Ever since the days of John Wesley (well actually since the time of Jesus… He lead a “small group” of 12…), small groups have been an essential part of the life in the church.\u00a0 Yes, we meet on Sundays for worship, but it’s in those smaller conversations where we experience the support that helps us grow closer to Christ.\u00a0<\/p>\n
PUMC has\u00a0 always plugged into the power of Small Groups.\u00a0 “Small Groups” come in a variety of sizes, ages and interests, but they all work to bring us closer to Christ by applying God’s Word to our lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We currently have several Small Group Bible studies for a variety of ages; anywhere from pre-school through seniors.\u00a0 Some of them meet during the Sunday School hour, but many meet during the week.\u00a0 Some meet in the church building, others meet in homes.\u00a0 Last year, one group traveled to a different restaurant in Philadelphia once a week to sample a variety of dining experiences (while sharing some Biblically Based after meal discussions).\u00a0 This year, there’s a group that meets in a woodshop to learn carpentry skills, while learning more about The Carpenter (Jesus).\u00a0 Other groups sing, one group knits.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
