Adult Ministry

Looking for a way to connect more deeply beyond Sunday worship? Starting in August, we invite you to gather weekly with the FUMCR community for a "Midweek Meetup: Online" for a time of spiritual encouragement, prayer, and meaningful connection online via Zoom.

Each week, one of our pastors or staff members will guide a short spiritual challenge, lead a time of prayer, and create space for conversation, support, and community as we grow together in faith. Whether you are at home, at work, traveling, or simply looking for a deeper connection in a digital space, this is an easy and meaningful way to stay connected throughout the week. Come be encouraged, prayed for, and reminded that we are stronger together as the community Christ calls us to be.

No cost, but registration is required to receive Zoom link to participate!

Join us as we explore All We Can Save edited by Katharine Wilkinson, an inspiring anthology of essays, poetry, and art by women leading the climate movement. Together we'll reflect on themes of hope, stewardship, justice, and caring for God's creation while engaging in meaningful conversation about our role in the world. This study welcomes anyone interested in faith, creation care, and practical ways to make a difference.

This monthly study group will be led by June Jones.

Scheduled dates: 9/13, 10/11, 11/8, 12/13, 1/10, 2/14, 3/14, 4/11

About June:
Growing up on a small farm in Maryland, June Ann Jones learned early what it meant to live in relationship with the land. Over the past decade of teaching, she has brought that lived experience into the classroom, inviting students to imagine futures where both people and the planet can flourish.
When she moved to Richardson in 2023 and became part of the FUMCR community, June found herself drawn to the conversations that happen when people feel safe enough to speak honestly about their values, hopes, fears, and responsibilities. Creating and contributing to those spaces—whether in a classroom, a church gathering, or a quiet one‑on‑one conversation—is one of her greatest joys. She holds a deep commitment to universal human rights and ecological community, and she hopes to encourage others as they imagine and help shape a more just and sustainable world.
