Addicted to Hurry - Spiritual Strategies for Slowing Down: Join Pastor Randy on a book study that debunks the "need for speed" mentality that so many people have embraced as a part of their everyday lives. This class is for anyone desiring to lead a more calm and satisfying life and a great gift for those who seem to be burning out from the frantic pace at work or at home. Begins Wednesday, January 11 at 6:30pm. Facilitated by Pastor Randy Martin
Who or What Sets Your Agenda? From a snake in a garden through a beastly number or mark, in our Bible there are always competing agendas. From early morning to evening, school, job, retirement, family, work, whatever, we have needs. Who or what determines our day? How are we to find fulfillment in our busy lives? While there may be no straight forward solutions, there may be ways for us to have God’s peace in a busy agenda. This Wednesday night discussion is offered in conjunction with our, “Addicted to Hurry,” sermon series. Facilitated by Pastor Paul Longmire
Victory Over the Darkness - Realizing the Power of Your Identity in Christ: So much of busyness is a quest to define ourselves by what we do. In this 8-week video study you'll learn how to realize the power of your identity in Christ, and free yourself from the chaos and burdens of daily life. Each week will include time for reflective worship, insightful teaching, group discussion and prayer. This study is a part of the DeltA series from Director of Christian Formation, Jim Lewis. Visit the DeltA Ministry page for more information.
Knitting, Quilting and Crochet: Relax with friends who love to Knit, quilt and crochet. Made up of both beginners and those with years of experience, this group enjoys spending time together, sharing patterns and talking about life. Additionally, many in the group have started a Prayer Shawl Ministry making shawls as gifts of comfort and support for various ministries. Coordinator: Bindy Lewis
Handbell Choir: The handbell choirs are dedicated to learning the ancient and honorable art of bell ringing. Handbells date back to 17th century England when locals gathered at a neighborhood pub to enjoy fellowship and make music with bells. Hixson UMC has one adult choir that plays a variety of Christian themed music at various times throughout the year for our Sanctuary worship services. Facilitated by Jeanne Sauer.
