Rejoice always,pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

A Wesleyan Way of Living:

Condemn no man for not thinking as you think. Let every one enjoy the full and free liberty of thinking for himself. Let every man use his own judgment, since every man must give an account of himself to God.

Quote of the Day:

We must pray without ceasing, in every occurrence and employment of our lives - that prayer which is rather a habit of lifting up the heart to God as in a constant communication with Him.

Elizabeth Ann Seton

Pastor Brandon will be offering Membership Classes to prospective and current members this week.

These classes will be 2 hours long and will cover the basics of United Methodist membership vows as well as discussion about what it means to be a Wesleyan Christian, baptism, communion and more!

If you are thinking about joining Cross Lanes United Methodist Church, then this is the class for you!

If you are thinking about transferring from another church, United Methodist or other denomination, this is the class for you!

If you have been a member of Cross Lanes UMC for a while and want to brush up on all things United Methodist, this is also the class for you.

I have done several of these classes over the years and they have always proven to be wonderful experiences in which all involved learned and grew closer to each other.

I hope you will consider joining me and others for this opportunity to learn and consider your membership here at Cross Lanes United Methodist Church!
