Two
or three times a year, we offer something we call the
“Inquiry Class” to those who have indicated
interest in this church and might want to learn more
about it. We meet once a week for several weeks for
a time of free-flowing questions and discussion. It's
a good way to get to know several other people and to
ask questions about us and where we are going. At the
end of the time, those who wish to join the church formally
will be given an opportunity to do so as a group on
a Sunday morning. It's much nicer to do that together
than it is to take a lonely walk up the aisle at the
end of a church service!
We're
going to start the next Inquiry Class on Wednesday,
October 1. I hope that you will consider attending.
The evening will begin with a shared meal at 6:00 p.m.
in the Fellowship Hall. The meal is part of the Midweek
Miracle/LOGOS ministry that we are preparing to
launch when we move, so you will get to experience the
uniqueness of those meals. Everything is provided by
our LOGOS kitchen team, so there is no need to bring
anything. There is no charge for the meal, although
we are willing to take donations to cover the cost of
the food if you wish. After the meal, adults will come
upstairs to the Sanctuary with me while a team cares
for the children downstairs. The evening will end by
7:50 p.m.
Joe
Emerson, Liane MacMillan and I will be leading the question/answer
time for the adults. Joe is our Lay Leader and has been
an active member here for a long time. Liane is a new
member—she and her husband, Joel and their children,
Greta and Claudia, have been a part of the church for
about 16 months. Between the three of us, we can offer
multiple perspectives on the nature of Krum UMC. We'll
touch on United Methodist beliefs, church organization,
expectations of membership, plans for the future, and
any other questions that may come up.
So
please join us. You do not need to RSVP, but if you
do, it does help with meal planning. If you have any
questions, feel free to contact me. Office phone: 482-3482;
cell phone: 214-418-9541; email: christy@krumumc.org.
Looking
forward to seeing you,
