There are small groups called Christ Care groups. People gather together to share their life stories and faith journey. They pray for each other and celebrate joys and do ministries together.<\/span><\/p>

If you want to socialize, learn more about the Bible, need to stretch-exercise more, learn health tips, want to meet new friends, and reach out in mission, then ChristCare Group welcomes you.<\/span><\/p>

You don’t have to be a member of the church, just want to build new relationships.<\/span><\/p>

We normally meet 10:15~12:00 on first and third Fridays each month in Sherrill Hall.<\/span><\/p>

Everyone is welcome.<\/span><\/p>

Try us, you’ll like it!\u00a0Contact Jim McGuire, 935-2077, for further information.<\/span><\/p>

In case you are wondering what that title stands for I will take the time to explain. We are a ChristCare Group which meets the first and third Sundays of the month in Fireside Room., after church at 11:15 to pray to laugh, to lift up each other and support one another, to look at the Bible more closely and apply it to our everyday lives.<\/span><\/p>

We started with ten in our group and over the past year we have lost half of our group, do to moving, death, etc. So we are open to having new people come into our group and enjoy the benefits of what walking with Christ offers. We haven’t met regularly through the summer because it is a busy time with vacations, etc.<\/span><\/p>

This is a confidential group, so things are not for everyone to know. Please come join us and be energized through our Lord and Savior. God Bless, ChristCare Leader, Betsy McLeod<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Earlier this year CUMC had a group that focused on navigating the challenges of grief. We will be starting up a new group with the same focus but using a program called GriefShare. It is a 13 week program that you can join anytime.<\/span><\/p>

The program is designed to provide people who each grieve differently with helpful tools that will strengthen them for their own grief journeys, and to foster healthy relationships among those who are grieving together, in an effort to create a Christian support system built of individuals who understand the pain.<\/span><\/p>

Fridays, from 2pm-4pm in the Chapel<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What Is United Methodist Women?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

United Methodist Women is the largest denominational faith organization for women with approximately 800,000 members whose mission is fostering spiritual growth, developing leaders and advocating for justice.<\/span><\/p>\n

United Methodist Women is the organized group of women in each congregation who study local and global mission issues. The women organized in congregations are referred to as units of United Methodist Women. A unit may have smaller groups referred to as “circles”. They respond to what they learn through prayer, service, advocacy and raising funds in response to the needs they encounter locally and abroad. <\/span>Here at the Concord United Methodist Church we have two such circles:<\/p>\n
