DISCIPLE BIBLE STUDY

What’s Ahead

Beginning this Monday, Sept. 12th at 6:30 p.m.

Contact: Pastor George (glumpkin59@gmail.com) Cost: None Led by George and Brenda Lumpkin, Disciple is a 34 week journey through the biblical story from Genesis to Revelation. Though Disciple does not cover every book or verse in the Bible, it does explore all the major themes. It is designed to be transformational, not just informative. This study focuses on not just becoming a learner, but even more on going deeper as a believer and follower of Jesus Christ. So, are you ready for an amazing journey? Please prayerfully consider this opportunity.

To register, contact Pastor George

Please join us for light fare after the late service, provided by the CDC Board.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM TRAINING Saturday, September 24th from 8 a.m.– 4:30 p.m., Fellowship Hall Contact: Judy Hutcherson (judybhutch@yahoo.com) Cost: $15 (includes lunch, t-shirt, nametag and background check) Fredericksburg UMC is hosting a United Methodist Committee on Relief "Early Response Team" training. Our Missions Committee is funding half the cost through a scholarship (refunded after registration). Early Response Teams (ERT) are specially trained teams that offer assistance soon after a disaster strikes. They generally do cleanup work and tasks required to stop further damage from being done, e.g. putting tarps on damaged roofs. They might do minor repairs that help make homes habitable, but they do not do extensive repairs or reconstruction. This training is required for anyone hoping to help soon in Louisiana. Register and learn more at http://riotexas.org/early-response-team.
