We have several men’s groups at Embry Hills UMC that enjoy fellowship and service in our community. Every other week a group of men meet for breakfast at various restaurants around town to pray and keep up with one another. In the evenings there is a men’s study group that use a variety of materials to discuss modern issues facing men and their faith. All are welcome to join and be a part of building one another up in a judgment-free environment. For more information please contact Rev. Dr. Jordan Thrasher.
This small prayer group meets via Zoom on Wednesdays at noon for about 45 minutes. There is shared liturgy, personal and communal prayers, and silent reflective prayer. Each week participants are able to volunteer to participate in various ways. This is a time for both prayer and reflection in the middle of our busy weeks, and the prayer concerns shared are both personal and global in nature. If interested, please contact Kim Hepler who will share the Zoom invite. We would love to have you join us.
All are welcome to enjoy fellowship with friends, old and new, during a catered meal following a short program every second Tuesday of every even numbered month. Programs vary from theology to history to music to traveling. For more information, please contact Hugh Dance.
