Adult Small Groups
“Light for the World”
An Advent Daily Devotional written by the people of Wesley Freedom is available now for pick up from the Welcome Desk. We invite you to join us in reading a scripture and reflection each day as we welcome the light of Christ to increase in our lives and our world. Our devotionals compliment our worship life during the four weeks of advent, the season of waiting and watching for Christ’s coming.

The Zoom link below is for the ongoing A*D*A*M men’s Bible study hybrid meeting, occurring every Tuesday from 6:30—7:30 pm Eastern, beginning Tuesday, January 24, 2023.
This group meets to read the Bible and discover its meaning – usually one chapter at a time.
This meeting is for anyone interested in learning more about the Bible and the stories it contains. All men from any faith (or no faith at all) are invited to attend. This class is intended to educate and inform rather than indoctrinate or coerce, and our aim is to learn rather than argue. Anyone may listen/watch.
The in-person portion of ADAM takes place at Wesley Freedom United Methodist Church – Wesley Freedom Google Map Pin. Attendance space is limited, but if you care to join in person, please confirm an open chair by emailing @Chapters Bible Study
The format of the meeting is to read at least one chapter of the Bible, out loud, and discover its meaning for ourselves. We do this through leader-lecture, discussion, and Q&A. We interpret what we read through three theological tenets (or lenses), which attendees may either question or confirm, depending on where they stand in their individual faith journey. To assist the newcomer, I have listed the tenets as questions one can ask oneself while listening to the Scripture being read:
Is God real? I mean, really, Really real? If so, is the Bible telling me the truth? Is Jesus who He says He is, and if so, how can I know Him?
Location: Room 201
Leader: Ben White (chaptersbiblestudy@gmail.com)
