MEMORIAL UMC’s MISSION…
We are CALLED by Christ to

STEWARDSHIP FOR 2017
Our church finances are as follows:

Total Income as of 07/31/17 $430,160.22

Memorial United Methodist encourages the Biblical teaching of the tithe. If the ten percent is too far a reach, consider a percentage increase toward the goal. Your sacrificial gift is greatly appreciated and makes our mission possible to grow in faith, build relationships and serve all people.” “Faithfully they brought in the contributions, the tithes…” II Chronicles 31:12

UPDATE ON OUR FALL BIBLE STUDY
Many of you have been asking me about our study this fall. The short answer is that the book I want us to tackle was to be published by August 15 (yes, I do like to get them hot off the presses) but I have been notified it will now be the first of September.
The book is entitled Five Means of Grace: Experiencing Love the Wesleyan Way by Elaine Heath. It is a five week study and it will fit neatly into the fall schedule following the Finch Preaching Mission which comes early this year. (October 1-3) I am thinking we will start the second week in October and still be able to end before Thanksgiving. I am eager to get started and I know you are as well. I’ll keep you posted and I hope the publishing date in September comes to pass.
For more information, please contact Peggy Finch (336) 472-7718
