HOMEBOUND COMMITTEE

If you are interested in joining our Homebound Committee, please contact Elaine Rabon at 336-442-4790. This is a very important social connection for our church and a great way to keep our homebound members involved!

UMCOR RESPONSE TO RECENT TORNADOES

The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is on the ground and assessing the damage and providing for the immediate needs of those impacted by the tornadoes last week.  At this time, our most appropriate response is twofold.  We will continue to pray for the folks whose lives were affected by the storms and we can give money to support the relief efforts of UMCOR. Please indicate that your donations are for UMCOR.

Because of our connectional system, 100% of your gift will go directly to help those in need.   As the rebuilding phase begins, we may have the opportunity to take a building team to assist.  Stay tuned.

OPEN HOUSE AT THE PARSONAGE

All are invited to an Open House at the parsonage on Wednesday, December 29th. Drop by anytime between 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm. The address is 116 Kathland Ave. Thomasville, NC 27360.
