Small Group Ministry is where 8-10 people meet in a committed group with the intention of establishing deeper connections with each other and with God. The groups meet once a month from October to June and are led by trained lay members of the congregation. The group meetings run 1.5 hours and include a check-in, a short topic reading, discussion of the topic, and closing prayer.
This year our Small Groups will focus on the WHY WE WORSHIP theme that is guiding our Creative Worship and other church programs. Each month we’ll focus on a different aspect of our worship and how it connects with our faith journey!

MHYG offers kids a safe place to explore their spirituality, form deep relationships, and let loose through fellowship, games, check-ins, and sanctuary time.

“Understanding the New Testament”
Why do we have four Gospels? Why do they contradict each other at times? What was the purpose of Paul’s letters? What is the Book of Revelation really about? Beginning this fall, we’ll take a year-long look at the New Testament through this 24-part video lecture series produced by the Great Courses. These dynamic lectures, given by Professor David Brakke, Chair of Christian History at Ohio State University, start with the earliest writings of the NT – the letters of Paul, and then move on to the Gospels and Revelation. We’ll examine the original contexts of these writings and the people who wrote them, giving us a new perspective on these ancient texts.
We’ll watch the video together as a group and then have a discussion facilitated by Pastor Maureen. The class will meet every 1st and 3rd Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. from September through May. We’ll meet on Zoom because we’ve found this to be a more inclusive way to be together! All are welcome! Please RSVP to Pastor Maureen to receive the Zoom link, or access the link on our church website in the Members Section Zoom Links, listed as “Wednesday Adult Ed”
