The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders. The program’s approach seri-ously considers the model of Christ‘s disciples to act in ways appropriate to being “a servant of all.” The Walk to Emmaus experience begins with a 72-hour short course in Christianity. The Emmaus Walk typically begins Thursday evening and concludes Sunday evening. Men and women attend separate weekends. Our Emmaus Weekends are held at Leesburg, Warren W. Willis Camp. For more information about the Walk to Emmaus and Emmaus small groups here at Indian River City Church, please contact Chris Perdue at 321 750-1557 or [email protected].

Via de Cristo is an interdenominational ministry designed to assist disciples of Jesus in the renewing and deepening of their faith. Via de Cristo means “the Way of Christ” and began in Spain under the name “Cursillo”. The Via de Cristo Retreats are designed to be a means through which the Holy Spirit can work more effectively in and through the lives of the participants there-by strengthening their families, congrega-tions and the environments in which they live, work, and play. The weekend be-gins on Thursday evening and ends on Sunday afternoon. Dur-ing the retreat participants enjoy singing, prayer, worship and discussions that are led by both lay people and clergy. For more information about Via de Cristo here at Indian River City Church please contact Dave and Kim Elmore at [email protected] or 321/267-3549.

Adult Connections
Our life in Christ was never meant to be lived alone. God desires that we grow together in community. Small Groups, Bibles Stud-ies and classes allow you the opportunity to grow in your relation-ship with God and others.
Small Groups
At Indian River City UMC everyone is encouraged to get con-nected with other members and friends through a small group to share in Bible study, fellowship, and serving. We believe that life change happens best in a small group setting. Small groups meet weekly or bi-monthly on various days of the week and in different locations (homes in the community and on the church campus). The smaller size of these groups (4-15 peo-ple) allow you to experience more intimate fellowship and deeper relationships with others. We offer different kinds of small groups: Men Women Couples or Families Seniors To join a small group, contact Dawn Schissler, Adult Ministries Leader, at 267-7922, ext. 20 or [email protected].

Our Bible Studies and Classes are usually larger groups that meet for both short term and long term studies. Most of these studies and classes meet on the church campus throughout the year. There are ongoing Bible Studies that meet on Sunday morning at 9:30 and 10:45 AM. Other Studies and classes in-clude: Disciple IV Bible Study, The Truth Project, Beth Moore, and a variety of other studies covering a variety of topics. Please continue to check the weekly bulletin and monthly news-letter for new Studies and Classes, as well as pick up a List of Current Bible Studies and Classes in the lobbies of the Sanctu-ary and Wesley Hall.

PERSONAL GROWTH We grow in our personal relationship with God through a daily time of reading the Bible and reflecting devotionally in prayer. Pastor Bill has encouraged us to join him daily in the Upper Room. The Upper Room is a daily devotion which invites us to ponder a scripture verse and hear real life application from authors around the world. We’re challenged by the readings to grow in our faith in new and exciting ways. There are two ways to access an Upper Room Devotional. 1. Pick up a hard copy at the Gazebo or Wesley Hall lobby on
Sunday mornings or stop by the church office during the week.
2. Go online to http://devotional.upperroom.org. (You may oc-casionally be asked to subscribe, however, that is not re-quired to access the devotional.)
We look forward to “seeing” you in the Upper Room each day! Contact Dawn at 267-7922x20 or at [email protected] for questions or more information on the Upper Room.
Thanks for continuing to check the weekly bulletin, newsletter, and church website for new Studies and Classes. Also, pick up a list of current Bible Studies and Classes in the Sanctuary and Wesley Hall lobbies.
