MITS WITS - Adult Christian Education

MITS-WITS - This adult Sunday School class with the funny name was started in the 1970's.  It is an acronym for "Man in the Street and Woman in the Street."  One of our members had read a book by that name and the class felt it symbolized the group's desire that all prospective members would be welcome in this class.  Over time we have come to think of it as also standing for "Man in the Search - Woman in the Search" - Christian men and woman searching and stretching their faith as they integrate it into their daily lives.

Sunday morning classes are held from September through June.  They are lively, educational, inspirational and vary diverse.  Subject matter may include Bible study, social concerns, lifestyle issues, community agencies, or other religions and cultures.  Class facilitators may be class members, clergy or guests.  Members also enjoy each other's company in social settings - a social is scheduled almost every month.  We usually say we have as much fun planning our socials as we do attending them!

And we support the church and missions through many other activities, such as church-wide omelet breakfasts, painting or scrubbing the church, poinsettia sales, coat drives and adopting families at Christmas.

Feel free to drop in our class any time.  We meet on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in the Wesley Center.

Women at the Well - Mitchellville Women's Prison Ministry - Monday, September 15, 2008

Matthew 25:36 "I was in prison and you visited me." The Iowa Annual Conference has a congregation of incarcerated women in Mitchellville.  They are a community of women at the institution, in a congregation whose goal is to make disciples, just like any other United Methodist congregation.

How to Help: Churches and individuals may offer financial support to the Women at the Well.  Unpaid servants (volunteers) are needed to serve in the clothing closet, worship services, or religious library, to lead Bible studies or share skills and hobbies in a faith environment, or to participate as musicians and teachers. The women work but are paid only $.37 per hour, so personal items are always needed. read more ...
