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.

On Monday, September 14, Women of Faith will resume meeting monthly for Bible study in the CUMC library at 1:15 pm. For the upcoming program year, the group will delve into the book of Revelation on the second Monday of the month and meet for coffee fellowship at Big Apple Bagels, Grafton, on the 4th Monday at 9 am.

A “4th Monday” Summer Coffee, sponsored by Women of Faith, is planned for August 24 at 9:00 am at Barbara Ridgely's Saukville home. A pot of coffee will be ready, or BYO coffee, tea, smoothie, bakery, sandwich, or salad to enjoy. All women of the church are welcome to enjoy the fellowship and conversation. Please contact Barbara for directions to her home.

Women who would like to meet for coffee and shopping adventures at the Tuesday Farmer’s Market in Thiensville (look for the large sign on Green Bay Rd.) are invited to meet up in the village park pavilion on August 25 at 9:30 am. Please contact Barbara Ridgely if you would like to go on this outing.

Please contact Barbara Anne Ridgely if you have questions.

Men's Study Group - July Update

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.

Using William Barclay’s “Letters to Timothy, Titus, and Philemon” as a guide, the Men’s Study Group will be reading and discussing the letters to these lesser-known men. To distinguish these letters from the other Pauline letters these were written to individuals as opposed to communities or churches.  They are of a very personal nature and thus have been referred to as Pastoral Epistles.  The letters offer advice on the organization of th church and developing relationships within the church.   Regardless of the recipients, the Pauline letters have a similar formal presentation and were all most likely recorded and edited by a scribe.  
 
William Barclay, renowned Presbyterian minister and author served in a working-class church in Glasgow during the depression until the end of WW II.  During those years he became aware of the need to better communicate the books of the bible to “everyman”.  This was accomplished through his Daily Study Bible series which consists of over 40 volumes that have been translated into numerous languages. The Men’s group has frequently used these texts for their Thursday morning discussions.  
 
To reiterate our invitation, we ask men to join us at PJ Piper’s Pancake House Thursday mornings for coffee or breakfast at 7AM for discussion and camaraderie.  You may have heard it before: “try it, you’ll like it;” you would be surprised about what’s written in the bible through Barclay’s writings.
