Adult Discipleship

Sunday School 9:45 - 10:45 AM

Take elevator or stairs to lower floor beneath the sanctuary. Meets in the room next to the elevator.

The Agape Class will start an 8 session study "Living Fully / Dying Well" focused on the needs of 50 to 70 year olds in the Wimberley Area. The sessions begin at 9:40 AM March 1, 2009.

"When we moved to Wimberley, we were sure we would need to visit San Marcos UMC to find a large church similar to the one we had been members of for over 25 years. We never got to San Marcos after visiting WUMC - the people were friendly and warm-hearted and the worship was meaningful! We had found a home. On our second visit Barbara Dawkins invited us to the Agape Class and we have been there ever since." - Jean and Gary Denney

For the past twenty years, he has been learning how to cope with a progressive form of heart disease. We will have Rev. Laura Merrill; Bill Cline, attorney; Karen Rust, Angels For Elders & Wimberley Senior Citizens Activities, Inc.; Diana Cuddeback, Heartlinks Director Family Hospice of Belleville, IL; and Jerri Roberts, Outreach Coordinator, Hope Hospice sharing expertise in their fields. Topics include biblical and social perspectives on age and growing older, which practical legal decisions are important for everyone, what happens when we die, and how we can live each day to the fullest---starting today.
