"Do Unto Others" Series Begins Sunday, September 22

Watch Live

Our new series is based on the universal rule in most major religions, Do Unto Others what you would have them do unto you. It's called the Golden Rule because it is valuable and when we treat each other as such we all can shine brighter. This universal rule has the power to bring people together even across the red/blue divide that seems everywhere in this election time.

Pam Breniser created new paraments (religious fabric vestments for the sanctuary) to reflect this purple space where we can cultivate kindness, compassion, humility, respect and love for one another and for the good of all the world.

The tie-dye fabrics are vintage linen table runners that had stains or tears and weren't being used. The heart is a valentine candy box. Large fabrics on the altar were from the UMW stash. So the visuals are recycled and reused. Thanks to Mavis and Jim Pyle who helped take down and setup the sanctuary.

Peace,
RevKelly

UMCOR Kits with Other Local UMC Churches

for District Youth Event!

We are collecting items for UMCOR cleaning kits, which aid those whose homes and lives are devastated by fires, floods, or other emergencies like the recent flooding in

Vermont. In collaboration with the other UMCs, our goal is to provide 100 buckets. Click Link Below to see a list of needed items on Signup Genius. There is also a link from the same page to Amazon to see the items and purchase them directly. Any item donations, bring them into the Church Office and we will coordinate getting them to Manchester for the District Youth Event!

Thank you!

Do you know how to use e-commerce to sell higher-end items? We are looking for a volunteer who can help for the Holiday Fair in selling higher end items online. Please contact Kathy Romano or the Office if you can help us out.

Dear MSUMC Family-

We have decided to begin a church search to bring our worshipping community closer to home. We're hopeful that by doing this, we will find a church that has more children and families, creating a Christian peer-relationship for us and our children. This was a very difficult decision to make because we have felt nothing but love from each and every one of you, and we love each of you so dearly. We have so many fond memories from our years in this church. We arrived 6.5 years ago with just one child, and you were there with us to welcome two more children. You guided us and nurtured our faith journeys. We deeply appreciate how fiercely you have loved us and our kids. This is a congregation full of love and acceptance, and we've felt that since day one. Please know that we will miss you, but we're not too far away, so you'll be seeing us around.

Thank you for welcoming us into your family. We love you! May God bless you all.

In Christ,

Mark & Andrea Weir
