AHUMC
provides many different ministry opportunities.
These opportunities include: serving in the church, serving in the
community, serving many, serving a few. Although, these ministries have various
shapes, sizes and goals in mind, the one thread that ties them all together is
Kingdom building through serving God.
A
ministry I have been blessed to be a part of for the past 4 years is Disciple Bible
Study.
What
does Disciple Bible Study look like? It
is a curriculum written by the United Methodist Church that consists of five,
nine month sessions. Meeting once a week for 2 hours, Disciple includes the
viewing of a video lesson, reflection of notes from our workbook, a review and
discussion of the assigned daily Scripture readings and prayer time. Not every
ministry provided by AHUMC is for everyone.
I certainly know that I have no business getting involved with anything
that requires singing in the Choir or playing a musical instrument!
Because Disciple Bible Study is a nine month
commitment, it doesn’t work with everyone's schedules. However, for those who have participated, for
one year or for multiple years, I am sure they would say that they have gained
new friendships, heard different perspectives and interpretation of Scripture,
felt prayers answered and, most importantly, drawn closer to God. I know I
have!
OUR
church has many programs that allow you to get involved. Please prayerfully
consider the many ways that you can become a part of AHUMC’S vibrant ministry. Who
knows? Maybe we will see each other in Disciple Bible Study. I hope so
