GROUPS AT ARBORLAWN

Small groups are a way to grow your relationship with God while sharing life with one another. Your joys and things that grieve you, the things that stress you out and things that give you pause - you weren't meant to experience any of these alone. Join a small group and find out what it truly means to belong to a group and a God who love you deeply.

Common Ground Groups provide a set apart time for fellowship with people in your same stage of life from your faith community. Find out what else you have in common with folks as you form and deepen relationships. We believe that part of saying "yes" to a relationship with God means saying "yes" to being in community with God's people beyond Sunday mornings. By meeting at different locations around Fort Worth you have the opportunity to show the Fort Worth community what it looks like to be a part of the Arborlawn family. We hope you'll join us at the next gathering!

Sometimes it's easier to form connections with others when you have something to do with your hands. The affinity groups give you the opportunity to engage in an activity you love while also getting to know others from your community of faith, but you do not need to be an expert in any of the activities to participate. All are welcome to come and try something new - you may decide the activity is not for you, but the company will be excellent regardless! Click the "learn more" button for details about each group.

SUNDAY SCHOOL

Arborlawn is thankful to have an active Sunday School Ministry. We have opportunities for people in all different places of their faith journey, each class with slightly different teaching formats. Classes are led by lay people who attend that specific class. Most classes currently meet on Zoom in the 9:45 - 10:45am hour.

MUSIC

Choral Music at Arborlawn serves a powerful purpose in leading and facilitating worship through music. The Arborlawn Music Ministry has several choirs serving the diverse ages and needs in Arborlawn’s congregation. These choirs lead in worship, presents concerts and special music, and participate in community outreach events.

UMW

The United Methodist Women (UMW) group nurtures personal connections with other women, educates women on issues critical to women, children and youth, and actively supports missions both locally and nationally. The United Methodist Women meet monthly for a general meeting that includes dynamic speakers on topics relevant to women’s lives. Additionally, small groups of women called circles are formed for fellowship, mission, and programming.

Women of the Word

Women of the Word is a vibrant community of women dedicated to embodying the mind of Christ through the collective exploration of God's Word. Through engaging with professionally curated Bible study materials authored by respected scholars, we delve into the depths of scripture, seeking wisdom and understanding. Our group warmly welcomes women of all ages, backgrounds, and affiliations, whether they are members of Arborlawn or simply visiting, or even if they have a church home of their own. Together, we foster an atmosphere of honesty and mutual sharing that strengthens our bonds of fellowship, ignites laughter, and infuses our gatherings with joy and camaraderie.

We convene every Wednesday from 10 AM to 12 PM in room #271, eager to dive into our study and grow together in faith. Additionally, we delight in coming together once a month for "potluck" style luncheons on the "First Friday" of every month, where we relish in the simple pleasure of sharing a meal and enjoying each other's company.
