CHARGE CONFERENCES

Memorial UMC Charge Conference
Tuesday, November 14
6:30 PM
CHRISTIAN ENRICHMENT CENTER

Open meeting for all members of Memorial United Methodist Church. Church leadership is highly encouraged to attend.

United Methodist Happenings!

The Western North Carolina conference met for a Special Session on Saturday, November 4. 113 United Methodist Churches requested disaffiliation and it was granted by vote of the conference delegates.

This represents about 15% of the total 757 churches in our conference, and 16% of our membership, which totals 202,397. The vast majority of disaffiliating churches are small , rural congregations.

Many laity are seeking new church homes following decisions regarding disaffiliation. Our church leadership voted for us to become a Lighthouse Congregation earlier this year. We are prepared to welcome and care those persons whose churches have disaffiliated.

Thank you for your faithful witness.

STAR OF BETHLEHEM………Dec. 9 – 10, 2023

The Star of Bethlehem is working its way closer to Memorial Church! It won’t be long before December 9th and 10th will be here! Please encourage your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers to put this event on their calendars and attend.

There are more ways you can help get the word out. We have posters (11×17) to be put in businesses, wallet-size cards with ALL of our December events, and flyers that can be distributed to clubs, organizations, etc. If you are willing to help deliver some of this advertising, please call or text Lynda Stone at 336-882-6046 and we will get you the needed items.

Let’s all work together and make this Nativity story available to as many people as possible.

ONLINE DIRECTORY CHANGE!!!

The Instant Church Directory (our previous online church directory)  is no longer in service.

We are now using “Realm Connect”.  This is an app you can download on your phone or tablet.

You can use this as your online directory, BUT ALSO… keep your personal information updated, check your giving and chat with others.  We will be issuing more information and sending invitations out.  Each member will create their own account and password.

THANK YOU for your patience and flexibility during this transition!
