Friday afternoons with Pastor Maya

Life brings seasons that leave us wondering about our direction, questioning our purpose, or simply feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes we need a trusted conversation partner, someone who will listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and walk alongside us as we navigate what's next. Associate Pastor Maya DeBruyne is setting up Friday afternoons to have some conversations. Here are just a few examples of what might be discussed:

• Discerning a major life decision
• Processing loss or transition
• Exploring questions of faith and meaning
• Needing someone to simply sit with you in a difficult season
• Wondering how your spiritual life connects to your daily challenges

These conversations are confidential, unhurried, and centered on you. You don't need to be in crisis to schedule time. To find out more or schedule an appointment, email Pastor Maya or call the church office at 405-324-1900. She's available to meet with you in your home, at the church, or at a local coffee shop on Friday afternoons.

Grief support group begins Oct 7

Drop in any Tuesday evening starting October 7 at 6:30-7:30 pm in room S7. This is an open group that provides the space for community members to connect with one another and share their experiences, learn new coping skills, gain insights into their grief, and find mutual support. Groups will be facilitated by our new Associate Pastor Maya Debruyne. Questions? Please email Maya at mdebruyne@umcgs.org.
