Fall 2026 Sunday Night Class

Get Involved at Dauphin Way UMC

Looking to plug in more at our church? Join us on Sundays for adult discipleship! Sunday night groups and classes for adults align with the Children’s Ministry (4:30 – 6:30 PM) and Youth Ministry (5:00 – 6:30 PM) evening programming. This season, our Sunday night class is called Companions in Christ: Grace. This study will help participants explore the spiritual practices through which we become more attentive and receptive to God’s grace. For more details, please read below!

CLASS DETAILS

• Topic: Companions in Christ: Grace
• Length: A 10-Week study, beginning Sunday, September 13
• When: Every Sunday night from 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM
• Where: Dill Parlor
• What: Grace is a gift. Even before we recognize its need in our lives, God extends us favor. This study in the Companions in Christ series explores the Gospel of John and how divine grace is at work in our lives today, just as it was in the lives of biblical characters 2,000 years ago. “God’s grace comes to us in the distinctive shape of our personal histories, needs, and possibilities,” Indermark writes. “Yet divine grace also reveals the depths of what we share across all boundaries of time and place.”

Key Themes and Focus

• • Focuses on eight biblical characters or groups who discover God’s grace.
  • Emphasizes that grace provides what people cannot achieve on their own
  • Serves as an introductory course for groups in spiritual formation.

Featured Biblical Figures

• • Andrew, Simon, Philip, and Nathanael
  • The Samaritan woman
  • The woman caught in adultery
  • Mary and Martha
  • Simon Peter
  • The blind man
  • The lame man
  • Nicodemus

Participants in this small-group study will explore the central stories of John, focusing on people who discovered God’s grace through their encounters with Jesus. This is more than a survey of the biblical stories of Andrew, Simon, Philip, and Nathaniel; Nicodemus; the Samaritan woman; the lame man; the woman caught in adultery; the blind man; Mary and Martha; and Simon Peter. The Way of Grace is a transforming interaction with the events and the characters, a chance to identify with what God provided for these people, a provision they could never achieve for themselves.

If you long to open your heart to a deeper knowing of God’s grace, to recognize the “soul’s deep compass steering us Godward,” this is the study for you.
