The Life You’ve Always Wanted
Spiritual Disciplines for Ordinary People

Is your faith more like an “insurance” policy? If it is, you’re missing out on the best part of Christianity—God’s life-changing power! In The Life You’ve Always Wanted, John Ortberg reveals how prayer, meditation, fasting, servanthood, confession, and other spiritual disciplines can lead to the joyous, fulfilling life that you truly desire.

Please join us at 9:00 on Sundays in the Fellowship Hall starting on Sunday 11 September 2022.  Please contact Ed to connect via Zoom.

The General Board of Global Ministries of The United Methodist Church is deeply troubled by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the ominous implications it has for escalating tensions between Russia and Western nations. We join many Christian leaders and organizations worldwide in deploring the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, and we ardently pray for a redirection of military action toward diplomatic measures to resolve grievances. United Methodists are people of peace. Learn more HERE.

The General Board of Global Ministries is the worldwide mission, relief and development agency of The United Methodist Church, working with partners and churches in more than 115 countries to equip and transform people and places for God’s mission.

to help with International Disaster Response and Recovery

UMCOR comes alongside those who suffer from natural or human-caused disasters – be it famine, hurricane, war, flood, fire or other events—to alleviate suffering and to be a source of help and hope for those left most vulnerable. We, as Dranesville UMC, help them to provide relief, response and long-term recovery grants when these events overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on their own. UMCOR also provides technical support and training for partners to address emerging and ongoing issues related to disaster relief, recovery, and long-term health and development.
