STEP
2012
Join us over the next 8 weeks for a season of listening to God and of taking steps towards becoming a more deeply devoted disciple of Jesus Christ. Each week through worship we will explore in imaginative ways the ancient practices that have brought real life to Christians and transformed lives. This path of discipleship needs to be reexamined as we grow. Along the way you will have opportunities to listen to God and to respond. We’re confident that God has something better in store for us all - Real Life that only a growing relationship with Christ can bring! Take our 8-Question Survey! We’d like to know more about the current spiritual vitality of our congregation. Go to www.bumc.net/sermonseries and click on the link to fill out a very short 8-question survey (it will only take 2-3 minutes). Your anonymous feedback will help us assess how we can better grow in Christ together in the weeks ahead.
