Beginning in October

by laurelhillumcUncategorized / Upcoming Event

First Sundaworldcommunion2016y in October is a very special day as we observe World Communion Sunday with our brothers and sisters all around the globe. One bread, one body, one Lord who is over us all. We rejoice in God’s mighty work among His people.

This Sunday also marks the first of five Sundays when we can bring in books, DVD’s, and stuffed animals for our ministry partnership with the Pediatric Emergency Room at the VCU Medical Center. Make the most of this opportunity to share and demonstrate the love of Jesus to these needy children.

Follow all we can do together through this month’s calendar and newsletter. Plus, see how we can be involved again in HEARTH, the Thanksgiving Food Box Program.

Looking Forward to Mission & Ministry

by laurelhillumcUncategorized

As pastor of Laurel Hill United Methodist Church there is only one week left for donations towards our Mission Partnership with the MCV Medical Center Children’s Emergency Room.  Books, DVDs, and stuffed animals are all being received through this Sunday, October 28th.

Then, next week is full of outreach and service together.  Tuesday, October 30th a group from Laurel Hill will be Feeding the Homeless as part of the Caritas Ministry.  Wednesday, October 31st we’ll be hosting TRUNK OR TREAT for the children of our community and then Saturday, November 3rd we will have our Fall Mission Dinner & Auction.  You don’t want to miss any of these great opportunities for service.

But, as I think of these immediate opportunities I’m casting my eyes out into 2013.  The first week of January, Karen and I will be headed to Dunwoody, Georgia for the 2013 Congress on Evangelism and then sharing a week apart to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary.  Yes, I am already excited about that.

Then, in February 2013, I am joining a group from Laurel Hill UMC and the Friends of Barnabas Foundation for a medical mission to Honduras.  Please be in prayer for the saving work we will accomplish in Jesus’ name! Also, look for  the ways you can support those who will be involved with this mission trip.  More news on that, coming soon…

Three Big Ways You Can Serve

by laurelhillumcUpcoming Event

View the bulletin for this Sunday and commit yourself to being a part of the outreach and mission work of Laurel Hill United Methodist Church.

 1. Bring an item: a book, a DVD, or a stuffed animal for the outreach to the MCV Medical Center’s Children’s Emergency Room.  There are three more weeks, the 14th, the 21st, and the 28th when you can bring items for this ministry.

2. See how you can help with Trunk or Treat.  This ministry outreach is set for October 31st and starts at 6:30 PM.  Talk to Jeremy and Stephanie Rowan and see how you can help provide food or candy for the evening, or you could park your car beside mine, decorate your trunk, and bring plenty of treats for the children of our community.  You can get to meet the young families of our community and share with them the good news about Jesus Christ and our life together here at Laurel Hill.  Choose a Bible theme or dress up in costume, be creative and be a part of Trunk or Treat.

3.  Get your tickets for our Fall Mission Dinner & Auction set for Saturday, November 3rd, plan for the item or items you would like to contribute to the auction.  Maybe you have a friend that would like to donate goods or services for the auction.  Contact Peggy Singlemann and find out what you can do to help.
