If you are a recent visitor or guest or attender or new member and want to get to know us better, here’s your opportunity. Beginning Sunday, November 8, we will launch an on-going series of classes for people like yourself who may be new to the church and want to know a little more about who Fountain City United Church is. We hope you will join us for these conversational sessions and that they will help you become a better disciple and a more active part of our ministry here. It will also be a great way to become better acquainted with others, including our staff.
There will be five different sessions, and you can “plug in” anytime you want to. You don’t have to participate in them in any particular order. What you miss on a particular Sunday will be repeated in five weeks. You can finish the sessions in five weeks or five months! The sessions will be these:
- How did we get here? A history of the United Methodist church and of Fountain City United Methodist Church.
- Who are United Methodists? A look at our doctrine, polity (form of government), Social Creed, etc. A popular question: “How do we get (rid of) our pastors?”
- Who Are These People We Keep Reading/ Hearing About? Meet the staff – or at least some of us – and some of our lay leaders.
- “Ask It Basket” for the Pastors. Ask them whatever you wish. For example, “Who really is the best Ping-Pong player?”
- How do I join and how can I serve? Profession of Faith? Transfer of membership? What does membership mean?
The natural progression would be in the order listed above, but you can “jump in” at any time. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with one of the pastors. The sessions will be held from 9:45—10:40 a.m. during the Sunday school hour in room 136.
