ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING -  is one of United Methodism’s six church wide Special Sundays with offerings.  You can be a beacon of hope in the world through your offerings to One Great Hour of Sharing. Being a beacon of hope can include supplying food to famine-stricken people, providing medicine to an AIDS clinic in Africa and furnishing lumber in hurricane-devastated areas.  Together we can make a difference through the One Great Hour of Sharing offering.  "The One Great Hour of Sharing offering , provides for those basic needs that make the rest of UMCOR's work possible." "Without this offering so much of what UMCOR does to bring hope and healing to the world could not happen.”  By celebrating One Great Hour of Sharing, you help underwrite UMCOR’s “cost of doing business” so they can keep their promise that 100% of designated gifts go to specific causes. If you would like to make a donation you can make a check out to DUMC and memo it One Great Hour of Sharing, or go online and make a donation at umcor@gbgm-umc.org

A WAY TO SERVE - We are looking to put together a team of folks who would like to be of service to those who can no longer drive but still have a desire to worship at church among friends and other worshipers.  We know of three persons right now who could use your help.  If God places in your heart a desire to be of service to these folks please contact the church office.  410-798-5511.  If you know of anyone who is in need of this service let us know that too. 

 

ADULT TEACHERS AND AIDES NEEDED - Unbury your treasured gifts and devote time teaching children about our Savior. Full-time and part-time opportunities available for both school terms; no experience needed expect for a “Life–Changing” experience and willingness to play hard and love children tenderly.  Required training is provided.

Call: 410.798.5790 at the CrossRoads Child Development Center. Be blessed and a blessing!

 

REQUEST FROM THE YOUTH DEPARTMENT - The youth are accepting donations for our new youth room!

BUS MINISTRY - The Lord has prompted the heart of Joe Niemann and we will embark on a bus ministry . On the first Sunday of each month  Joe will pick up those folks who are in need of transportation to the 11:00 service. The route and times will be developed as needed. If you are interested in this service please call Joe, 410-956-6506 or the church office, 410-798-5511. Thank you Joe! It is our hope this will allow some of our seniors who don’t drive the chance to worship at church again so if you know of someone who could benefit from this ministry please call them.
