A Bible study that was agreed upon for our first study in 2026 is: “Thrive: Living Faithfully in Difficult Times.” This study based on the book of James is a six week study by Jennifer Cowart to help women develop the habits and attitudes to thrive whatever the circumstances. The book of James is a letter written about enduring hardships using six traits: Endurance, Wisdom, Action, Control, Humility, and Prayer. It is designed differently with daily lessons for about 5 days a week with questions in the workbook for you to answer. The days we gather will be much the same with a 8-13 min DVD and discussion questions from a leader book. The participants workbook if we order from Cokesbury is listed for $12.99 each. The workbook can be purchased on Amazon for $13.49. There is also a kindle version listed on Amazon. *The date we begin will depend on when we can get books… Please RSVP if you wish to attend and how you plan to get your book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6564ce60d8fc0b14f110ea13/fa84ff33-9871-4405-9c0e-9d9b59b143e1/Open+Door+Logo.png Events and Thoughts - Church Happenings - Week of 12/30/25 - Glendale UMC will be volunteering with The Open Door Food Pantry Next volunteer opportunity is January 14th at Eagle Ridge Middle School, located at 13955 Glendale Road, Savage, MN.
