GROWING THROUGH GRIEF -

“Growing through Grief” group is one of the ways.
You are invited to join us in Grant Hall from 7:30 to 9 pm,
for four Thursday evenings beginning February 2, 2012.

LENTEN DEVOTIONAL WRITERS NEEDED -

Yep, It is indeed that time of year again!
Each year, Hollywood United Methodist Church
produces our own Devotional Booklet
for the season of Lent.
This booklet is made up of short devotions
written by YOU, the members of our congregation.
Writers are provided with a scripture lesson
to meditate on and then write a
short (250—300 word) piece about.
This piece can be anything you feel,
from a poem, to a childhood memory,
to a funny story, to… well... anything at all,
as long as it fits on the page,
which means please no more than 350 words.
The deadline for submissions is Thursday, February 9th.
See Laura at the Sign-Up Table after service on Sunday,
or email Laura@hollywoodumc.org for more information.

EXPLORING MEMBERSHIP CLASSES -
SUNDAYS FEBRUARY 12th - MARCH 4th
If you are curious about what it means
to become a member of HUMC, then
you are invited to explore the next step
in our membership process.
EXPLORING MEMBERSHIP will look at
what it means to be a Methodist in general
and a member of Hollywood UMC in particular.
Over the course of 4 one hour sessions
we will examine and discuss topics
such as the history of Methodism,
the meaning and importance of the sacraments,
discovering our spiritual gifts,
and how to live out our faith in practical ways.
You certainly do not have to become a member
at the end of the class.
After all, it is called ‘exploring’ membership.
However, the class is a prerequisite
to the membership process.
EXPLORING MEMBERSHIP
will meet at 12:30pm on Sunday afternoons,
February 12th, 19th, 26th and March 4th in Grant Hall.
If you would like to sign up for the class,
or if you have any questions
about the membership process
please call Rev. Dave Stambaugh
at 323-874-2104 ext. 203.
Childcare is available.
