Horizons

T here is a place where earth and

sky meet, a place in the distance that the ancient Israelites understood to be created by God. In the Bible it seems that they viewed it as a place where God has drawn an edge, and they associated it poetically with a boundary between light and darkness (Job 26:10; Proverbs 8:27). Some Bible translations use the term “horizon” for this idea in Scripture.

Its association with creation and with God’s creative boundaries in the world calls to mind the order that God originally brought from chaos in the beginning. It was God’s plan from the start to bring heaven and earth close together and to draw us toward that edge that contains this divine seam.

As strangely cosmic as this may sound, there is a God-given

spiritual horizon that lies in front of us and that invites us continually to stretch, to reach out, and to touch. Of course, God has made it such that we never run out of horizons so that we keep stretching and growing. But we don’t need to worry about reaching God because God has already reached down to us. In Christ, God’s Holy Spirit meets us wherever we are and promises to remain with us for the duration of our journey, never leaving us and always encouraging us.

The new year always seems to invite us to recognize our horizons in fresh ways. The arrival of a new year may even spur us on to stop gazing and to begin embracing growth in a relationship with our Creator. God not only makes growth possible, but also invites us into it and facilitates it for us.

Allow the adult discipleship ministries at FUMC to become practical and encouraging tools for your growth. Make the choice to stretch, to reach and to grow this year. Explore your horizon. We hope the following pages of Growing Together will help.

As the apostle Peter looked toward the ultimate horizon of Christ’s return, he had this to say to Jesus’ followers: “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). This is how we live toward the future. Choose to join us as we all grow together in 2012!

given spiritual

horizon that lies

in front of us.”

Join the Journey An Exploration for Newcomers begins January 8

Growing Together in 2012

I f you are new to First United Methodist Church, you’ll find the Join the Journey experience to be an opportunity

to make a meaningful connection. It is especially designed to answer your questions about the Christian faith, the Methodist Church, and life in the church family. As you explore some basic topics in Christianity, Methodism, Bible study, and service and discipleship, you will get to connect with other newcomers and begin a journey of learning and spiritual growth together in this family of faith.

The weekly sessions are designed to inform and equip you to understand and respond to the biblical call to a life of discipleship. Sessions will also use as a supplement for discussion United Methodist Bishop William Willimon’s

This We Believe: The Core of Wesleyan Faith and Practice (Abingdon Press, 2010). We hope that every person in the

church family has a regular place of connection where you can learn and grow in community. We believe that Join the Journey will help you find a pathway to that connection that is right for you.

The next 12-week session begins January 8 at 10:05 am in Room C210. Pick up a

brochure in the main church lobby or visit the Short-Term

Studies area at sharingtheheart.org/adults to learn more. This is an ongoing class that you can join at any time in its 12-week cycle. So come along, connect with us, and join the journey! Contact Rev. Liz Greenwell for more information: [email protected].

Adult Discipleship at FUMC We’re Growing Together in the New Year

Growing in Faith on the Discipleship Pathway Meet the ADLT and the Horizons of Adult Discipleship Ministries

A t First United Methodist Church, we believe that the journey of Christian faith is a journey of growth. In

fact, the Bible calls us all to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). In the context of a relationship with Christ, we refer to the journey from our welcoming and orientation ministries to our study and growth groups to our relational small groups to service and mission as a “discipleship pathway.”

As part of this journey, we will always encour-age you to take a next step of spiritual growth by connecting with a Bible study, a Sunday school class, or a small group (to name a few) that is right for you. When we encounter the Bible and its implications for our lives—and when we do that together in community—we experience growth in some very important and biblically faithful ways.

If you are new to the Christian faith or to the life of the church, take part in the special newcomer’s experience, Join the Journey (see page 3). These 12 sessions are designed to serve not only as places of information, but also as bridges into other discipleship experiences.

The Adult Discipleship Leadership Team (ADLT) exists to

encourage and equip those who lead discipleship ministries so that

FUMC serves in an effective and balanced way those who wish to

take a forward step as disciples of Jesus Christ—wherever they are

on their journey of faith. The ADLT leads this ministry area by

providing spiritual and logistical support, leadership development,

education and spiritual formation opportunities, and coordinated

oversight for FUMC’s discipleship areas.

Then, find a Sunday school class or group to take your study of the Bible and your experience of Christian fel-lowship further. Sunday morning is a wonderful time for combining worship, fellowship and growth as you spend time praising God and giving attention to the Word of God in the Bible. As a next step, consider go-

ing deeper by joining a small group or a midweek Bible study. You will develop friendships, study the Bible in a focused and meaningful way, and have a place of support and refueling during the week to help you stay in focus.

There is always a place to take your next step at FUMC, and new opportunities are

added all the time. Your Adult Discipleship Leader-ship Team (ADLT) wants to support you on your pathway of discipleship in any way they can. Roger, Patty F., Ron, Tom, Donna, Patty M., Tina and John have committed their leadership ministries to support-ing your spiritual health and growth. If you need help “picking up the trail” or finding your way toward a connection that is a good fit for you, contact the ADLT anytime at [email protected].

“There is always a place

to take your next step at

FUMC, and new

opportuni es are added

Growing Together on Sunday Mornings

What’s Happening? Some Sunday School A‐B‐C’s

T he Alpha Omega Class is currently studying the question “Who wrote

the Bible?” using a video series by that name. These sessions chronicle new research and theological insight into the original writing of the Holy Scriptures. Alpha Omega meets on Sunday mornings at 10:05 in Room A215.

Bridges is a new 10:05 am class on Sundays that will begin the study, If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat, on January 8. This engaging and practical study by John Ortberg will be a great way to connect with others and to meet the challenges of the new year. Bridges meets in A225.

Parents of junior high youth will find the

Crusaders class to be a connection worth finding on Sunday mornings. This group was founded last spring as a way to continue the class for confirmation

parents (Credo) beyond the sixth-grade confirmation year. This is a group that loves to be together in study and support, and they meet weekly at 9:00 in A250.

The Genesis class uses biblical and topical study to generate in-depth discussions. This framework enables participants to reflect on how God’s Living Word in the Bible affect our everyday lives. In the new year this class will have studies focused on New Testament Scripture and its tie-in to our daily living.

We encourage you to visit classes and to be connected with us together in discipleship and community.

The Servant Class With the Sermon Scriptures through Lec o Divina

A re you looking for a Sunday School experience where you can explore the Bible in depth on a weekly basis? Maybe

one that can let the Holy Spirit be your guide? And enhance your sermon experience?

A few folks have been doing Sunday School in a focused and deep way that has been amazing in its results. They follow a study process called lectio divina, a timeless practice that goes back centuries in the history of the Church. This is a method of reading that helps and encourages us to open ourselves to the Word of God and to allow Scripture to speak to our hearts. The focus ultimately is on the question, “If I really believe this passage of Scripture, how should my life be different as a result?” This is reading both meditatively and transformationally—in community.

This group puts a twist on it, however, by studying the biblical text used in the sermon each week. This is a powerful way for our worship to meet our discipleship and for us to grow deeper together. Servant meets Sunday mornings at 10:05 in the senior pastor’s study (in the main offices).

If you are interested in knowing more, contact the Adult Discipleship office at [email protected] and we’ll put you in touch with the leaders.

Faith Connections Proverbs: Building a House of Wisdom

I n January, the Faith Connections Class will begin the new year in the Book of Proverbs. We will

study the subject of biblical wisdom and discover what it means for us to be wise. This book of biblical poetry has much to teach us about building our lives on a foundation of wisdom, which ultimately calls us to live according to the ways of God. Faith Connections will explore what this means and how it looks.

This class meets on Sunday mornings at 9:00 in Room C210 and is usually led by Pastor John Harman. This community of study is a place to grow and to connect on Sundays, and is open to all.

D id you know that hundreds of adults participate in classes at First Untied Methodist Church every

Sunday morning? Adult Sunday school is the church’s largest discipleship ministry and has much to offer for study, growth and fellowship.

The 23 regular adult classes on Sunday mornings include large lecture-style classes, mid-sized guided discussion Bible studies, and smaller groups that focus on biblical topics in more personal and informal settings. From inductive Bible studies to topical book discussions to marriage and family-focused fellowships, FUMC has a variety of opportunities on Sundays that are sure to include a match for your interests and style. And, there is always room for you!

Sunday school classes welcome visitors and those who just want to “shop around.” The Adult Discipleship

Leadership Team (ADLT) and the leaders of the Sunday classes encourage you to try the wonderful combination of worship and group discipleship growth as a regular part of your Sunday morning experience.

Many of the various classes maintain a web page on the church’s site at sharingtheheart.org/adults. There you can see a basic description of the group, the meeting time and place, and a person to contact if you would like more information. Often you can also find a description of the current study and other

activities in which the class is involved.

At FUMC, we believe that a life of faith is a life of growth, and we invite you to grow with us on Sunday mornings. We welcome your presence and participation as we open our lives together to the transforming experience of Bible study in community.

Sunday Morning Discipleship at FUMC

T he Horizons Bible study is one of the newest Sunday morning groups at FUMC, and it meets at

11:10 am every week in Room C200. The current study is a journey through the Book of Genesis, and the group is usually pastor-led. Ron Bentley and John Harman lead the teaching team.

Each week picks up where the previous session ended and continues through the book, so it’s easy to find your place and to fit in anytime.

In January, Horizons will continue with the story of Abraham and the birth of Isaac, the child of the covenant promise. With Isaac’s arrival, a new chapter in the history of God’s people opens, and it comes with

challenges and stumbles, as well as forward steps of faith. What a wonderful way to begin a new year—a year that invites us to take our next steps of faith and

one that is certain to challenge us in both predictable and in unexpected ways.

Nursery care is available during this hour, but children and youth Sunday school are not yet available at 11:10. Older children are welcome to come to the children’s area for activities or to

bring what they would like to do during this supervised time. If you have questions, email the childcare director, Jane Mills, at [email protected].

If you are looking for a Sunday morning Bible study, try Horizons! You are welcome anytime.

Growing Together

I n mid-January a group from FUMC will set out for a much-anticipated journey to the Holy Land. This bunch has been

meeting, studying, praying and planning together in a series of evening classes that will conclude with two special sessions in January—and you’re invited to join in.

On Sunday evening, January 8, Pastor John Harman will lead a presentation and discussion, Biblical Archaeology and the Holy Land: Digging in to

Understand Biblical History. Because so much of what we know about history in the Holy Land comes out of the ground, this session will focus on how archaeology in the land is carried out, what it can teach us, and what it can’t. We will also identify and look at some of the most significant finds associated with biblical archaeology. (6:15 pm in Room C210)

Next, on Saturday evening, January 14, church member and Middle East scholar Dr. Roby Barrett will facilitate a bonus session on Israel and Palestine today. The purpose of this time will be to prepare the travel group with some context and understanding of the current state of affairs and the real people of the Israel and Palestine that we’ll visit. All are welcome to come listen in as we are led by a world-class expert on this part of the world. (6:15 pm in Room C200)

FUMC in the Holy Land Two special classes in January 2012

Men’s Morning Bible Study Making Connec ons on Friday Mornings

On Friday mornings at 7:00, men gather at the church for coffee and Bible study together to start

the day. The discussion study is led by volunteer members of the group and encourages interaction and fellowship as well as praying for needs that are shared. Typically, this large group studies through books of the Bible by reading and discussing a new short section each week.

This time of connection and study is open to all men and welcomes visitors and those who may only be able to attend occasionally. Stop by Room B110 (the Parlor) any Friday and discover why this morning study is so popular at FUMC!

Current Bible Study:

The Book of Genesis

Stepping Stones Young Adult Fellowship

S unday mornings at 10:05, adults ages 20-30 gather together for fellowship

and spiritual growth. This group is in various life stages of transition, from going to college, to graduating and entering the workforce, to getting married and starting a family. You are welcome to join in anytime to connect and grow with others.

Contact Laci Settle Landrith at [email protected] or 214-578-9116 to learn more about Stepping Stones, or drop by Room A200 during the 10:05 hour on Sundays.

We Give Thanks . . . For Leadership Excellence at FUMC

T he past year, 2011, was amazing and blessed in adult discipleship

ministries at First United Methodist Church. The creative expansion that these ministries have shown and the spiritual and numerical growth that have resulted come as God has blessed the efforts of so many class, study, and group leaders.

The Adult Discipleship Leadership Team (ADLT) thanks all of those who prayerfully, capably, and lovingly lead their ministries so that others may “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). Your tireless expressions of servanthood, your commitments to keep yourselves growing, and your determination to depend on the Lord from whom all blessings flow are a blessing to all of us.

As we pray for you and for all of our leadership, we ask for the power and the refreshment of the Holy Spirit to energize you for the new year as we continue in this great ministry of growth together!

Women’s Studies

O ur ongoing Wednesday morning women’s group is studying The Challenge of Jesus,

which examines the contrast between Roman imperial theology and Jesus’ revolutionary theology of lordship, deity and peace. The video and discussion series features renowned historical Jesus scholar John Dominic Crossan.

Dr. Crossan believes that to understand Jesus one must begin with Jesus in his time and place, seeing his Jewish tradition and his world-transforming vision from that historical perspective.

This study meets on Wednesdays from 9:30 to 11:00 am in Room E215. Contact Patti Churner at [email protected] or 469-450-6608.

On Wednesday Mornings The Challenge of Jesus

On January 5, the Thursday morning women’s Bible study will begin a new study, The Bible in 90 Days. The basic plan of this study consists of approximately 45-

60 minutes of daily Bible reading, toward the goal of reading through the entire Bible in 90 days. The group will discuss the readings in the weekly study meetings, and a participant’s guide is available to guide your reading and study.

Take an opportunity to experience the big picture of the Bible as you begin the new year. This group is full of heart and a great place to connect. Reading through the Bible together is a wonderful way to learn and grow, as well as a way to support others and be supported on the journey.

This study will meet from 10:00 am to noon on Thursdays in the church parlor. For information, contact Vanessa Dry at [email protected] or 972-838-3563.

On Thursday mornings to begin 2012

Through the Bible in 90 Days!

O n February 21, an eight-week Bible study for women will begin on Tuesday mornings led by

Rev. Janet Cavalier. The study is Adam Hamilton’s series, 24 Hours that Changed the World, which will guide you through the last day of Jesus’ earthly life as we prepare to celebrate Easter this year.

This study includes video segments shot on location in the Holy Land as it examines the Gospel stories of Holy Week.

The discussion format of this journey will provide an excellent experience of spiritual preparation during the season of Lent.

The group will meet on Tuesday mornings from 10:00 to noon in Room C210. Contact Janet

at [email protected] or 972-562-8556 to find out more.

Personal Bible Reading Reading the Bible for Growth and Strength in 2012

T o begin 2012, we return to the New Testament to focus on many of the practical questions of the Christian faith. As we do, we’ll also focus on some of the theological basics that inform our faith—especially as the New Testament helps us

understand who Jesus is and how we might live practically in the light of his promised return. This will be a season of “letters” for us as we read from the early church’s correspondence and as we learn from their questions and struggles. You will find an amazing contemporary relevance in much of what we read this winter. You will also discover some of the deep continuity between the Old and New Testaments, reminding us that God’s story of grace has been unfolding since the beginning.

You can get a copy of this reading schedule printed on a bookmark at the Information Desk in the main church lobby. Let’s read and grow together!
