Christian Believer is part of the Disciple Bible Studies, and focuses on classical teachings of the Christian faith—presenting, explaining, and interpreting them in a way that we can understand, using words, symbols, and hymns. This class lasts 30 weeks with breaks for holidays. It is for women of all ages and will be led by Megan Cann and Rev. Kathy Brockman. Register HERE!

As we seek to move outside the walls of Dunwoody UMC in service to others and welcoming them into our faith community, we know that we will find people who don’t look or talk like we do. In order to be prepared for the future, we will take a look at what is termed implicit bias. Implicit bias is described as having attitudes towards people or associating stereotypes with them without our conscious knowledge. There are many examples of this in our daily world and we do it without even thinking about it, therefore the term “implicit.” Join us for a four week study on what implicit bias is, how we recognize it in ourselves, and what we can do to transform it.

We identified Four Core Values as a church to help us live into our long-term vision. They are Seeking Christ, Showing Love, Serving Big, and Sharing More. Each value will be preached on in worship with the opportunity to have further discussion during this five-week small group. The fifth week will be a time of visioning. Join us for conversations facilitated by Rev. Garrett Wallace, Rev. Calissa Dauterman, and Dr. Phil Schroeder.  Register HERE!

Join Dr. Ebby Arnold of the Candler Foundry for a study on the Book of Philippians. In this four-week course, we discover Paul’s special relationship with a church he loved—Philippi. Topics we will explore in this letter include: the role of suffering in the life of believers, the communal identity of Jesus-followers, and the wise use of role models and examples. Above all, the course looks to understand the complete paradigm shift that believers undergo, living in the same world as before but according to a completely different story. Register HERE!

Join us for discussion on Diana Butler Bass’ book, Grateful: The Subversive Power of Giving Thanks. During our time, we will consider why gratitude seems to missing as a spiritual practice, look at suggestions for reclaiming it as one, and see how both an individual and communal practice of gratitude can evolve to a greater connection with God, the world, and our selves. The cost is $15. Register HERE!
