“RENEGADE GOSPEL- The Rebel Jesus”
In the words of the United Methodist Pastor Mike Slaughter, “Jesus did not come to start a religion.
Jesus came to start a revolution.” Jesus rebelled against the Roman hierarchy and refused to go along with the
religious leaders’ understanding of the faith. The revolution Jesus began is the revolution that Jesus
commissions us to continue.
In the book, Renegade Gospel, pastor and author Mike Slaughter presents Jesus and his challenging
message to inspire us during Lent, Easter, and through the year.
Topics include: “Discovering the Rebel Jesus”, “Revolutionary Lifestyle”, “The Most Important Question
You Will Ever Have to Answer”, “Seeing Jesus Today”, “The Way of the Cross”, and “Resurrection”.
Shady Grove UMC is teaming up with Grace UMC for this year’s Lenten study. The book study will be a
six week study based on the book, Renegade Gospel- the rebel Jesus. Our 1st meeting on February 24th at 7:00
p.m. will cover the 1st chapter and will be at Grace UMC on Harbison Blvd. Following our study, the group will
decide on the best meeting day, time, location(s), etc. Light snacks will be provided.
You can sign up by calling the church office or by completing the signup form on page 5 and placing it in
the offering plate. The books will be $10.
Hope you will join us on this Lenten journey.
With the Love of Christ,
Rev. Bob Vincent, Pastor

The Conference selected Shady Grove and 4 other Columbia District churches to begin a new program in
2015 that will help us reach the needs of our community and encourage church growth. Our initiative is to begin
another worship service but with more of a contemporary format. As previously discussed, the traditional
service is a great service and will not change.
Even with SPRC and Administrative Board’s approvals, it will not be a success without everyone’s help.
First, we ask everyone to be in prayer for our church in putting this service together and implementing it.
Second, we ask for those who are willing to help the pastor in putting together and implementing an inspiring,
praise and worship, contemporary service, to please join the Missional Initiative Team. It is an exciting
opportunity and if you feel led to help with the 2015 Missional Initiative, please signup below or call the church
office.
