Program Details:

  • Adult Bible Study: Words of Life
    Nearly everyone has heard of the Ten Commandments, the list of “thou-shalt-nots” found in the Bible. Jesus saw these commandments not as onerous burdens, but as guideposts to help us experience a good and beautiful life. Join others from Memorial as we take a fresh look at these ancient words.

TRUNK OR TREAT

Our Trunk or Treat event will be held Saturday, October 29th from 6:30-8:00 PM! This is a great community event for families looking for a fun and safe alternative to trick-or-treating door-to-door or a good excuse for the kids to get one more use out of their holiday costumes! Kids will travel around the church parking lot from car to car as if trick-or-treating, stopping at each decorated trunk to play a game or receive a treat.

TRUNKS NEEDED!!
Setup time will begin at 5 PM. Please contact Lynda Hepler at 336-472-9711 or click HERE to sign up.
 
 
 
CANDY DONATIONS ARE NEEDED!
Help out by bringing candy donations to the church. You can leave them at Lynda’s office.

STAR OF BETHLEHEM

The city of Bethlehem will soon come to life in our parking lot. Before you know it December 10 and 11 will be here and the 2022 drive-thru nativity story will be presented once again!

Village people are needed to make Bethlehem a bustling city. Saturday and Sunday nights will be from 5:30-8:30 pm. There will be two 45-minute shifts with refreshments in between. This is a great way for entire families to participate together. You will enjoy the food and fellowship provided for cast members and workers, and most of all, the fun of being in the village and a part of this production.

If you have previously participated, or are new to this event, please call or email Tim Lyons and let him know of your desire to be in the cast this year. You may reach him by email at tlyons00@gmail.com or 336-259-6920 by phone.

Volunteer today! Be a part of this gift to our community.

GIFTS GALORE

Gifts Galore will be here this Saturday, November 5! 

This is a great day of shopping that helps support local vendors and local charities.  There are various crafts, woodworking, leather work, specialty food booths, plus so much more.  It is a great day of fellowship.  We hope to have you join us!

CLERGY APPRECIATION MONTH

The Staff Parish Relations Committee would like to share that October is Clergy Appreciation Month. While we may show our appreciation for Danny, Rodney, and Lynda throughout the year, we encourage you to take an opportunity to demonstrate your creativity in extending your sincere affirmation and support of their tireless dedication to Memorial UMC! We are entering a very busy and meaningful season in the life of the church and our clergy will surely covet your prayers for health and renewal as they serve in ministry in our church and the community.

SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL (S.O.S) TEAM

Do you want to make a difference in the life of a child?  Memorial is partnering with Thomasville Primary School to create a caring community for the children.

Here’s how you can help. In the Narthex, you will find a list of opportunities in which you can use your gifts for ministry. Select which opportunities you would like to serve.  You may place this sheet in the offering plate, and someone will follow-up with you.
