New Year, New Study

The Satanta United Methodist Church’s 21st Time Class invites you to join them in a six-session DVD-based study of Pastor Mike Slaughter’s book Change the World: Recovering the Message and Mission of Jesus. The study, beginning Sunday, January 8, will be held during the Sunday-school hour (at 9:45 a.m.) and will be led by Kelvin Heitmann. The course’s content “challenges church leaders to look at the future of their congregations and make tough but necessary choices,” centering on four primary questions:

• Will you send the church out into the world, or to attract the world into the church?

• Will you focus on building disciples or tallying decision?

• Will you multiply your impact or expand your facilities?

• Will you step out in courage or comply with the status quo?

According to Slaughter, “The answers to these and other questions determine how a church will focus its time, its energy, and its budget to work for real change in a hurting world.” All are welcome to join in the discussion.
