Education and spiritual formation is conducted in small groups at New Beginnings UMC and provide groups of all ages the opportunity and means to know Jesus more clearly, love God more dearly, and work with the Holy Spirit more easily.
February 2018 to Present
Join our small group each Monday at 10 AM. The Wesley class model is designed to require an intimate and personal accounting of the state of one’s spirituality. If you are ready to engage in regular prayer and want to grow in spiritual intimacy, this class is for you. The model is simple, but not simplistic. Meet weekly in a small group and share your answers to these four questions.
- Where did you see God in the past week?
- How have you responded?
- What have you done for your neighbor this week?
- What have you done for your church this week?
Move forward in your spiritual journey as you share the intimate details of your spiritual life and receive encouragement and counsel along the way. The meeting is held at 265 Main Street, Townsend MA.
