SERMON SERIES RESOURCES
Welcome to the Clay UMC sermon resource sharing page. The sermon resources below are for you to use and modify for your community and context. For most series, you'll find graphics, sermon guides with daily questions and weekly studies, and sample sermons. The resources are free; we simply ask that if you use the resources you notify us (bdurand@claychurch.com) so that we can assess the best way to continue to provide resources like these for others.
NOTE: Circle Sermon Guides include daily Scripture and reflection questions and weekly sermon reflection small group studies.
