Events
We will have a Duke intern this summer from June 5 through August 14. The AssessUMC Team decided that we will ask Duke specifically for an African American student, male or female. It would be in line with our church's new goal - Growing the church by 50% in 10 years - and our preparation for it by expanding our hearts. We are looking for his/her housing throughout the internship. If you are interested in providing it, please let Pastor In-Yong know. Thank you!
Annual MLK Walk - To celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy, people in this area will meet on the Courthouse lawn on Monday, January 17 at 10:00 am and walk to Kiwanis Park together. Our church paid for one of the ten 2' x 5' MLK banners. Please join us.
Human Relations Day offering - Human Relations Day (Sunday before the national observance of MLK’s birthday) is one of six churchwide Special Sundays with offerings of The United Methodist Church. This day calls United Methodists to recognize the right of all God’s children in realizing their potential as human beings in relationship with one another. Let us give generously.
