Adult Discipleship

At Madison Street, we seek to nurture our members at all stages of their faith journey in ways that strengthen biblical, spiritual, and moral foundations, and affirm what we believe as United Methodist Christians. We work to cultivate an environment in which diversity is valued and different opinions are respectfully engaged.

Serendipity

Serendipity offers activities to very active but retired older adults, to those who are somewhat active in their retirement years, and even to those who feel close ties to Madison Street Church but cannot attend. 

Each quarter Serendipity may offer day trips and occasional overnighters planned by our older adults. Also, on a regular basis, Serendipity offers these good activities:

 

1) Monthly Book Club
2) Electronic Learning Workshops
3) Prayer Shawl Needlework Group
4) Card Playing Group

 

One very meaningful outreach is the card ministry. Every month almost a dozen women send 'thinking of you' and birthday cards to homebound members and all older adults. Watch the Sunday bulletin and Friday newsletter for Serendipity announcements. All are encouraged to contact Aleeta Christian, Serendipity Coordinator.
