"Enter to Worship-Depart to Serve"
Can you name at least one way God is at work in your life right now? It doesn’t have to be something complicated or humongous. It could be a simple kindness or a single word of encouragement. Whatever it is, take the time to give thanks to the Lord.
Find out more about acting on one thing God wants for you or that you want from God by reading November’s newsletter or keep up with things happening at Laurel Hill and in our community by checking the calendar for November.
October is a special month for Laurel Hill. It is a month to gauge and grow in our commitment to the Lord. It is a month when we will celebrate Laity Sunday, October 8th in both services. It is a month when we will host our annual Charge Conference with seven other churches participating on October 15th!
It is also the month for collecting books, DVD’s, and stuffed animals for our ministry partnership with the Children’s Hospital of Richmond and the Pediatric Emergency Room. Make sure you’re helping and participating in this great outreach.
Also, at the end of the month, on the 28th, Laurel Hill will have a Fall Festival for our children and our families. Find out all about it in the newsletter and get it on your schedule as you check the monthly Calendar.

As we begin the season of Lent on March 1st here at Laurel Hill UMC at 7:00 PM, I encourage you to make these days “a time of refreshing from the presence of the Lord”. (Acts 3: 19) Be immediate and active in your obedience and “let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10: 24 – 25)
To help you with this, here is our March newsletter and calendar! Don’t forget to get your tickets for our final Mission Auction and Dinner, set for March 11th. Craft rooms open at 4:30 PM. Dinner begins being served at 5:00 PM. Live Auction starts at 6:30 PM.
March 12th, the Kean University Choir will be our special guests during the 11:00 AM service.
