DAILY DEVOTIONALS
Adult Ministry
Here at Pearl River Methodist Church, we have many Adult Ministries that offer great opportunities to connect, learn, and grow in your relationship with God and others.
Sunday School
Every Sunday morning at 9:00 A.M. our Adult Sunday School class gathers in the conference room of the Grace Center, which is the building on the right of the Sanctuary with white rockers on the porch, for a group discussion around a weekly scripture reading. The class members take turns helping guide the conversation, with the aid of a resource book, as they enjoy a time of fellowship, prayer, and spiritual growth together. There’s no homework or preparation before class, and newcomers are always welcome.

“Sunday’s Scripture” Bible Study
Each Wednesday at 10:00 A.M., our pastor leads a discussion-based Bible study on the passage of scripture to be used for the next Sunday’s message. There is no homework, and participants come and go from the group as their schedule allows. All that is needed to participate is an open heart and a Bible, (a Bible will be provided if you need one). Friends, family, and newcomers are always welcome. “Sunday’s Scripture” meets in the Agape Center which is the building to the left of the sanctuary. Other Bible studies are offered throughout the year on a variety of topics such as Methodism, Spiritual Gifts, World Religions, seasonal topics, etc.

Children
Children’s Ministry
Here at Pearl River Methodist Church our ministry for children is excited to partner with you to help your children grow mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Our goal is for them to learn what it means to be loved by God and how to spread that love to others through faith in Jesus Christ.
Children’s Church
Children Church happens during worship on 
Sunday mornings. It is specifically designed to provide Christian Education for our youngest disciples in an environment created especially for them. Children 3-yrs-old through the 3rd grade are invited to go with volunteers to the Agape Center following Children’s Time. Children’s Church is full of activities and Bible teachings that inspire children to live their lives for Jesus!

Every Sunday at 9:00 A.M. in our Agape Center, children ages 3 through 6th grade explore a Bible story through different workshops, including storytelling, cooking, Bible skills and games, photography, drama, art, music, science, woodworking, crafts, audio/video and more! The children are divided into two classes:
3 year old – K and 1st – 6th grades. Each week, the classes travel to a new workshop to learn that month’s Bible story in a different style. By the end of the month, children will have heard and experienced a Bible story in at least 4 different ways during the month!

You can find the video of the song at https://www.youtube.com/watchv=iNegeB5apBw. This is a teaching video with the song done toward the end. Each Sunday, we will be learning this song and looking forward to signing it for the congregation! HAPPY November

Music Ministry
****************************************
Music is an integral part of the worship life at Pearl River Methodist Church. We encourage everybody to join in singing praises to God during worship, regardless of musical inclination. For over a decade now, we have been blending modern Christian praise songs and traditional hymns of our faith into a unique and engaging worship experience that reflects our rich heritage and our vision for the future.
If you feel a desire to be a part of the music ministry or would like to share your gifts of music in worship sometime, please contact Leslie Craddock, our Worship Leader and Coordinator of Music Ministries.

Christmas Mission Offering It has become our tradition to give away our entire offering on Christmas Eve to missions. We challenge each family to give an equal value of what they spend on Christmas gifts towards our Christmas Mission Offering. Together our offerings make a difference in the lives of children, youth, and adults both locally and globally. In 2017, we raised $10,000 for our Christmas Mission Offering, which was given away to the Louisiana United Methodist Children’s Home, Community Christian Concern, the hurricane disaster in Puerto Rico and our local church and community missions.
