The
Upper Room Disciplines Study Groups in 2007-8
A message from Rev. Howard Hockenbury Currently there are 23 adults who are striving to mature in Christ in one of two small groups meeting weekly at Atlanta Bread. Participants meet to extend support to one another while reflecting on the scriptures and daily devotions developed around The Revised Common Lectionary included in The Upper Room Disciplines 2007 devotional. Rev Howard Hockenbury serves as the resource person and convener giving oversight to the care and development of these study groups Even though participants come primarily from Bluffton UMC and Church of the Palms UMC, these groups are open to anyone, regardless of local church affiliation, who is interested in exploring the value of daily devotions with weekly group reflection. It has become a setting for mutual support and spiritual enrichment. The groups are open-ended, but you may enter in or out of the weekly sessions depending upon your particular life situation at the time. Each session includes the following process:
Visitors are welcome to attend one of the sessions and explore for themselves, on a trial basis, its benefits for their lives. These groups will be starting their third year of operation in September. The Monday morning group meets weekly from 10-11:30 am at Atlanta Bread beginning on September 10th. The Tuesday evening group meets weekly from 7-8:30 pm at Atlanta Bread beginning on September 11th. |
