SMCC Ministry

The Christian Study group at Southern Maine Community College led by Pastor Gwyneth has been small but powerful. We have been meeting at the 158 coffee house with just a handful of students. We start with some chat time in the beginning, and then delve into discussion of the book Velvet Elvis, Repainting the Christian Faith by Rob Bell. The students have all loved the book, and occasionally we have had some visitors pop in, one of whom was Muslim. We have recently moved the study to the college dining hall due to some scheduling conflicts at the coffee house, which may increase the group's visibility some as well. The group is determining how to procede next semester while Pastor Gwyneth is on maternity leave, but will most likely rotate leadership within the group and choose another book to study together. Please continue to keep this group in your prayers.
