I'll start back up in January.
I just want to say THANK YOU for all your help and support in HOSPITALITY! You all have such big hearts and shine the light of Jesus through everything you do. I send you all so many e-mails with requests to help out with so many different things throughout the year! You ALWAYS come through and you ALWAYS do whatever needs to be done with passion and compassion! You are truly a special group of people!!
I love this Church as much as you all do, and I truly believe people feel that when they come to UCUMC.
God Bless all of you as you celebrate Christmas!
