Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church by N.T. Wright

Tuesdays, 9:30 - 11 a.m.

Facilitator: Rev. Marlin Fenn

In Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church, top-selling author and Anglican bishop, N.T. Wright tackles the biblical question of what happens after we die and shows how most Christians get it wrong. We do not “go to” heaven; we are resurrected and heaven comes down to earth–a difference that makes all of the difference to how we live on earth.

For the Common Good: Discovering and Using Your Spiritual Gifts by Christine Harman

Tuesdays, 6:30 - 8 p.m.

Facilitators: Nancy T. Gordon and Kay Psencik

This study is a great study to understand what Christ expects of us in our churches: to work together as the body of Christ for the common good. The session is focused on God’s calling for our lives. The Holy Spirit gives every Christian at least one spiritual gift; spiritual gifts are not given for our own benefit but for the common good, to be used for strengthening the church. In For the Common Good: Discovering and Using Your Spiritual Gifts, author Christine Harman leads us to examine what four New Testament books–Romans, Ephesians, 1 Corinthians, and 1 Peter–teach about spiritual gifts. Written in a conversational style, For the Common Good includes a spiritual gifts inventory to help you identify your particular gift(s).

Foundry Gathering

Once a year, Katy First United Methodist members and attenders gather for our annual Foundry Gathering. This gathering is designed to help train us as a church in areas of leadership, Wesleyan spiritual formation, and church mission/vision. 

In August of 2024, our gathering focused  on our communal life together as we explored the topics of social holiness, social justice, reading scripture in community, and leading small groups. Though the event has concluded, all materials, notes, slides, and video recaps can be found on our Foundry website or on our Youtube Channel.
