We all struggle through seasons of bitterness, tears, and loss, wondering if there could ever be a happy ending to our stories. The story of Ruth affirms that yes, there is hope for you, and it is found in the power and protection of a sovereign God who never takes His eyes off you for even a moment. Together, we’ll explore Ruth’s journey of unbearable loss, redeeming love, and divine legacy.
Workbooks are available for $18, but are not required. Childcare available for those preschool and under with reservation.

If you or someone you know is going through a season of grief, education and support is available. The invitation is open and all are welcome to this supportive community.
*Please note, there will be no group on January 24th.


Childcare reimbursement will be available for those that need it.
The cost of the class is $30 and includes all books/materials necessary to complete this course.

Divorce is a difficult journey that no one needs to go through alone. You’re invited to come together with those going through this difficult life transition. Every Wednesday, we’ll create a safe place to talk about experiences, express feelings, and give one another support.



All are invited to our monthly “Greet & Treats With the Pastors.” Whether you’re brand-new to the church, or simply want an opportunity to get to know our pastors better, you’ll find fun conversation and snacks! During a typical Greet & Treats, you’ll have the chance to:
- Learn more about the church’s mission, vision and congregation
- Ask questions
- Get to know the pastors

During this 2-hour class, you’ll learn the basic beliefs of Methodism and explore what it means to be a United Methodist at Platte Woods UMC.
