March 23/24 2013


Hello Hospitality! 
 Holy Week is upon us as we move into our Palm Sunday Weekend. 
Your friendly faces are so important each Sunday, but in these coming weeks more than ever.  Many people only come to Church on Holidays.  Sometimes they have not yet found a close relationship with Christ, and sometimes they take the opportunity of a Holidays to begin one.  
Finally making that choice to come to Church is big! Making the choice to continue coming is HUGE!  You can help their decision, by being that welcoming face and HIS hands and feet, as you greet each person that comes to Church this weekend.  

Check out this video:  They need you

Here is what's going on in and around UCUMC......Help people get connected by letting them know what's going on........
