The Method of Jesus, the Method of the Methodists

As we begin to emerge into something a little more “normal,” we start making decisions about what we will do and what we won’t do. For many, church life is an unnecessary hindrance. For us, who are gathered in person and online, church is a necessity. With everything we can do in our church life, though, help us to see how important simple gatherings in small groups are. Jesus began his ministry by gathering a small group of disciples, and he stayed with them to the end. Help us make our groups the central focus of making disciples, of growing together, of experiencing salvation. We ask for our sake, and for the sake of the kingdom of heaven, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
