United Methodist Men

United Methodist Men (UMM) is a chartered organization within our church that provides an opportunity for fellowship for all men of the church. Meetings are held the third  Monday of each month. A typical meeting involves time of sharing joys, concerns, and prayer needs as well as plans for service to Windsor Hills (currently done over dinner at the great 611 Steak House off Franklin Rd). Men of all ages are welcome...the more men, the more we can accomplish!  For more information or a ride, call Ken Briggs (342-7000), Ira Chaffin (389-4594), or Jim Crowgey (774-2520)

Meetings:

The United Methodist Men meet at 6:00 PM at the Great 611 Steakhouse.

Next meeting:  Monday, June 21st    The speaker for the June 21 meeting of the UMM will be Dr. Rob Willingham who will deliver a program on the Origin and Rise of Islam.  It would be hard to imagine a more compelling and timely subject than that! 

Today we find ourselves engaged in a continuing worldwide conflict between the Christian and Muslim religions that dates back to the origin of the Muslim calendar in 622 AD when the prophet Muhammad made his historic visit to Mecca. The Biblical teachings of Jesus regarding salvation of non-believers through faith in the unconditional love of a kind and forgiving Lord seem diametrically opposed to those expounded by Muhammad in the Qur'an, where failure of persuasion to bring infidels to accept the harsh and demanding God of Islam justifies jihad, holy war.  Undoubtedly one of the most troubling practices of the Muslim faith to modern day Christians is the treatment of women as inferiors to men in almost every phase of life.  As Christians, we are all anxious to learn more about how to peacefully coexist in the world today without yielding to such an intractable adversary.

Sunday School Classes for Adults

Sunday School Information

Pathfinder's Sunday School Class
Have you ever wondered why we Christians do what we do for church every Sunday morning? Why do we “dress up” for church? Why does the pastor preach a sermon each week? Why do we have pews, steeples, choirs and seminaries? You might be surprised to discover that many cherished church traditions did not come from scripture.

In Pagan Christianity? George Barna and Frank Viola explore these and other questions to help us identify where many of our current church practices originated. The Pathfinders Class will be using this book for 8 weeks during the Sunday School time, Sunday mornings 10 to 10:45 a.m.

If you are interested in joining us, please come to Room #9, in the lower level of the church on Sunday, May 2. Books are provided. If you have any questions about the class, call Craig Kidd 772-4886 or Mark Fisher 772-0984.

Sojourner’s Sunday School Class
The Sojourner’s Sunday School Class will be beginning a new study on February 28th entitled:
MODERN PARABLES - Living in the Kingdom of God. This is a 12 week Bible Study Curriculum that transforms the way people see Jesus’ parables. Each session will include a DVD presentation of approximately 15 minutes, followed by discussions from class members and led by various teachers on a rotating basis. We invite all members of the class to participate in this exciting study as we journey through Lent and post Easter Sundays.

We especially invite those who are not active in a Sunday school class to join us as we gain insight into the connection between the parables and our daily struggle with our faith in this modern world.

 For further information you can contact Gail Johnson @ 989-8554.

All classes welcome new members, visitors, and inquirers. To learn more, visit or contact one of the following “Sunday School Hosts:” Ken Briggs - 774-9506 Bruce Goodpasture - 725-1329, Bob Johnson - 989-8445 , Craig Kidd - 772-4886,
