Hello Hospitality!
As fall moves in {even though it doesn't feel like it} we have a great deal of things happening around the Church!
Here are some things to know, so that you can help direct people and get them connected.
This will take place in M201. Please help people find their way to the brunch.
If people are Curious about what it means to “join” UCUMC or, just want to know more about how to “get started” here...They can come and find out! The Membership Exploration Brunch will answer their questions and give them the opportunity to decide whether to continue into a membership class. Please have them contact Pat MacLaren or call 407.971.8678.
