New online Small group

These uncertain times have separated us physically from our church family, but we do not want them to separate us spiritually! We are gearing up to start a new online study group next week. We will be studying Max Lucado’s Anxious for Nothing. You will watch a short video each week (about 20 minutes) on your own, and then join in the group for a video discussion through Zoom. The study will last for 6 weeks  

and does require internet access from your home.


If interested in participating in this study, please email Marcy Kenny at

marcy@chapinumc.com by Friday, April 10th.


Anxious for Nothing by Max Lucado

If you need some more peace in your life, you are in the right place. With God as your helper, after walking through this study, you will sleep better and smile more. You'll

re-frame the way you face your fears. You'll learn how to talk yourself off the ledge, view bad news through the lens of sovereignty, discern the lies of Satan, and tell yourself the truth. You will discover a life characterized by calm and will develop tools for facing the onslaughts of anxiety. This much is sure: it is not God's will that you lead a life of perpetual anxiety or worry. So, let's learn more about how to step out of a life run by anxiety

and step into His presence--a life ruled by peace.

Let's journey through this together.


Small Groups

Small Groups are: 

A weekly gathering of people who meet in a home or here at the church that have fellowship, study the word, pray together, and are taking intentional steps toward Christ by providing opportunities for spiritual growth as they deepen their relationship with God.  


In a small group you will:

Understand the Bible better

Build new relationships

Experience life change!

 

“My faith, while tested, has gotten me through, and one of God’s greatest gifts on this journey has been my small group at church.”  -Andrew Aun, Chapin UMC member

 

“We have so loved and been blessed by our group. We were just discussing last night that many of us met for the first time 9 weeks ago and now we feel like family!  A true testament to the power and joy in authentic community!”

-Jan Mayo, Chapin UMC Small Group Leader

Church Wide Studies

Once or twice a year, we come together in both a sermon series and a church-wide study.  Small groups are formed specifically for these studies as well.  This allows us to connect and grow as we take a deeper dive into the Bible together.  Below are links to previous studies:  


Ephesians

Haggai

1 Thessalonians


Sunday School

We believe that Sunday morning Sunday School is a large and vital part of our Christian journey. 

The Sunday School hour runs from 10:10-11:10 and allows our church family to dig deep into the Word of God and build authentic, transformational relationships with one another. 

 

For updated information on Sunday School classes, please contact Marcy Kenny, 

Assimilation Minister at 345-2801 or

marcy@chapinumc.com and she will be glad to assist you! 

Seniors

Senior Adults are composed of the retired set who enjoy the monthly fun, fellowship and food gatherings. We meet on the fourth Wednesday of the month in room 206. The happenings start around 10:30 and end around 1:00 pm. Dress is casual and programs are varied. Community involvement is encouraged, so come and invite a friend! 

 

Singles are an active group from their 50's into their 80's. Our gathering spots vary from the church facility to member's homes to the lake! Cookouts, covered dishes and prepared meals have served us well! We usually meet the 4th Friday of the month at 6:00 pm, but the area agenda offers additional activities. Monthly post cards are mailed with each month's specific information. Come join us! Contact the church office at 345-2801 for an update on the CUMC Singles activities!
