9:00AM-10:00AM Sunday mornings

The Holy Spirit is growing within us as we learn about the Fruits of the Spirit. Each week we’ll discuss a new “fruit” – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

New Sunday Class Today at the 9:00 hour ! “When Did God Become a Christian”? is the name of the study. The target age for the class is 50’s to 70’s. The class will be led by Steve Link. Questions? Talk to Pastor Bridget or Steve.

Reverse Trick or Treating Put on your

Halloween costume and join us for a Reverse Trick or Treat event on

Sunday, October 29 at 4:00PM. Instead of going door-to-door asking for candy, we’ll be heading out into the neighborhood around the church to leave treat bags with candy in them and an invitation to visit us at Valley View. We’ll need lots of adult help to make the rounds of the neighborhood safely, and we’ll come back to the church for a little Halloween fun until 5:30.

Our annual Cross-Lines Christmas Store Toy Collection will take place during October.

A Christmas Tree will be set up in the Servant Café area and will have tags hanging on it with toy suggestions. Take a tag and buy the gift. Return it under the tree anytime in October. Cross-Lines is a non-profit social service agency in Kansas City, KS that provides people affected by poverty with basic opportunities that encourage self-confidence and self-sufficiency. They provide a Christmas Store each year for their clients to ‘shop’ for Christmas gifts for their family.

Yes, you are a POD! PODs are "Parents of Disciples." While this group is aimed at parents, it's not a "parenting class." It is just targeted at those in similar life stages (ie...not retired). PODs meet from 9:00-10:00 in the Youth Lounge, and they are studying “Christian – It’s Not What You Think”. No pre-work required – jump in when you can!

Coffee & Conversation (C&C) Sunday School at 9:00AM Want to learn how to apply Biblical principles to current events? Join us in Fellowship Hall for lively discussions where we explore current events from materials provided by the Wired Word.

United Methodist Women Joy Circle will gather on October 24 at 11:30AM for lunch at The Bristol, 119 & Nall. Following lunch, we will have a travelogue presented by members. Brenda Sharp is the hostess, and all are welcome to join us. Friendship Circle will meet on Tuesday, October 24, at 1:30PM in Room 50/51. Program is by Jeanette Grenz. Refreshments will be served by Ronita Schultz and Carolyn Harlan. Grace Circle will meet on Tuesday, October 24, at 7:00PM.
