Women of Faith
This group is for women who want to learn and grow in knowledge and understanding of themselves and others, deepen their faith, share their witness, and support one another through book study, discussion, and prayer.
Meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of each month at 1:15 p.m. in the church conference room from September until May.
Women of Faith members received the study book for the 2024-25 program year and will read Chapter One of Dr. Charles F. Stanley's When the Enemy Strikes, to prepare for the first monthly discussion at CUMC on September 9.
Women of Faith invites and welcomes all readers to join in monthly discussions of When the Enemy Strikes. Many are looking for answers in a rapidly changing, chaotic world. This Bible-based book coaches us in ways to protect ourselves and respond in fear-filled times.
4th Monday Coffee: All women of the church and friends are invited to gather for an informal, BYO coffee time with conversation and fellowship that will take place at 9:15 a.m. on Monday, September 23, in the CUMC fireplace area or on the patio, if weather permits.
If you have a question, please contact Barbara Ridgely, who can order you a new or used study book at Amazon.com.
Men's Study Group
This group is for men who wish to develop fellowship with other faith-minded gentlemen. Religious-oriented books are often a topic of discussion but the group is primarily focused on camaraderie.
Meetings are held at 7:00 a.m. every Thursday at PJ Piper's Pancake House, W61 N514 Washington Avenue, Cedarburg. Coffee and/or breakfast is optional but discussion is not.
The Men’s Discussion Group has chosen to study and discuss William Barclay’s “Acts of the Apostles” “What Acts aims to do," says Dr. Barclay in this important volume, "is to give us a series of typical exploits and adventures of the great heroic figures of the early Church. Although the book never says so, from the earliest times Luke has been held to be its writer.” He wrote both his Gospel and Acts for the principal purpose of showing how the new faith that began so humbly in Palestine had expanded. Dr. Barclay discusses the plan in Acts, Luke's skill as a historian, the accuracy of his sources, and the honesty with which he used them.
Dr Barclay, a world-renowned Scottish New Testament interpreter, was noted as a profound scholar and an extraordinary writer. He studied at the University of Glasgow and at Marburg University, Germany. He was the minister of Trinity Church, Renfrew, Scotland, and later, Professor of Divinity and Biblical Criticism at the University of Glasgow.
We invite all men to join us Thursday mornings as we gain unique insights and little-known information about the characters and beginnings of the early Church. We meet at PJ Piper Pancake House in Cedarburg at 7:00 a.m. for breakfast or just coffee. Get into the “Acts” by joining us for discussion and comradery.
Care Connectors
Care Connectors continue to serve our homebound and limited mobility members by arranging communion, home visits, or calls. If you know of someone who needs a connection to care, please let Pastor Kyabuntu know.
The Church Gals
We will be meeting for lunch at the Flipside Cafe & Grill in Grafton on Tuesday, September 17, at 11:30 a.m. Please sign up on the kiosk in Fellowship Hall or let Randy Pierce know if you plan to attend no later than September 15.
Carpool with a friend or two, drive on your own, or let me know if you need a ride. Open to all women 18 and older.
A couple of other outings that are pending include:
A visit to Shalom Zoo. We are hoping to schedule to schedule this in September but are holding off until we know the expected weather. It's open to all people 18 and over.
An autumn train ride in East Troy in October. This is open to all, 18 and older. If we can guarantee 40 people I believe we can have our own train car. We can carpool to this.
Please watch for more information on these outings. Once dates are finalized, a sign-up sheet will be posted on the kiosk in Fellowship Hall.
