Our next Wednesday night study begins January 10 with a gathering time to get acquainted and to look ahead. Then the actual study of On Purpose begins on January 17 and goes through February 7. The class will be co-led by Rev. Sam McGlothlin, Brian Sigmon, Rachael Jorstad, and Judy Wooldridge.

Pastor Sam joined with Magrey deVega, Jevon Caldwell-Gross, and Susan Robb to write On Purpose: Finding God’s Voice in Your Passion which was released in 2023. This book helps us see God’s purpose for our lives, points us to how we can open ourselves to God’s voice, and directs us in how to take the first or next step in following God’s call. The timeliness of this book is evident when we consider how hungry we are for a sense of purpose, direction, and calling in our lives no matter how young or how old we are. 

If you are looking for how to be part of something greater than yourself or to join in something that has eternal merit and lasting impact or if you want to move beyond a shallow or hollow existence to deeper meaning and purpose, this study may be for you. Email Pastor Sam, sam@bellemeadeumc.org to register. Books can be purchased on Amazon or Cokesbury, or there is 1 available for checkout in our Church Library.
