Greatminds is our mentoring program for elementary and middle school-aged kids from the Stonecrest Community. We plan to revise the program this year, focusing on special events for the kids instead of weekly meetings. Volunteers are urgently needed for this ministry. The schedule for the year will be flexible and hopefully you can find a time that works for you. For more information please contact Kim Arwood at barwood1@nc.rr.com or Lucinda in the church office.
The Pathfinders Sunday school class will begin a 4-week study of The Social Principles of the Methodist Church on September 11, led by Rev. Hal Bruen. Hal is a retired Methodist minister and everyone is invited to join the class. They meet in the Hyder House on Sunday mornings at 9:45 a.m.
Yoga anyone? Pleasant Grove will offer yoga classes starting Wednesday, September 14, through the month of December. They will alternate weekly on Wednesday and Thursday evenings starting at 6:30 p.m. The classes will meet in the Fellowship Hall – each session is $5 and will last approximately 50 minutes. No previous yoga experience is necessary. If you are interested, please contact Brandi Walker at brandi@creative-correspondence.com.
Our third Financial Peace University (FPU) class will start on Sunday, September 18, from 5:00 p.m.—7:00 p.m. FPU is a 13-week program that empowers and teaches you how to make the right decisions to achieve your financial goals through God’s plan for your life.
