Al Anon Group

We are wanting to start an Al Anon family group meeting in Humeston.

Al Anon is a program to help people cope with the effects of alcoholism
in their family. We share our experiences, strengths, and hopes with
each other to gain the peace and serenity we have lost in fighting the
disease of alcoholism.

If interested in attending please contact Pastor Dale O’Connell
at the Christian United Methodist Church, or call 641-877-4641.

Day and time pending.
