Fireside Conversations
2021 brings not just a new year, but also a renewed opportunity to gather. Starting every Monday at 1:30 we will be gathering by the fireplace and on Zoom to share and discuss whatever may be on your heart or mind. Feel free to drop in here and there or attend weekly or invite someone new. There is no topic off limits as we conspire about what Jesus is about. For 2021, any remaining time in the hour will be focused on Practicing the Way of Jesus. We will go through every command ofJesus and wrestle with how we can obey them here and now. For more questions, contact Pastor Joseph (joseph@richmondcumc.com). Zoom meeting link – https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81236087134 meeting ID – 812 3608 7134
Real Discipleship Survey
The Real Discipleship Survey is an instrument designed to support the development of maturing disciples at both the personal and congregational levels. It measures the level of maturity in each of six dimensions of discipleship: Worship, Hospitality, Open to Jesus, Obeying Jesus, Service, and Generosity. The Indiana Conference has purchased a conference-wide license which makes the survey free for all INUMC churches and congregants! You can find the links to the Real Discipleship Survey and the Instructions on our website at richmondcumc.com/exploring/

Prayer Partners
It is time to revive our Prayer Partner program. This has been a longstanding tradition at Central and many have been able to experience the connection between generations. Now, more than ever, is a great time to get this program active again. This is a wonderful way to get to know our church body. We may not be able to connect face to face right now, but we can always meet face to face with Christ and pray for one another. If you are interested in being a prayer partner, please email sheri@richmondcumc.com with your name, phone, and address. She will connect you with a child or teen that will be your partner for the year. We ask that you pray for each other, send a written note from time to time, and recognize special days with a card.
