Wednesday Word is the email newsletter that is published weekly at Calvary UMC. If you would like to receive the newsletter, please email pathwa...@calvarync.org and ask to be added. Both Wednesday Word and the regular Thursday email announcements from RUMC will continue for a few weeks. Be sure you don’t miss out on anything—sign up to be on both mailing lists!
CARVE and Githens Contributions
We will continue to support the Urban Ministries Food Pantry, joining with Calvary in their ongoing gifts to this ministry. There is a basket under the prayer table where you my leave your gifts on any Sunday. Our brothers and sisters at Calvary are accustomed to bringing their gifts on the second Sunday of each month, but RUMC folks who would like to continue the discipline of weekly gifts are welcome to do so.
The Serve Team also plans for us to continue supporting the students at Githens Middle School and will be working with the folks at Calvary to identify a place for collecting these items. More information will follow.
Canning Memorial Service
Tom’s Canning’s life will be celebrated at RUMC on Saturday, February 9 at 11:00 am, and a reception will follow the service. RUMC meant so much to Tom, and we hope everyone will come for the service.
Damascus Road Sunday School 9:30-10:30 Each Sunday
Damascus Road Sunday School IS meeting each Sunday morning at Calvary. This class uses the Upper Room devotional guide as a curriculum, and everyone is invited to join them. The new year is a great time to begin attending a class if you haven’t been doing so already. If you have questions, Sandra Shepherd is the person to contact (information in the directory).
