WUMC Weekly Update: April 6, 2010
New Adult Class Offering:
A Study using the book,

the Message and Mission
of Jesus, by Michael Slaughter,
will be offered twice a week
between Easter and Pentecost.
The Wednesday evening class, beginning
April 7, will be taught by Cyndy Garn. The
Sunday morning class, taught by Jim Heilman,
will begin this Sunday, April 11.

The Good Sense Budget Course (GSBC) will
be offered starting on Sunday, April 18, at 10:10
am, in the Staff Lounge (off the Commons).
Taught by Tony Konecny and Jeri Seabaugh, the
class will be limited to 16 people, and there is a
cost of $15 per person for the book. There is pre
-work that needs to be completed. Couples are
welcome to attend, but they each need to
purchase a book. The class is likely to extend
past the start of the Emerge Service each week

again at an earlier start time so that Emerge
attenders can participate in GSBC. Books for this
class are available now in the church office!
