What’s Happening

What does it mean to give our time back to God’s church? We’re going to talk about why it matters that we remember there are seasons to everything. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Pentecost Sunday! Wear your red this Sunday, May 19, to celebrate Pentecost! This is the day when we celebrate the early church receiving the Holy Spirit and its ongoing activity in our lives. We wear red as a symbol of the Holy Spirit fire that came down on the disciples that day. Celebrate with us by putting on whatever red clothing you have for worship that day.

It’s Planting Season: Our Vacation Bible School (VBS) program has us digging in and growing our roots deep.

VBS will open our planting season July 8 – 11 from 4:00 – 7:00 pm here at GUMC. Watch for more information from the gardeners.

It’s Family Promise time once again! Our first service rotation is next month: June 10 – 14 and June 17 – 21.

There are some changes, but our mission is the same. We will host the families for dinner at GUMC in our fellowship area. Our partner churches will provide the meals, and we will help serve and visit with the families. GUMC will help with breakfast and lunch items for the families, as well as some volunteer opportunities.

So watch for more information, and get ready to help with our mission to help end homelessness through Family Promise. If you are interested in helping, please contact the church office directly.

Strength in Numbers: For the month of May, we will be collecting peanut butter and jelly, plastic jars preferred. June’s items are crossword puzzle and word search books. There are 4 collection boxes around Goodrich (Sims, GUMC, Browns Hardware, and Abeantogo). Thank you for your continued support in this mission.

Upcoming Mission Sundays

Dogs Dogs Everywhere May 19: Therapy dogs continue to use the gym to train and certify pet dogs to become therapy dogs who go out into the community giving comfort and confidence. More and more schools are buying therapy dogs to be in classrooms every school day. They give comfort, reduce anxieties, foster reading skills, and foster a caring environment. Don’t you just love to pet a furry dog?

Mission Activity For Everyone May 26: During and after coffee hour, fleece blankets will be brought out to be tied for patients receiving chemotherapy. You just make a square knot at each set of fringe, tying the two layers together. Please leave the safety pins in place. Help will be provided to get you started.

Dinner with Friends – Dave the Date: We are so pleased to announce that “Dinner with Friends” will return this Fall. Mark your calendar for Friday, September 20th, for the next Community Outreach event. With a little more time to plan the Fall event, we hope to expand our outreach by getting the word out to even more friends, family, neighbors, etc.
