Adult Study Groups @ South Shore
Life is best lived in community. Small groups are an opportunity to gather and guide one another through all the intersections of faith and the real world.
At South Shore UMC we provide a small group experience for every age, and have as a goal that everyone connected to our congregation be growing in a small group experience.

Sunday Morning Small Group
Epic of Eden: Ruth led by Rebecca Crotwell
Sundays @ the 10:40hr in Rm 115/116 beginning September 28
In this study Dr. Sandra Richter makes each of the characters in Ruth come alive. Participants in this study – young and old, men and women, churched and unchurched – will be challenged as they see themselves in these characters and find themselves faced with many of the same questions and challenges. Here is real life, lived out by real people with real fears, real struggles, real hope and real faith.
This class will include video and discussion components. Participants are encouraged to obtain a personal copy of the book for this study.
Let Rebecca know to expect you by registering for the class in the Welcome Center or by emailing office@southshoreumc.com.
