Beautiful Beloveds,
I hope your holiday weekend was fun and meaningful, if in new ways. Our family missed community fireworks, but enjoyed watching Hamilton together. In our Zoom Coffee Hour on Sunday we reflected on the powerful story of Alexander Hamilton and the birth of our nation, the strong personalities, and the way the story resonates today. So much has changed in 244 years, and so much remains the same.
In this summer season, I want to invite you join us Saturday, July 11, at 10am at the church, for hymnsing car karaoke. You’ll park in the parking lot, with windows closed, and tune in to the designated radio station. And you’ll hear, on your car radio, Betty Kelly playing the greatest hits of our United Methodist Hymnal. You can sing with gusto, and no mask, from the comfort of your car. They’re calling for rain, so consider a perfect rainy day activity for the whole family, singing the songs of our faith. Please Register here to let us you’re coming and submit your favorite hymns so we’re sure to sing them!
Peace,
Heather

Gifts
Please continue to submit pledges via our online giving portal, and through the mail. Your generosity is supporting meaningful mission and ministry in our community!
Please no gifts of thrift, yard sale, or rummage items. Please don’t enter any of our buildings. Please leave nothing at the church, annex, nor Rainbow’s End. At this time we cannot accept any donations and do not have the volunteers on our campus to sort and store them appropriately. We will advertise very publicly when we are ready for these items. Thank you for your generosity and patience.
In these uncertain days, we understand if you need to make a change to your pledge to meet your changing life. If you plan to decrease, or increase, your pledge, please let Jane Gray, our financial secretary know, so we can create a more accurate budget moving forward. Please call 508.428.2811 or email: office@umcchurches.org.
