New Bible Study
We will meet the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays from 1:00–3:00 p.m. in the parlor, beginning September 2. Please enter through the church office entrance (Door A). Our Bible Study will be a 14-week study of 1, 2 & 3 John using the LifeChange NavPress Bible Study Series.
New Study with Pastor Kayla
Pastor Kayla will be leading another 3 week study titled "The Wesley Challenge." The study includes the 21 Questions that John Wesley used as a part of the early small group (band) meetings that started the holy spirit revival that made the Methodist Faith. Transformation begins when we pour into our spiritual lives, history proves evidence that when we invest in our spiritual growth, miraculous things happen! The book is set up as a 21 day devotional, great for personal use as well as group use. If you would like to facilitate a study of your own, please be in touch with Pastor Kayla, she is happy to help provide resources and training to help another study launch with success! When dates are selected, the sign-up sheet will be in the parlor. When books are available, please mark off you picked up your book.
At Grand Ledge United Methodist Church, we are passionate about nurturing the spiritual growth of our children and youth. We offer engaging ministries for youth in grades 5 through 12, where all are welcome to join us in learning, experiencing, and practicing Christianity. Our youth programs are designed to provide a well-rounded approach to Christian discipleship through meaningful service projects, worship gatherings, and fun-filled fellowship events. With a Christ-centered, Spirit-driven, family-friendly, and faith-equipping focus, we aim to create a supportive and enriching environment for young people to grow in their faith.
For more details, including the current schedule of activities, please visit our Children & Youth page.
OUR LOCAL SCHOOL WANTS US
All children need healthy, consistent relationships with adults who are committed to helping them grow, develop, and thrive. Our local public elementary school has asked us to come alongside parents, teachers, and others to invest in their students through one-on-one mentoring relationships. To love them as Christ loves us.
Will you serve our neighborhood school by mentoring a student?
KIDS HOPE USA EQUIPS US
Kids Hope USA is a national organization that equips partner churches like ours to send volunteer mentors to the local school. There, each mentor is matched with one student and commits to being another consistent, supportive, encouraging adult in their life.
Just as God shows up in the person of Jesus and loves us unconditionally, mentoring a student one-on-one allows us to share unconditional love with a child in need of support.
HOW IT WORKS
As a Kids Hope USA trained mentor, you'll spend one hour each week during the school day with a student-playing games, coloring, reading books, and talking. While you may complete some basic academic work, the focus of this time together is on building a meaningful relationship. You'll receive training and be matched with a behind-the-scenes prayer partner who will pray for you and your student.
GET INVOLVED
We are committed to serving the students, staff, and families at our partner school. Together, we can make a difference.
Visit kidshopeusa.org/volunteer or contact our church's Kids Hope USA program director for more information and sign up to be a mentor today!
At Grand Ledge United Methodist Church, we understand the critical importance of knowing how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED) in emergency situations. It's a skill that could make a life-saving difference. With our commitment to the safety and well-being of our community, we encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with AED operation. To support this, we've provided a helpful instructional video demonstrating the proper usage of an AED.
Let's equip ourselves with this knowledge, empowering each member to potentially save a life in an emergency.
The Worship Committee is looking for a volunteer to serve as Communion Steward.
We are looking for one or more persons to serve as Communion Stewards. Below is a description of what it involves:
Job Description:
Communion Stewards obtain and prepare the bread and juice for the congregation to participate in Holy Communion. Stewards prepare the altar, as needed before communion services. In addition to setting up for communion, stewards also clean up after communion is served at the 9:15 a.m. service. They may also be asked to assist the pastor in serving communion as needed depending upon the style of the service.
The communion steward will also prepare the communion boxes that morning for the Compassion Care Team to use to serve communion to our shut-ins.
Time Commitment:
Sundays, 8:45 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. [first Sunday of each month]
Preparation time prior to the actual service time. Attend training sessions if offered and Worship meetings when available.
