Journey 201: A Disciple’s Path
This will be the expanded 6-week class based on Journey 101, which took place several months ago.

Whether you know everything or nothing about the United Methodist Church (and its methods), come out for this insightful study to build your faith and relationship with God. It will also be a great way to get to know others within the church who might not attend the same worship service you do. It will take place on Tuesday nights: August 13 – September 24.
