The 3 Colors of Your Gifts
Pastor Becky will lead class members in helping them identify and develop their spiritual gifts. The class will begin Wednesday, May 7 at 6 p.m. and will meet in Room 23.
The book on which the class is based presents a holistic approach to the three dimensions of God's nature, for which the author has chosen the colors green, red, and blue. In addition to emphasizing the critical importance of using your gifts in an authentically trinitarian way, this book shows you where you most need to focus your energies in order to bring this kind of balance to your Christian service. The natural result will be increased effectiveness.
To sign up for this class, email Becky at rastephenson2012@yahoo.com.
The Year of the Bible
Pastor Dan will continue his "Year of the Bible" class, also on May 7 at 6 p.m. His class will meet in Room 21. The group reconvenes once St. James UMC restarts the preaching series on the Year of the Bible after Easter.
Pastor Dan will lead discussions about the biblical text that was preached the previous Sunday. If time allows, the group will discuss any particular verses brought up by class members. Please email Pastor Dan at dan@stjconnect.org to register.

The eight-week study begins on Wednesday, May 7. The class is from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Childcare will be provided. Here is a link to sign up.

"Why Am I So Busy?"
Have you ever asked that question? Have you ever tried to answer it? When we are so busy we miss out on seeing what God is doing in our lives or how God wants us to be present in the lives of others.
In this time of 5:30 p.m. on the first and third Wednesdays of each month from May through August, we will take time and slow down. We will read Scripture slowly and spend time in God's presence praying and just being.
If you long for some time to slow down your body and mind, please join Marianne Leventry in the Library at 5:30 p.m. on May 7 and 21, June 4 and 18, July 2 and 16, and August 6 and 20.
To register for this class, email Marianne at marianne@stjconnect.org.
