Adult Spiritual Formation
In addition to Sunday morning worship, Oconee Street UMC has several adult small groups that meet to study and pray together.
S.A.L.T. (Sharing and Learning Together)
Every Sunday, 9:45 a.m. • 717 Oconee St. with online option
Led by participants
Drop in for reading, commentary and discussion of a chapter of scripture to help discern the meaning, value and application of the reading for our everyday thinking and action.
Open Table
Every Sunday, 9:45 a.m. • Conference Room
Led by participants
Drop in to explore lectionary readings, faith journeys and living out the Gospel through social justice work, prayer and meditation, and community. Drop-ins welcome.
Choir
Every Sunday, 5:30 p.m. • Choir Room
The choir rehearses most weeks and enjoys time to worship together through music.
Young Adult Bible Study
Every Tuesday, 7 p.m. • Fellowship Hall
Led by Young Adult leader
This group of college-age people meet for Bible study, food, discussion and to do ministry in the community. The group (undergrads, grad students and recent grads) meets every Tuesday evening. Studies are often from video or live discussion, requiring little reading ahead of time.
Midday Renewal
Second Thursday, 11:45 a.m.-1 p.m. • Fellowship Hall
Led by participants
This small group meets from 11:45 a.m. 1 p.m. at the church the second Thursday of each month. It’s a “Bring Your Own Lunch” gathering for prayer, bible study, devotion, and fellowship.
Spiritual Formation small group
The concept is simple. For each meeting, each individual picks a spiritual formation exercise (prayer, service, study, etc) and practices it until the next session. Then the group gets together, talks about the experience practicing, and sets a course for the next time.
