A Weekly Newsletter of Memorial United Methodist Church

October 29-November 4, 2017

An insert in your worship bulletin provides information about

young residents at our KY United Methodist Homes.

For more info, visit www.KYUMH.org or phone 859.873.4481.

Your support helps young people grow physically and spiritually!

Our Nominations Committee is preparing to select individuals for nomination to

serve as leaders at Memorial next year. They will be approved at Charge Conference on

November 28. We would love to get your ideas as well! Positions need to be filled on

Church Council, Finance, Trustees, Staff-Parish Relations, and Nominations committees.

If you would be interested in serving, or if you have a suggestion of someone else you

believe would be a great choice, please let us know! Please list the name on the back of

your Communications Sheet or phone the church office. Your ideas will be an incredibly

helpful tool when we meet. Thank you for your contribution to this important process.

THE LIGHT Children's Ministry is hosting

free to our church and the community

October 29, from 5-7 pm.

Our Sock Collection Drive continues for our Christmas Food Pantry distribution on

December 8, and for our Room In The Inn (RITI) guests throughout the winter months.

Thank you to all who have already brought donations of purchased socks. We have

reached a little more than 1/3 of our goal of 2,500 pairs!

►Now we have another way to participate….Danny O'Brien has located a source for

socks at a much better price than anything available locally (20¢ a pair)! If you wish to

make a monetary donation toward the purchase of these socks, please write a check to

MUMC with the notation “Christmas socks”. We will purchase socks with your donation.
