Small Groups – Spring 2010
Small Groups are a wonderful way to get to know people better and have some fun. In the past, many of us have experienced great growth through exploring truth, especially the Truth, with peers and mentors in these groups. We strongly encourage everyone to try them out. If you don’t like one, you are absolutely free to try each one until you find the one that fits.
Small groups meet at the Wesley House (2202 Nueces) unless otherwise mentioned. Contact Kevin, the Small Group Coordinator, for more info.
Freshmen Girls’ Bible Study
7:00 Mondays at the Wesley House
Contact Katie Keller or Caitlin Reed
This semester Freshmen Girls’ will be reading through an awesome and enlightening book called Who I Am In Christ. Discovering your Identity in Him is such an awesome experience and freshman year is a really great time to dig into this important idea. See Katie or Caitlin and they’ll help you find a copy of the book and get you plugged into all the great discussions and good times to be had with Freshmen Girls’ Bible Study. Yay!
Great Bible Adventure
7:00 Mondays at the Wesley House
Contact Sarah Lancaster or Cesar Garcia
Have you ever attempted to read through the Bible and got lost somewhere in Leviticus? Do you have a desire to know and understand what the Bible has to say and its relevance for today’s world? This group is perfect for you!! As a group we’ll be working through the Bible in a year, encouraging one another, praying for one another, and having an altogether phantasmic time. Reading the Bible individually through the week (20-30 minutes per day) sets us all up for great discussion, fellowship, and prayer at our weekly meetings. No previous reading or knowledge of the Bible is necessary. Whether you’ve yet to venture out into a walk of faith or you’re wondering where to go next, Genesis is a great place to start.
Quit Yo’ Jibba Jabba!
10:30am Tuesdays in the prayer room at the Wesley House
Contact Patrick Sloan
In the midst of our busy schedules, it’s hard to hear God’s voice. We all need to take time to put aside our many distractions, be silent and just listen. Join us as we experience different and creative ways of listening to God as He speaks to us, including art, solitude, being in nature, prayer labyrinths and scripture.
Alpha (Dinner Included)
6:30-9 Wednesdays at the Wesley House
Contact Rusty Teeter
Alpha is a non-pressure, information and discussion group about the basics of Christianity. Do you have questions about what Christianity is? Is it boring? Irrelevant? Untrue? We will discuss these and other questions such as who is Jesus why did he have to die, how and why do I read the Bible, etc. This is a perfect group for someone that wants to understand the basics of Christianity. It is also ideal for someone who is wanting to learn about Christianity for the first time or may be trying to recapture a relationship with God that has seemed distant for some time.
Learning from John Wesley
12:00 Fridays at the Union Underground
Contact Rusty Teeter
John Wesley was the founder of the Methodist movement which led into the United Methodist Church. His actions, knowledge, and understanding of how God, scripture, and how humans interact with God form the basis of Wesley theology on which man of the beliefs and principles of the United Methodist Church are formed. Join me in this group as we read several foundational sermons by John Wesley (from the book John Wesley’s Sermons: An Anthology edited by Albert C. Outler) so that we can better understand this foundation and discuss how it applies to our lives.
MOW – Men of the Wesley
4:00 Fridays at the Wesley House
