Life Together in the United Methodist
Connection
Many people may be confused as to what polityis. This class will
help newcomers to the United
Methodist Church get their bearings. It will help
longtime members consider the specific
structural challenges that the church faces in the
21stcentury. Participants must obtain or have
access to a copy of the 2012 United Methodist
book of Discipline. Any other book(s) will be
noted when you are confirmed for the class.
Let the Whole Church Say Amen
Prayer is something we learn; it is something that can
be taught. For many, however, the only teaching about
prayer they ever receive is modeled in Sunday worship.
As a church leader, you may find yourself the one
leading prayer in worship services, as well as in other
settings. It is vital then that you are knowledgeable
and lead well. This course may challenge some of your
assumptions, test some of your preconceived ideas,
stretch your thinking and enrich your prayer life. It
will, at the very least, present you with an opportunityto grow
in the discipline of leading public prayer.
Participants must obtain the book Let the WholeChurch Say Amen
by Laurence Hull Stookey
