Journey to Christ: Becoming
Disciples at A & M United Methodist Church
What is the “Becoming Disciples” process? Jesus’ first disciples grew in
their understanding of him during their apprenticeship with him.
“Journey to Christ” offers Seekers a 12 week opportunity to expand their
understanding of who Jesus the Christ is and to enhance their
relationship with him. The process is characterized by the Seeker’s
growing ability to discern God’s activity and call in the events of
daily life. “Journey to Christ” is not a Bible study (although we will
reflect on a passage of scripture each week). It is more. It is engaging
in basic practices that will help one experience the fullness of who
Jesus is and how he invites us to live. It is purposely practicing the
basic “means of grace”: prayer, scripture study, worship, and service to
others. Contact the church office for information; 846-8731. |

Nothing but Nets
Every 30 seconds a child in Africa dies from Malaria. The
United Methodist church has partnered with Sports Illustrated,
NBA Cares, and the United Nations Foundation to raise money to purchase
bed nets for the people in Africa. Every $10 buys a net that a family
of 4 can sleep under protecting them from mosquitoes that carry
malaria. A&M United Methodist Church made this campaign a priority and
has had one fundraising event with the A&M basketball team and has other
events scheduled with both the A&M soccer team and volleyball team.
For questions regarding Nothing but Nets please
