While we love to see you on Sundays and Wednesdays, we do have many other classes, studies, and groups meeting throughout the week. We trust that you are able find a place that is a good fit for your busy schedule.
The offerings through the week range from art classes to prayer groups to support groups to Bible studies and they are listed below. As with our Wednesday Night Small Groups, these classes and groups are a great way to engage and connect with others. Some are all about relationships with each other or directly with God through prayer. Others are not only about relationships but also about growing in our faith through study, reflection, mission and discussion.
If Sunday and Wednesday classes and groups don’t work for your schedule, Come Engage with Us on one of these days of the week. For more information, please email us at Adultdiscipleship@graysonumc.org

‘But your grief will turn to joy.' John 16:20
Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. John 16:22 NIV
After the loss of a loved one, many emotions are experienced that can feel overwhelming and exhausting. While everyone's grief can look very different, you do not have to walk through the wilderness of sorrow alone. These once a month meetings will offer a devotional, support, encouragement, discussion, and prayer for those in need of a faith community while in mourning for a loved one.
