Understanding Where We are

Join us Sunday evening in the Fellowship Hall from 5:15-6:45 on November 27th for conversation and teaching as we continue to seek understanding on our current UMC moment.  We will cover questions, review our history, share the latest news, and cover the relevant Biblical passages as we clarify where we stand. Please keep our denomination in your prayers as we continue to live out our faith in Jesus together here in Richmond and beyond.

Community Prayer Focus

This month we get to join our community in praying for the Community. God’s judgement or blessing on a community is related directly to the morality of its citizens. And don’t forget: Our 24-hour prayer cycle is Monday, November 28th. Please pick up a prayer packet in the hallway or in the church office.
