“Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call for the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned,

he will be forgiven.” James 5: 13-15

DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES

DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY TEAM MEETING

11:00AM @ A.P. Shaw Campus – Saturday, July 14, 2018

The Discipleship Ministry exists to invite people to be transformed as they are inspired and challenged to know and experience God and to live as Christian Disciples.

Areas of Ministry: Bible Institute: Academic Year Bible Study, Short-term Bible Study, Small Group Bible Study, Vacation Bible School, Teachers, and Spiritual Gifts

If you are interested in being a part of any area of these ministries, please contact

Team Leader, Wesley Jackson or attend any of the ministry meetings.

—“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing

to God-this is your spiritual act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be

transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is --his good,

pleasing and perfect will.” — ROMAN 12: 1 AND 2 (NIV)


CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR GRADUATES Sunday, June 10, 2017 – During 11:00AM Service

Baptism by water is an act a born again believer chooses to do in obedience to Christ’s

command, following His example. It symbolizes both death and resurrection. It is an outward

sign or manifestation of their salvation experience and testimony of their new life in Christ to

those who witness their baptism. It symbolizes their “death to self” and rebirth in Jesus

Christ. When a person is immersed in water during baptism, they should see their old nature

as being dead, buried and gone. When they are raised out of the water, they should see

themselves raised up as a new creation, with a brand new life, having a desire to live

in obedience to Christ, their Lord and Savior. In other words, one’s baptism is the outward

sign/manifestation that they are now dead to sin and alive to God (Romans 6:11-13).

Baptism by immersion is one of the ways United Methodists baptize. The other two are

sprinkling and pouring.

BRIGHTER DAY DISCIPLESHIP

MINISTRY

INVITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR

SUNDAY MORNING

BIBLE STUDY CLASS

Discipleship Ministry extends this Invitation to you to

come out and join us as we discover more of the

Person and Knowledge of this Great and Powerful

God who loves us so much that He gave us His Only

Son Jesus Christ to pay for our sins to make us His

people.

Jesus told us to learn of Him, and that comes through

studying His Word. God has placed in His Body

Teachers, and these Teachers have made

themselves available to us on Sunday mornings at

9:30AM at the A.P. Shaw (East) Campus) to teach

these Adult Bible Classes.

The lessons taught from Sunday to Sunday have

been so relevant. The Teachers have explained how

these lessons apply to life today. The many

questions that have been asked from the members

have been answered with satisfactory answers. We

can never hear too much of God's Word, “for faith

comes from hearing -- and hearing the Word of God.”

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday morning!

These are the Scriptures we are studying during the

month of July:

July 1, 2018 – Matthew 18:21-35

July 8,, 2018 – Matthew 23:1-4, 23-26

July 15, 2018 – Luke 18:1-8
