Gather
A church isn’t just a building, it’s a body of believers who talk, laugh, eat, serve, and support each other through the ups and downs of life. Check out the many different ways we offer to do just that!
Nourish
1 Saturday per month from 4:30-6:30 pm (Return date TBD)
DUMC’s Worship & Youth Center
Current Study: “The Good Life” by Dr. Derwin L. Gray
Nourish exists to nourish your body (with a potluck dinner) and your soul (with God’s Word). We will be looking at the Beatitudes that Jesus gave in His Sermon on the Mount and discussing how we can live “the good life” by striving to make them the rhythm of our lives.
We hope that you will join Pastor Paul and Elise on the first Saturday of each month (unless otherwise noted) for this nourishing small group.
Open to everyone. Families welcome. Childcare provided. Bring a dish.
Wesley Class (Adult Sunday School class)
Sunday mornings from 9:00-10:00 am
DUMC’s Room 2
Current Study: “Becasue of Bethlehem” By Max Lucado and “The Reasons for Christmas” by Rick Warren (Began 11/17)
The Wesley Class has nine teachers who lead the class, each doing so for one month at a time. The first 15-minutes are spent in fellowship, followed by 45-minutes of class study and discussion. We close with prayer concerns and The Lord’s Prayer. Wesley attendees have one social / fellowship event each month. Participants range in age from the 40s to the 90s, with high school and college students occasionally sitting in. Everyone is welcome!
Initially a couples group formed 40 years ago we have developed strong and cherished bonds navigating the joys and trials of parenthood together. We are now navigating the joys and trials of a later season in life and would love to have you be part of the journey. Please join us for Bible study and conversation on Sundays at 9:00 am and monthly social outings.

EXPLORERS
Monday evenings from 6:00-7:00 pm (Return date TBD)
DUMC’s Room 2
Join us for a small group, open, round table discussion of religious (and maybe even “non-religious”) questions with various possible answers. This will be an open and safe space to share your thoughts, ideas, and differing points of view. The goal of these group discussions is not to necessarily identify absolute unequivocal answers, but rather to share differing points of view and broaden our own thoughts on topics of interest. Topics can be provided by the attendees or selected randomly from pre-prepared questions/statements. Everyone is welcome!

If you’ve ever found yourself wanting to be a part of a small group or Bible study but you can’t ever seem to find the time in the craziness of life to make it work, then this small group is perfect for you because you don’t even have to leave your house!
Everyone is welcome!

Young Adult Online Small Group – Watch Video
Wednesday evenings at 6:00 pm
Current Study: TBA
We are working on starting up a small group for young adults that will meet online, Wednesday evenings from 6:00 – 7:00 pm. The reason we are going the online route is so that we all can get together no matter where we are in the world (e.g., school, living out-of-state, or right here in Doylestown, but you don’t want to leave your house). Our meetings will include video-based studies and discussion about topics that are relevant to real life. Adulting is hard, but life is better when we figure it out together. We hope you will check out this group and grow together in the community.
This group will likely begin in November (stay tuned for a start date) and will be led by Prerna BalaEddy and Pastor Paul. Here is a video from Prerna introducing herself and explaining a little more about the group, what we’ll be discussing, and more.
Midweek Seekers
Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:00 pm (Return date TBD)
Current Study: The next study is TBA, stay tuned for updates.
Everyone is welcome!

Current Study: “EXPERIENCING GOD” BY HENRY, RICHARD, MIKE BLACKABY & CLAUDE KING
A 12-week Biblical experience that brings you closer to the answers to questions you may have: How can I know God and experience him in my life? How can I hear his voice? What is God’s plan for my life? Why do I need church? How can my church be God’s instrument for building his Kingdom? Workbook with video access.
Closer to the start date you can sign up in the lobby or through the eConnections newsletter to let us know you’re coming. Everyone is welcome!
Book Discussion Group
DUMC’s Room 2
The Book Discussion Group reads and discusses books that, while not overtly Christian, offer insight into the world as it exists. This helps us understand how to follow the teachings of Jesus in that world. In choosing titles, we attempt to include selections from diverse cultures, different points of view, and a variety of time periods. We welcome new members and are always open to suggestions for good books. Click here for current list of books.
Pins and Needles
Friday mornings from 9:30-11:30 am
DUMC’s Room 2
If you enjoy knitting and other needle crafts, this group is for you! We meet at the church to work on our projects and have fellowship with one another. Please feel free to join us whenever you are able. Beginners welcome!
Lenten Soup Suppers
Wednesday evenings during Lent
6:00 pm (Soup Supper), 7:00 pm (Worship Service)
Each year, we host a series of Soup Suppers during the season of Lent. Beginning with Ash Wednesday and continuing for the following five weeks, we gather for a simple meal of soup, bread, coffe, and fruit, then join together in the Sanctuary for Worship. It takes the help of many volunteers to make this happen by providing pots of soup, helping with the set up, serving, or cleaning-up. All church members and friends are invited to join us as we prepare our hearts and minds for the Easter season.
For more info, please contact our church office at 215-348-5224
