ADULT FAITH FORMATION GROUPS
SUMMER BIBLE STUDY 2020 Simply Jesus with N.T. Wright
Simply Jesus: A New Vision of Who He Was, What He Did, and Why He MattersJoin us for an online Bible study with one of the world’s leading Bible scholars, N.T. (Tom) Wright. The book review source Booklist says this of Simply Jesus:
“Wright patiently explains the worldview that Jesus steps into, how his
parables point to his mission, and, finally, what this truth means in today’s world. [His] direct style, reminiscent of C.S. Lewis’s writings, invites readers in . . . .”
The study will include video lectures by N.T. Wright with group discussion through Zoom. The book, Simply Jesus by N.T. Wright and published by Harper One, is available from Amazon. If you need any assistance with ordering a book, please contact the church office at (707)678-2191 or dixonumc@att.net.

WEEK DAY SMALL GROUP OPPORTUNITIES:
WESLEYAN FELLOWSHIP GROUPS
These are small groups of four to five people, who will be encouraging one another in a life of faith. The groups work together over a period of two years engaging in spiritual reflection and developing lives of service and generosity. Wesleyan Fellowship groups are for those who have completed an in-depth Bible Study (such as Disciple) and are ready for a new type of faith formation experience.
Groups determine their own study focus and meeting times.
