THIS WEEKEND

COMMUNION - The United Methodist Church has an open communion.  All are invited to join in the celebration of God’s love!

ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING - One Great Hour of Sharing makes all of the other United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) programs possible. The One Great Hour of Sharing offering supports the administrative costs that underwrite the United Methodist Committee on Relief.  This means that by giving faithfully to the One Great Hour of Sharing offering, all contributions to UMCOR go to the specific project and not administrative costs. UMCOR is the humanitarian arm of The United Methodist Church. OGHS gifts underwrite UMCOR’s “costs of doing business.” That means every penny of every gift you make to a specific UMCOR project will be spent on that project—not on home office administrative costs.

NEIGHBOR HELPING NEIGHBOR - A special collection is taken the first weekend of every month.  These funds go through the Neighbor Helping Neighbor office to help community needs.   Please mark your check memo and/or envelope to identify this purpose to contribute.

Paper plates and cups, silverware, and drinks will be furnished.  We look forward to your attendance to welcome this group to our church.
LENTON DEVOTIONAL BOOKS There are Lenten devotional books from the Society of St. Andrew available in the church office or on the church office window ledge. This year, the Society of St. Andrew’s Lenten devotion booklet is entitled “How Beautiful” based on Romans 10:15b,“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring Good News!”
