Adult Ministries

Small Groups for Study & Support

Mondays at 6:30 pm, April 6–May 11
Looking for a faithful, practical approach to money? Join Saving Grace, a six-week study that helps people of faith build healthier relationships with money and align their finances with their spiritual values. Rooted in principles from the United Methodist Church tradition, this study includes simple worksheets, budgeting tools, discussion, and optional video content. Facilitated by Sherry Bumgardner, all are welcome ~ no financial expertise required.
 
Please share your interest in participating with Heather Steffey, 704-864-3222 ext. 105, or Heather@MyersMemorialUMC.org. Books will be available to order as we approach the study date.
Tuesdays at 6:30p, Begining March 3
This study, facilitated by Pastor Andy, meets on Tuesdays at 6:30pm in Room CFC106. Inspired by Dr. John McGill’s work on emotional intelligence, each scripture-centered session creates space for meaningful conversation, reflection, and curiosity as we cultivate gratitude in everyday life. An electronic copy of the study will be provided during the first week. 
 
If you are longing for a faith-filled pause and a deeper awareness of God’s gifts, this study is a beautiful place to begin. 
 

To share your interest, contact Heather Steffey, Ministry Coordinator, at Heather@MyersMemorialUMC.org or 704-864-3222 ext. 105

Support Groups

 
Caregivers Support Group
Second Tuesday of Each Month at 3:30p in the CFC Classroom
For more information, you can contact Bill Wilhelm (bill.wilh46@gmail.com).
 
Alzheimer’s Support Groups play a vital role in a caregiver’s well-being. They offer something you can’t find in books or casual conversations—a blend of shared experience, emotional support, and practical knowledge.
It’s also a place to simply exhale. Caregivers often feel more comfortable opening up to others who aren’t directly involved—people who truly understand and listen without judgment, because they’ve “been there” too. 
Al-Anon
meets on Tuesdays at 11am in the CFC Classroom.  Enter the building through the portico entrance.  Park in the parking lot behind Bank of America.
At Al-Anon Family Group meetings, the friends and family members of problem drinkers share their experiences and learn how to apply the principles of the Al-Anon program to their individual situations for persons and families with substance abuse problems.
 
NA: Narcotics Anonymous
meets on Thursdays at 7:30pm in the Youth Lounge. Enter the building from the back side of the church’s education building (in the lot connected to the Pumpkin Patch area).  NA is a nonprofit fellowship of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem.
