Current & Upcoming Sermon Series

August: Women in the Bible

September: From Hungry to Whole
 

Our Newest Initiative

In conjunction with our September sermon series, starting September 8th, join us every Wednesday night at the Montville UMC parsonage (29B Whitehall Rd., Towaco, NJ). We’ll be having “Wholly Club” gatherings from 6:30 to 8:00pm each Wednesday, with dinner provided for all who attend.

Inspired by “The Daniel Plan” book and John Wesley’s Holy Clubs, this“Hungry to Whole" initiative will be grounded in Psalm 107:9 – “God satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things” (NIV). This is a ministry that not only seeks to fill people spiritually, but integrates their whole selves in a way that honors God and helps others. Our goal is to nurture body, mind, and spirit wellness within the context of a faith community that extends that message of healthy and wholistic living beyond the walls of the church. All are welcome to be a part of this new and exciting initiative!

Small Group Opportunities

In May & June, we went through a Bible Study on the Parables of Jesus. In July and part of August, we went through a book group with a book called "Love Story" by Nichole Nordeman. Join us this fall for our next book group that will be going through the book "Jesus in Me." And aside from any upcoming small groups, we hope you'll join us for our newest Hungry to Whole initiative starting in September.

And know that all small groups from here on out will have a Zoom call-in or video option in addition to an in-person option.
