Your Faith Journey 4

The suggestions below are designed to help you focus on a few of the key commitments needed for a healthy faith journey.
1. Worship – Plan to join us for the Big Game Sunday (2/4) worship services and wear your favorite team gear! Invite a friend, family member, co-worker, or neighbor to join you here at AUMC next Sunday morning!
2. Connect – Take the next step by Connecting with others and Growing spiritually as part of a short-term small group during Lent (February – March). Sign up at the Welcome Desk by the Sanctuary.
3. Develop – Consider setting aside a time and place to pray and read scripture each day. If you don’t have a devotional (Bible reading and prayer guide), you can use The Upper Room or Our Daily Bread daily devotional to help guide you. The devotionals are available online for FREE at UpperRoom.org and ODB.org. Printed copies can be found by the rear door of the Chapel on the back table in the Narthex for a $1. YouVersion Bible App for your smartphone is another great FREE resource!
