SUNDAYSERVE - November 4, 2012
Matthew 25:40 - "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sister of mine, you did for me."

The EC District Leadership Team has unanimously adopted Sunday, November 4 as our District Wide Service Day to reach out and serve our local neighborhoods and communities. While many of the details are still being formulated and we are recruiting leadership from around the District, we wanted to get the date on your calendar early to prevent any double-scheduling with local church events. [Click Here] for more details.

What Are Umc Doing? is the local church video community created by the FLUMC for churches to learn how other local churches are impacting their communities and to share what you are doing in yours.
