New Grow Opportunities

In addition to our great Bible studies that are already happening, Pastor Chris is adding on some new short-term studies, starting in September, for us to GROW into better disciples of Jesus Christ. These short-term studies will happen at 7:30 pm on Wednesday nights via ZOOM, and Pastor Chris is teaching them. These will be good ways for us to get to know one another and grow together! For more information, head to our website: viningsumc.org/grow. There are flyers of these offerings for the remainder of 2026 in the Narthex.
