The intent of the meeting is to discuss and study current events and how they should be interpreted in light of our Christian heritage and tradition.
As might be expected, many diverse opinions are represented within the group, and discussions tend to be quite lively. It is our goal to present fairly all sides of the issue. All are welcome to join in helping us discern our role in these issues and how they relate to LJUMC.

Common Interest Groups
Chancel Choir – The Chancel Choir is a group of individuals who love to sing. We rehearse on Thursday evenings from 7 to 8:30 and gather at 9:30 Sunday mornings to prepare for that morning’s worship. We have three concerts a year—Christmas, Spring, and Summer Pops.
The Choir has become a “family” within the larger LJUMC family. In addition to our common love of music, we share joys and concerns and celebrate and pray with each other. We always welcome new members. No audition is required. Being able to attend EVERY Thursday and EVERY Sunday is not a requirement. For example, many of our members travel frequently and come regularly on Thursdays and Sundays when in town!
If you love to sing and would enjoy being part of this wonderful part of LJUMC, we invite you to join us!
Any questions? Contact Director Bob at rwuertz.musiced@gmail.com or Sandy Coler at sreloc@juno.com
Dorian Bells – The Dorian Bell Choir wants you!!!! The bell choir rehearses from on Thursdays from 5:45 p.m.-6:45 p.m. and performs from time to time on Sundays during worship as well as at three concerts per year—Christmas, Spring, and Summer Pops. It is an excellent opportunity for those who love music and have the wish to participate with music. You don’t have to be a “musician” to participate. If you can count, we can teach you how to play! We have ringers who are “wannabe” choir members, but can’t carry a tune and find their musical “outlet” in bell ringing. Come and join us! Questions? Contact Director Bob at rwuertz.musiced@gmail.com
