Gather
A church isn’t just a building, it’s a body of believers who talk, laugh, eat, serve, and support each other through the ups and downs of life. Check out the many different ways we offer to do just that!
Nourish
1 Saturday per month from 4:30-6:30 pm. Next meeting is May 4 (no meeting in April).
DUMC’s Worship & Youth Center
Current Study: “The Good Life” by Dr. Derwin L. Gray
Nourish exists to nourish your body (with a potluck dinner) and your soul (with God’s Word). We will be looking at the Beatitudes that Jesus gave in His Sermon on the Mount and discussing how we can live “the good life” by striving to make them the rhythm of our lives.
We hope that you will join Pastor Paul and Elise on the first Saturday of each month (unless otherwise noted) for this nourishing small group.
Open to everyone. Families welcome. Childcare provided.

Wesley Class (Adult Sunday School class)
Sunday mornings from 9:00-10:00 am
DUMC’s Room 2
Current Study: “Luke” by Adam Hamilton
The Wesley Class has nine teachers who lead the class, each doing so for one month at a time. The first 15-minutes are spent in fellowship, followed by 45-minutes of class study and discussion. We close with prayer concerns and The Lord’s Prayer. Wesley attendees have one social / fellowship event each month. Participants range in age from the 40s to the 90s, with high school and college students occasionally sitting in. Everyone is welcome!
Initially a couples group formed 40 years ago we have developed strong and cherished bonds navigating the joys and trials of parenthood together. We are now navigating the joys and trials of a later season in life and would love to have you be part of the journey. Please join us for Bible study and conversation on Sundays at 9:00 am and monthly social outings.

EXPLORERS
Monday evenings from 6:00-7:00 pm
DUMC’s Room 2 (Worship Center on 5/13)
Join us for a small group, open, round table discussion of religious (and maybe even “non-religious”) questions with various possible answers. This will be an open and safe space to share your thoughts, ideas, and differing points of view. The goal of these group discussions is not to necessarily identify absolute unequivocal answers, but rather to share differing points of view and broaden our own thoughts on topics of interest. Topics can be provided by the attendees or selected randomly from pre-prepared questions/statements. Everyone is welcome!

Book Discussion Group
4th Sunday of each month @ 4:00 pm (3:00 pm during the winter months)

The Book Discussion Group reads and discusses books that, while not overtly Christian, offer insight into the world as it exists. This helps us understand how to follow the teachings of Jesus in that world. In choosing titles, we attempt to include selections from diverse cultures, different points of view, and a variety of time periods. We welcome new members and are always open to suggestions for good books.

Lenten Soup Suppers
Wednesday evenings during Lent
6:00 pm (Soup Supper), 7:00 pm (Worship Service)
Each year, we host a series of Soup Suppers during the season of Lent. Beginning with Ash Wednesday and continuing for the following five weeks, we gather for a simple meal of soup, bread, coffe, and fruit, then join together in the Sanctuary for Worship. It takes the help of many volunteers to make this happen by providing pots of soup, helping with the set up, serving, or cleaning-up. All church members and friends are invited to join us as we prepare our hearts and minds for the Easter season.
For more info, please contact our church office @ 215-348-5224
