Sunday Morning Groups
**No registration is necessary for Sunday morning groups. Participants should contact the leader listed for the Zoom link if they choose to attend remotely.**
“ADVENT IN PLAIN SIGHT” (HYBRID)
This is a 6-week option for adults and high school youth beginning November 14 at 9:45 am each Sunday morning. Advent encourages us to reflect on the promises of God as we wait for the coming of the Christ Child. Rev. Jill Duffield’s new book, “Advent in Plain Sight” draws readers’ attention to ten ordinary objects, prompting them to see the near kingdom of heaven on earth and ponder what that divine proximity enables and asks them to do and be. Join us as we walk through Advent together in this unique way. Please email Karen Bonds for the hybrid link.

Disciple is a program of disciplined Bible study aimed at developing strong Christian leaders. The study gives the Old and New Testaments equal time, emphasizing the wholeness of the Bible as a revelation of God. Disciple draws upon the work of scholars, the personal Bible reading and study of the participant, and dynamic group discussion to aid understanding of the Bible. The first study in the program is Disciple: Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study, a 34-week overview of the entire Bible.

MONDAY MUSINGS WITH MATT
Have you ever had a question Sunday afternoon about the morning’s sermon? Felt like you wanted to dig a little deeper into the scripture? Maybe even thought the preacher missed the main point altogether? The best sermons should be the beginning of a conversation about the gospel, so Dr. Rich wants to give you a chance to “talk back” each week. Come just once or every week with your questions, your thoughts, and a cup of coffee for conversation about and study of Sunday’s sermon and scripture texts. No registration is necessary. Drop-in any week.
Facilitator: Rev. Dr. Matt Rich – mrich@unityfortmill.org
Meets: Mondays, Historic Sanctuary, October -May, 10:00 – 11:00 AM
For more information, contact Kathryn McGregor at KMcGregor@UnityFortMill.org or 803-547-5543.
