**Our Church-Wide Study: This Week's Readings 📖**

Where does our hope come from when life gets difficult? And what does it mean to live with the promise of eternity in front of us?

This week in "Profoundly Christian, Distinctly Methodist", we're looking at our great hope as Christians.. the promise of resurrection, eternal life, and the day Jesus will make all things new.

Don't miss this week's readings! Set aside some time to get into God's Word, reflect on what He's teaching you, and consider how the hope we have in Christ should shape the way we live today.

📖 This week's readings:
Monday, October 12th - Page 82
Tuesday, October 13th - Page 85
Wednesday, October 14th - Page 89
Thursday, October 15th - Page 92

A tiny bit of green pushing through the dirt doesn’t look like much.

But it’s a sign that something is happening beneath the surface.

Something is growing.
Something is coming.
And sometimes, that’s what hope looks like.

This Sunday at Thomson First Methodist, we’re continuing our church wide series Profoundly Christian, Distinctly Methodist as we talk about the future hope we have as Christians.

Whatever your worship style, there’s a place for you:

⛪ 9:00 AM — Traditional Worship
🎶 11:00 AM — Contemporary Worship

Come worship with us, bring a friend, and let’s spend some time remembering that what we see right now isn’t the end of the story.

There is hope ahead.
We’d love to see you Sunday.

This is what discipleship looks like.

- Sometimes it looks like a Bible open on a table.
- Sometimes it looks like a book being passed around.
- And sometimes it looks like showing up at Chick-fil-A at 6:30 in the morning because you told your friends you would. 😂

*Our high school guys meet Tuesday mornings for D-group devotionals, honest conversations, challenges, encouragement, and accountability.

*Our high school ladies gather for their book study throughout the semester, diving into a book together while building friendships, opening their Bibles, and growing in their faith.

All our students are invited out most Thursday mornings at 6:50am for a full breakfast cooked by some fantastic men, a short time of prayer and connection to start the day right. Plus rides to school for those who can't drive.

Different groups. Different conversations. Different personalities.

But the same goal:

"Know Jesus. Follow Jesus. Make Jesus known."

And honestly, some of the coolest parts of ministry aren’t always what happens on a stage or in a Sunday service.
Sometimes it’s what happens around a table when nobody else is watching.

We’re thankful for what God is doing in these students.

“You don’t go to church. You are the church.”

That’s an easy line to say—but it’s a pretty big idea when you stop and think about it.

The church isn’t just a building. It’s not simply an organization. Scripture describes the church as a living body, made up of many people with different gifts and different roles, all belonging to one another through Christ.

In this week’s message, Pastor Steve Dodson digs into what that means for us as the church.

Because if we really are the body of Christ, then we don’t just show up to church. We have a part to play.

Watch the full message as we continue Profoundly Christian, Distinctly Methodist.

We’re not just reading a book together, we’re learning what it means to be the Church together.

Our church-wide study, Profoundly Christian, Distinctly Methodist, continues this week as we keep digging into what we believe, why we believe it, and what those beliefs actually look like when we live them out.

📖 This week’s reading:

Monday, October 5 - Day One (Page 64)
Tuesday, October 6 - Day Two (Page 67)
Wednesday, October 7 - Day Three (Page 70)
Thursday, October 8 - Day Four (Page 73)
Friday, October 9 - Day Five (Page 76)
Saturday, October 10 - Sabbath and Rest

So grab your book, find a few minutes this week, and jump in. And don’t just read it.. think about it. Pray through it. Talk about it with somebody.

Then bring what you’re learning with you as we continue the conversation together.

One church. One study. One faith we’re growing in together.

The church building looks great. We work hard to take care of it, keep it welcoming, and make it a place where people feel at home.

But is that what the church really is?

This Sunday, join us at:
9:00 AM or 11:00 AM
as Pastor Steve continues our churchwide study, "Profoundly Christian, Distinctly Methodist".

This week, we’re looking at what the church is actually meant to be and what it means for us to be the church together.

Come join us as we look beyond the building and back to what God has called His people to be.

We will save a spot for you!

The firetruck looked ready to go...
But it wouldn’t start.

And honestly… how many believers are like that?

We can have the right appearance, the right words, even the right routines.. but if we aren’t allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us, we’ll never live the life God designed us to live.

You don’t just need to look ready. You need the power to go.

Ephesians 5:18
