Adults
Discipleship is a shared life and a personal journey that forms us into a Jesus-shaped life of love. A Jesus-shaped life of love involves four rhythms of life: Worship - centering our lives in God; Grow - pursuing growth and transformation; Serve - sharing the love of Christ and Connect - building beloved community. This winter and spring's Adult Grow offerings will help adults discover rhythms, resources, and community experiences that will support a Jesus-shaped life of love.
Adults at CUMC cover those ages 18+. We come together for making friends, making a difference in our community and deepening our faith. Register your kids for childcare when you sign up for a class, group, or study.

Breathe: Making Room for Sabbath
Wednesdays: October 22-November 19, 6pm at CUMC
One of the greatest challenges in our culture is taking time to cease from all the activities and just breathe. We are in bondage to busyness. We constantly strive to complete the limitless to-do lists that hinder us from experiencing all that God has for us. By neglecting time for tranquility, serenity, and repose, we limit our Christlikeness and miss out on some of God's greatest gifts. In the Old Testament, Sabbath was given to the Israelites as a gift, and it is still a gift to us today. If you are weary, worn out, and exhausted, then the concept of Sabbath will change your life. Led by Jenn Brink. Childcare available. Sign up here.
