Central UMC
Central United Methodist Church will be hosting “Five Love Languages Explored for You and Yours” February 21 through March 27, beginning at 7 p.m. each Tuesday evening. The community is invited to come join us for a great time exploring the “love language” you share with your spouse.


With more than 30 years of experience as a marriage counselor, Dr. Gary Chapman has heard it all. He has helped couples at every stage of marriage and at pivotal points in their relationships—from those just discovering the joys and trial of marriage to those who are ready to call it quits. His book, “The Five Love Languages” will be the source of our study.


Of the countless ways we can show love to one another, five key categories, or five love languages, proved to be universal and comprehensive—everyone has a love language, and we all identify primarily with one of the five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.


We will show and discuss a DVD for each session. The book is available in paperback for $8.00 each. The deadline for ordering is February 5. Contact Don Esposito at 859-4349 or call the church office at 859-3502 to enroll in this course and order your book.

Denton Sub-District UMC
The United Methodist Churches of the Denton Sub-district will have a Shrove “Fat” Tuesday Pancake Supper on Tuesday, February 21 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church.

Summerville Baptist Church
We will be starting a new 10-week bible study on spiritual warfare during our Sunday school hour beginning at 9:50 a.m. We will be using Dr. David Jeremiah’s book Spiritual Warfare, Terms of Engagement.

If you are interested in participating in this study, please call the church office at 336-859-3173 on Monday, Wednesday or Friday 8 a.m. to 12 noon to register.
