SUMMER CHANGE FOR CCM

During the month of July the children of Memorial United Methodist will be collecting pocket change for Cooperative Community Ministry (CCM). When they gather for the Moment With Children they will rattle and roll through the worship space with coffee cans. You may also see them as you enter for worship. Please put your coins in the cans and help them make some generous noise!

SUMMER CHOIR!

SUNDAYS AT 10:30

Join the Chancel Choir this summer on Sundays at 10:30 to prepare simple anthems for worship at the 11:00 service. We are amateur musicians who love worshiping through music. All church members are welcome! Contact Danny Frye or just show up on Sunday at the Choir Room. We are in the main building on the second floor. We hope to see you soon!
