Adult Ministries Of
Safe Harbor United Methodist Church

Pacers Prayer Group

If you like small groups, this is for you. Every Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. in Room #110 we offer a special time of prayer and fellowship. Everyone is invited to join in this time of praying for others. Immediately following prayer, we have a Small Group Bible Study.

Small Group Bible Study

Each Tuesday morning at 10:00 a.m. (immediately following Pacers Prayer Group), we have a Small Group Bible Study in Room #110. We began many months ago working our way through the Bible, one book at a time. Being a small group affords us the opportunity to move as quickly or slowly as needed. We take the time to answer any questions so everyone leaves with a clear understanding of the Word of God.

Scrapbookin' & Craft Night

Scrapbooking/Craft night is for all you ladies who love being creative. Bring that scrapbook or craft project you are working on and join us for loads of fun and fellowship. We meet on the last Friday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Gym. If you don't scrapbook but would like to learn how, we would be glad to help you get started.

So come on out and bring a snack. We eat, work, visit and have a great time!
