of ways for you to be involved. Visit www.umcom.org to learn more.

"A PEOPLE CALLED BY GOD"


Beginning May 15, on Pentecost, the "birthday of the church,"
we'll embark on an increasingly crucial discussion of what it means
to be the church, a people called by God, as the church's role in
North American culture continues to shift. What was our
beginning like, what's happened over the past 1,700 years, and
what clues do we have about the future shape and role of the
church in our culture? Come be a part of the conversation which
includes:
Sunday, May 15
"The Spring time of the Church"
Sunday, May 22
"The Official Religion"
Sunday, May 29
"Displacement"
Sunday, June 5
"Longing for Spring"
Sunday, June 12
"Communion"
