Disciple Bible Study
The decision to take these 9 month intensive courses is not to be taken lightly; however, if you should decide to take this step, the experience will surely change your life. Here are just two of the many testimonials that have been received regarding the experience of taking these classes.
- "I have learned more than I had in 52 years regarding the contents and meaning of the Bible, and formed lasting relationships with others."
- "The study of the Bible itself has been intense. Plus, the interaction and learning with the others in the class has been a treasured experience."
Please indicate your interest in these classes in the Welcome Center. Specific dates and times for the classes will be based on the interest and needs of the participants.
Disciple I will be offered on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 , facilitated by Mark and Debbie Weatherman.
Disciple IV will be on Tuesday or Thursday evenings at 7:00 facilitated by Mitch McCrate.
Disciple II and III will be offered if there are enough participants.

The Last Word
Meets on Monday nights from 7:00-8:15 at Panera in Milford. The conversation begins on October 5th through November 9th. We will be discussing the themes of doubt, faith, heaven, hell and the grace of God. Brian McLaren bases the study on The Last Word and the Word after That. It is based on the New Kind of Christian trilogy. You can read the third book on its own but we recommend that you read the preceding two books first (A New Kind of Christian and The Story We Find Ourselves In). Scott Miller and Dave Metz are facilitating this conversation. For more information, e-mail Scott at rscottmiller1@aol.com.
Son-Rise, Bible Study For Men
Join us on Wednesday mornings 6:30-7:30 a.m. in Room UL 203, starting Sept. 30. For those needing a jolt of sugar and caffeine to jump-start their day, or just wanting some pre-study fellowship, coffee and doughnuts will be available at 6 a.m. We will view a webcast of Patrick Morley, from Man in the Mirror, talking about the week’s scripture, then discuss in small groups. Sign up in the Welcome Center. And bring a friend! Anyone can join at any time. For more information, contact Fred Thomas (253-9333, fredthomas65@gmail.com).
Ladies Bible Study
On Tuesday evenings from 7:00 – 8:30 a group of ladies meet at the Ohnmeis’ home to study I & II Corinthians. We “anchor and launch,” meaning that we are anchored in the books of I & II Corinthians, but we allow these letters to launch us into other topics. We don’t use a separate study guide – we let scripture substantiate scripture. In other words, if we want to understand something in the Bible, we look to see where else it’s explained – in the Bible. If you’re interested please call Angie Ohnmeis at 831-8877 for directions, etc.
YOGA
Thursdays at 6:00 starting Sept. 17, Raylene Gerber (a Yoga Alliance Teacher in Training) will offer yoga classes for all fitness levels at MUMC. The focus will be on basic yoga postures with an emphasis on proper alignment, body awareness and linking breathing with movement. Participants will learn simple meditations and relaxation techniques to calm the mind and release tension in their bodies. “On my mat, I find stillness, peace, and spiritual connections."
Cro-Knitting
The Cro-knitting group will meet on the first Monday of each Month. They will not meet in September so you may join them on Monday, October 5th at 7:30. For more info see Jennie Thomas.
