In the Fall, the Free Methodist Church adult education classes (Encounter) focused on God being with us in the mess of our lives-- in trauma, addiction, grief, mental health challenges, and loss. This Spring we will be focusing on how God is not only with us in the mess He is also with us in the joys of life. His presence and Spirit can be found in  friendship, marriage, forgiveness, play, and pilgrimage. As we seek to honor and reflect on God’s presence in the hardships AND the joys we invite you to join us in exploration, reflection and praise this Spring.  

All are welcome to attend 2 upcoming classes on “Marriage and Forgiveness”. Forgiveness for both small and big issues is key to healthy marriage - but not easy to do without God’s help. Our teachers are Dr. Denny Wayman, pastoral counselor, and Cheryl Wayman, retired marriage & family therapist, who speak from both professional and their personal experience of 50 years of marriage.

We will meet in the upper room of the Free Methodist Church from 10:15-11am on Sundays Feb. 12 and 19. If you need childcare, please reach out to childcare@fmcsb.org.
