“Changes & Challenges in the United Methodist Church”

Some Churches are Disaffiliating from the UMC, and this creates confusion among our members. What are the facts and why would a church do this? I am hosting a third informational meeting titled, “Changes and Challenges in the United Methodist Church” on Tuesday June 6th with identical sessions at 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. No reservation is needed and all are welcome.

Outreach Project for Bath VA

Ten years ago, Outreach began collecting clothing items for the Bath VA. Once again, the committee would like to collect sweatpants (L-XL-2XL-3XL-4XL) and sweatshirts (XL-2XL-3XL-4XL) as they are always requested. Plain colored or white T-shirts or even three button shirts (same sizes and no writing) are accepted. Additionally, men’s underwear has been requested with no size or type specified. We will begin to collect items on May 15 and continue through June 18. Thank you for supporting the Outreach Committee as we Reach Out to the Veteran’s in Christian Love.
