FREDERICK SCHOOL OF RELIGION CELEBRATES
On March 9, 2008, the Frederick School of Religion will celebrate 25 years of providing religious education with a program at Brook Hill United Methodist Church. This program, which begins at 3:00 p.m., will consist of liturgical dance, storytelling, and musical presentations, with a bit of history woven into the program. All of this will be followed by a time of fellowship and refreshments. So come to Brook Hill UMC, 8946 Indian Springs Road, at 3:00 p.m. on March 9 to help celebrate 25 years of discovery and growth. The Frederick School of Religion was started by a small group of volunteers and instructors in 1983. The organization has expanded such that this year it is able to present ten courses, covering topics such as some lost Christianities, basic Judaism, Sharia law, presidential politics and spiritual growth. This growth in offerings has been made possible through the support of many local faith communities as they hosted the School, provided members for the Board of Directors, and informed their congregations of each year’s courses.
The Plunge 2007
The WESTERN AREA REGIONAL OFFICE is offering training for Lay Leaders
and others interested in attending on March 29, 2008 at Otterbein
UMC in Hagerstown. The day begins at 9:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m.
Cost is $20/pp which includes a box lunch. If you are interested in
attending, note that space is limited so registration forms must be
received by March 25.
Yellow registration forms are located on the table outside the
sanctuary.
WOMEN'S SHARE GROUP
I would like to invite you to our home for a ten-week support/share group.
This will be a spiritual adventure
using the book - Becomers by Keith Miller. It is an easy to read book that
invites us to take a look at the
process of becoming the Christian that God wants us to become. This is not a
Bible study but will certainly
include scripture, prayers, and time for the women involved to support each
other. I don't know about you but so often, I find myself not taking the
time to “nourish my heart.” Being honest with other women about doubts,
questions and spiritual needs/joys are all apart of our journey together.
The Group runs February 2 through April 15th If you are interested, please
call Bonnie Connolly at 301-845-6356.
WALKERSVILLE SENIOR ENRICHMENT CENTER.
The Walkersville Seniors meet on Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Walkersville Town Hall. The Center offers exercise, music, crafts, games, and fellowship.
