Meal Ministry to Welcome New Team Members
Would you like to make a difference in someone’s life? You can do it by joining a Meal Ministry Team! We have provided comfort and caring to a number of families this year through many tasty casseroles and buckets of chicken.
Two kinds of teams have been formed to meet two types of needs.
Mary/Martha Meals Teams provide food to those who have been hospitalized, are going through a time of illness, crisis or grief, or have other special circumstances.
Immediate Response Teams make an immediate response to special needs that arise with little or no prior notice such as a death or crisis situation. The food that is provided is a way to demonstrate the love and support of our church family in a time of special need.
Do you need more information or want to become part of a team? E-mail or call Mary Lou Stephens, equipping
@richmondfumc.org
or 623-3580.
Grief Support Group Offered
A Comfort and Caring, Grief Support Group will be lead by Mary Lou Stephens and Kathy Vockery on Wednesday nights August 6 through September 3 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. Please contact Mary Lou at 623-3580 or equipping
@richmondfumc.org if you have questions, or are interested in taking part in this group. Grieving takes time, but the support of understanding companions can lessen the pain. We hope you will join us.
You are Invited to serve
Nancy Tomlinson has appreciated the positive responses she has received to the invitations extended to persons who have never served Holy Communion. She is equally thankful when those who find serving Communion to be a powerful spiritual experience, ask to serve Communion again.
We want to extend an invitation to others who have not yet been invited and would like the opportunity to serve. If you would like to volunteer, call Nancy Tomlinson, 623-2376 or Mary Lou Stephens, 623-3580. Whether this is your first time to serve, or you have served Communion many times, we appreciate your willingness to be a servant at our Lord’s table.
Handbell Choir
The FUMC Handbell Choir, Music in Motion, will resume rehearsals on August 20. We rehearse from 6:30 - 7:30 pm on Wednesdays in Room 311
We are always looking for new members to join. Anyone from ninth grade to adult is welcome, no ringing experience necessary. If you are interested, please contact Cheryl Jackson at 626-3644 or cheryl.jackson@eku.edu for more information.
Come express your love and praise and make beautiful music for our Lord Jesus Christ.
