UKRAINE

How to assist the Ukrainian people
The United Methodist community in Ukraine, though quite small, is actively engaged in assisting neighbors in need. Global Ministries is in touch with the church’s leadership as well as with church leaders in countries welcoming those who are fleeing from violence in Ukraine.

If you wish to provide humanitarian assistance to the Ukrainian people in the wake of the Russian invasion of their country you may give a check to the church by marking it “Ukraine”. Your gift will provide direct assistance to those in Ukraine, as well as assistance to Ukrainians fleeing to neighboring countries.

Due to the United Methodist connectional structure, one hundred percent of all contributions go to the designated cause.
Because of your generosity we have collected $925.00 for Ukraine this month. Thank you!

LENTEN LUNCHES

Lenten Lunches are returning this year! These will take place each Sunday of Lent, immediately following the 11:00 AM worship service. (March 13th, 20th, 27th, April 3rd, & 10th)

We will take reservations that will allow for food preparation and to ensure sufficient seating that is safe. Please RSVP to these events by the Wednesday prior to each Sunday.

Reservations can be made by contacting Summer Gordon in the Church Office at (336) 472 -7718.
