Sunday School and Beyond
The North Georgia Conference of The United Methodist Church presents:
Our Journey of Hope
August 15, 2009 - Peachtree City UMC
Peachtree City, GA
Annual Christian Education Event
Sunday School & Beyond
“Our Journey of Hope” is the 24th Sunday School and Beyond event, equipping laity and pastors to provide quality Christian Education in the local church. Over time, much about Christian education has changed and now goes far beyond Sunday School to include weekday youth groups and children’s
ministries, and small groups meeting in homes and informally at the church, as well as Bible studies in community locations and more.
To reinvigorate The United Methodist Church, a movement has been set in motion to sharpen our mission and direct critical aspects of our ministry together as a church rooted in the Wesleyan tradition. The movement creates four areas of focus:
• Developing principled Christian leaders for the church and the world
• Engaging in ministry with the poor
• Creating new places to worship for new people and renewing existing congregations
• Stamping out the killer diseases of poverty by improving health globally.
This event explores the first two areas and offers a path for United Methodists to fulfill their mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
