Welcome!

Beginning Wednesday night, January 7, at 6:00 PM, Mark Hagewood will be leading a 6-week study called "The Grace of Les Miserables" based on the book by Matt Rawle. If you've read the Victor Hugo book, attended the Broadway musical, or watched the movie, you know what a powerful story this is. The study will look at six ideals found in the story—grace, justice, poverty, revolution, love, and hope—each represented by a character in Hugo’s story. Week one will be on Zoom, and the rest of the study will be in person as part of our Wednesday Night Together activities. There is an optional companion book you can order here. In addition to our study, we are exploring interest in taking a group trip to TPAC to see the touring production of "Les Misérables" on Sunday, January 25 at 6:30 PM. Please email Mark Hagewood, markfhagewood@gmail.com, by December 29 to reserve a ticket to the musical and/or get the Zoom link for the first week of the study. Come find out what happens when grace and justice collide!

Beginning Wednesday night, January 7, at 6:00 PM, Dr. Kinny Cosner, Rev. Sam McGlothlin, and Rachel Hagewood will be leading a 6-week study using the book Soul Reset by Junius B. Dotson. Soul Reset is a companion course to our January Sermon Series Holy Habits. The book explores how kingdom work requires a balance of work, rest, play, worship, exercise, and eating well - spiritual practices that keep our souls hydrated and healthy as we do the work of the church in the world. Week one will be on Zoom and the rest of the study will be in person as part of our Wednesday Night Together activities. Please read the first chapter by January 7, as there are daily spiritual practices that will begin after the first class. You can purchase the book here. We will also break into small groups to get to know one another better and share our experiences of keeping the daily practices for six weeks. To sign up, email Pastor Sam, sam@bellemeadeumc.org.
