Come together at WNO for this 6-week, video-based study. This study provides us tools from the book of Philippians to transform our emotions, our outlook, and even our circumstances, by taking control of our minds. We can find freedom from the downward spiral by

• Taking every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ
• Shifting the focus of our minds from our circumstances to God
• Fighting toxic thoughts with weapons of humility, silence, and delight
• Escaping our comfort zones with weapons of connection, intentionality and gratitude
• Learning to forget what's behind so we can move ahead
• Defeating anxiety with a mind like Christ's

Leader: Ron Inabinett

Materials for this study will be available for purchase from John Wesley UMC during the first session.

Join this 6-session study of 1& 2 Kings on Thursday mornings to find the places of distrust in our hearts while exploring the deeply personal and applicable scriptures that teach us how to truly trust the goodness and faithfulness of God.

As moms, we’re under constant pressure. We have to get it right in all areas of life—work, home, family, and faith—because our children’s futures hinge on our ability to perfectly orchestrate the present.

But those impossible standards leave us oscillating between worry, fear, anger, and shame. They threaten to steal all the wonder from parenting, life, and our personal relationship with God.

In this 7-session study, discover how the gospel message can empower you to parent in the freedom of God’s sovereignty. So that you can breathe deeper, walk lighter, and enjoy your children—and the parenting journey—more than ever before.

• Thrive in what God has asked you to carry by abandoning all He hasn’t asked of you.
• Embrace your significance in your children’s lives in light of God’s sovereignty.
• Trust God with the children He has entrusted to you.
• Receive the Lord’s grace, so you can reflect that grace to your children.
• Learn to stop trying so hard, and allow yourself to simply enjoy your kids.

Join the Sunday Seminar during the Sunday School Hour at John Wesley UMC for discussion of Brian McLaren's text that proposes a new faith alternative, one built on "benevolence and solidarity rather than rivalry and hostility."

Join together as a congregation for this five-session video Bible study where participants explore the many gifts that Christ provided to us at his crucifixion: the gift of the cross, the gift of the thorns that pierced his brow, the nails that tore his flesh, the seamless robe that he removed for us, and the empty tomb where he forever defeated sin and death.
