Sunday Evenings in May and June
Sunday, May 11 6:00 PM
Sunday evenings in May and June will bring something new and a little different to Metropolitan. To begin with, we will meet in Fellowship Hall instead of the auditorium. Secondly, we will sit in small groups instead of in pews. Thirdly, we will emphasize discussion rather than listening to a sermon or message. Lastly, we will go deeper into the message presented in the morning worship service. This will provide an opportunity to talk with other believers about what Pastor Randy said in his morning message. We will ask such questions as: What truths were emphasized this morning? Is there other scripture that helps us understand more about that truth? What does that truth mean for Metropolitan today? What can I do this week to put that truth into action? How did I do in putting last week’s truth into action? We believe this will be a refreshing change from our normal Sunday evening format. So plan now to attend, think about and “go deeper” into the truths found in the book of Galatians.
