This Week at Friendship:
This Week: When you look in the mirror, who do you see? The perfect "you" or [dys]FUNCTIONAL me? On Sunday, January 29, Tommy Gray continues our series [dys]FUNCTIONAL me.
Join us throughout January at Friendship's Lucas Ferry Campus for one of three services every Sunday: 8:20 a.m. (traditional worship), 9:30 or 11:00 a.m. (contemporary worship). You can also join us at Friendship's North Campus (Elkmont) every Sunday at 11:00 a.m. (blended worship).

CORE Groups - Winter 2012
CORE Groups of 6-10 adults are how we at Friendship live as apprentices of Jesus while “on mission” with a few friends. They are more intimate than a CORE Community (of 10-20 adults) and maintain the expectation of regular participation. Many CORE Groups are currently open to new members, but could fill up at any time.
Visit our CORE Groups page for descriptions and details on currently "open" groups, or email coregroups@friendshipumc.org for details.
New Community
New Core Communities continue this Wednesday, January 25! CORE communities provide an opportunity to discuss a specific topic and get to know and enjoy time with friends. Chose among several options to find one that best suits this phase of your spiritual journey. It's not too late to join. Learn more by visiting our New Community page.

Mercy Triumphs: The Book of James - Beth Moore
James, Jesus' own brother, started out as a skeptic, but one glimpse of the resurrected Savior turned an unbeliever into a disciple. By walking through the book he wrote, you can explore topics of joy, hardship, faith, reversal of fortunes for rich and poor, wisdom, gifts from above, single-mindedness, the dangers of the tongue, humility, and prayer.
Monday, January 23rd - Monday March 12. 6:30 - 8:15 PM
