Created by God Study
th
For 4 , 5th, and 6th Graders, November 4-6
The weekend of November 4-6 will offer an exciting opportunity for 4th,
5th, and 6th graders and their families. Children this age are growing
physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially at a rapid pace, often in ways
they don’t understand. Created by God is a study of human sexuality with a
Christian foundation. It offers both you and your child opportunities to
learn, grow, and celebrate the fact that we have each been wonderfully
created by God and are called to responsible living. In addition, participation
in Created by God will help you and your tween to better communicate
about sexuality and other life issues now and in the future. The study will be
led by several members of our church staff and lay membership, each
chosen because of their ability to relate well to this age-group.
The study will run Friday, November 4, 6:30-8pm, Saturday, November 5,
8:30am-3:00pm, and Sunday, November 6, 9:30-10:45am. The cost is $20
per child, which includes a student and a parent handbook, a light breakfast
and lunch on Saturday, and snacks throughout. Parents attend with their
children on Friday night, and Sunday morning.
If you and your child are interested in participating, please contact Denelle
Manley,
WFUMC
Children’s
Director
at
919-556-2239
or
dmanley@nc.rr.com.

SUNDAYS
Are you a young adult? (Technically early
20’s to 40…but let’s face it, we’re all
young adults in our hearts.)
Do you want to get to know other WFUMC
young adults?
Join us for Second Sundays beginning
October 9.
We will meet at Carolina Ale House
following the 11:00 service to eat and
hang out together.
Why are we doing this? To create a
casual space for young adults and their
families to get to know one another and
begin to grow into a thriving ministry at
WFUMC. We hope that this will be the
start of something wonderful!
When are we doing this? Every second
Sunday of the month immediately
following the 11:00 service.
Where are we doing this? At a local
Wake Forest restaurant. On Oct. 9, we will
meet at Carolina Ale House.

Stephen Ministers Are There to
Comfort During Life’s Challenges
Trunk or Treat…
Questions about Children’s Ministry? Please contact Denelle
Manley, WFUMC Children’s Director at 919-556-2239 or at
children@wakeforestumc.org.
Save the Date:
Children’s Christmas Shop – Sunday, December 11, 3:005:00pm, Family Life Center
*********************************************
Chapter Six in the book of Acts tells the
story of the disciple, Stephen. He is
known for providing caring ministry to
those in need and distress. In 1975,
Stephen Ministry was organized in the
U.S. as a one-to-one lay ministry. Today
it is an important resource in more than
12,000 congregations in 170 Christian
denominations in the U.S., as well as 30
other countries. This ministry focuses
on how sharing one another’s burdens
fulfills the law of Christ.
Stephen Ministry trains lay care givers
to provide confidential, Christ-centered
care to those who are facing life’s many
trials. These include death of a family
member or friend, divorce, a serious
illness, a job lay-off, empty nest, and
many other challenges. Stephen
Ministers receive rigorous training by
leaders who take an intensive oneweek leaders’ training course. If you or
a loved one feel you would benefit
from meeting regularly with a Stephen
Minister, contact Martha Daniels at
(919)
554-4863
or
martha_daniels2000@yahoo.com.
Financial Peace University
We all need a plan for our money. Financial Peace University
(FPU) is that plan! It teaches God's ways of handling money.
Through video teaching, class discussions and interactive small
group activities, FPU presents biblical, practical steps to get from
where you are to where you've dreamed you could be. This plan
will show you how to get rid of debt, manage your money, spend
and save wisely, and much more!
This nine week course will start on Sunday, Oct 2nd and meet
from 3 PM to 5 PM in the old fellowship hall. You can learn more
about this course at http://www.daveramsey.com/fpu/home/. A $50 fee
will be needed up front for materials and the remainder will be
collected when the course begins. A signup sheet and further
information will be available in the narthex.
United Methodist Women will be
meeting Wednesday, October 12th, at 7
p.m. in the fellowship hall. All women
are welcome! Our speaker is the VP of
Heritage District UMW, our own,
Brenda Connelly. We look forward to
all Brenda will share about our Heritage
District and the many endeavors we are
involved in. Refreshments and our
time together is a joy and a blessing!
We look forward to being with you
then.

Village Church Rolesville
A Wake Forest UMC Campus
Live like family.
Love like Jesus.
Three Levels of Partnership and Commitment
How is God calling you?
The 12: I am committed to being a core leader who is willing to lead a B3
Group, or a specific ministry team like worship setup/tear down, welcome
team, outreach team, children’s team, etc., as well as support financially
and through prayer.
The 72: I am committed to worshipping at the future Rolesville campus
(even just temporarily) and serving on ministry teams, or participating in B3
groups in non-leadership roles, as well as supporting financially and through
prayer.
The 120: I am committed to supporting the Rolesville campus by meeting
needs as they arise, and/or by being prayer partners or financial partners,
but I will continue to attend worship at the WFUMC campus.
Prayerfully ask God to help you discern your level of commitment.
Then sign up in the lobby outside the worship center.
SOUND TEAM
The WFUMC needs your time and talent by becoming a member of the sound team. No
experience needed! If you can use a computer or Smartphone then you can operate the
sound and light system. Most of our team members never operated sound and lights
before joining the sound team at WFUMC. You get to ride “shotgun” while learning.
When you are ready to take the “driver's” seat, a member will ride “shotgun” with you.
Please contact Scott Harris @ 919-556-6355. Thanks.

Group
A B3 Group is group of 20-40 people (adults
and kids included!) gathering together to
follow Jesus Christ and help others become
and grow as his disciples. They will get
together once per week, either serving
together, celebrating together or for a
home gathering including a meal, prayer,
worship, and bible study.
Does this sound like something life-giving
for you?
Some people will be a part of this pilot B3
group because they want to be involved with
developing Village Church Rolesville (These
groups will be the means by which the church
campus gets started and grows).
But…we welcome any and all! It’s not a
commitment to be a part of the Rolesville
campus. You might come and just see what it’s
like…who knows, you may want to take it back
to Wake Forest UMC Campus!

pilot B3 group at their home on Fridays at 7pm
through December. It’s not too late to
participate! Schedules are in the lobby of the
Worship Center.

a Christian Life". We allow
plenty of time for dinner,
fellowship, devotion,

at the beginning. Here’s the benefit. By spending
time together with other brothers in Christ it helps
us:



In our Christian worship and obedience
In our friendships and accountability to
other believers
To grow in faith and set an example in our
relationships
To support our pastor and our church
To return God’s love for us through Christian
action
Our goal is to create a safe place for men to share
their concerns, hopes, and experiences in an
atmosphere of friendliness and Christian support
and look for an opportunity to be in service to one
another, our church and community.
We find our strength in Christ’s love for us.
Everything we do in our service is tied to a purpose
and to the glory of God.
Your UMM organization wants to be a big part of
your progress along your own personal spiritual
journey by providing an active group for discussing
issues of faith.

Delivering the Gift of Hope at Christmas
By Jorge Acevedo
As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them . . . —John 17:18
Monday at 2:00 p.m. November 7, 14, 21, December 5, 12
God sent Christ into the world as our Savior. That’s what Christmas is all
about. In turn, Christ sends us into the world. But do we really understand
how, where, and why we are sent? This five-week, Advent study challenges us
through story, art, and Bible study to discover what it means to be Christ’s
hands, feet, head, and heart. Please contact Helen Champion to sign up
hdchamp@nccumc.org, 919-556-2239.
