Youth Sunday is May 15

What does the Lord require of us? Next Sunday the youth will lead worship, and explore just this question. Building on Micah 6:8 the service will pursue what it means to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.The service will look a bit different, so be prepared, because justice, mercy and humility have a way of dramatically changing the way we behave.

2011 Mission Benefit Concert

Each year, talented musicians and vocalists present the Mission Benefit Concert as a fundraiser for a worthy cause. The benefactor of this year's concert is United Methodist Family Services (UMFS), which provides a network of services to at-risk children and families. You are invited to experience this concert on Sunday, May 22 at 7:00 p.m. in our sanctuary.

The Reveille Ringers and Reveille Ensemble will begin the program. Then forty-five voices will sing Maurice Durufle's Requiem accompanied by chamber orchestra, harp and organ, conducted by Dr. Charles Staples, Director of Music at Trinity United Methodist Church. Performances of this exquisite but difficult masterwork are rare; do not miss this opportunity.

Following the concert, you are invited to attend a reception in the fellowship hall catered by our own Tommy Threewitts.

Your donation will be much appreciated by United Methodist Family Services. You may donate online here or may pick up a donation form in the church office or narthex of the church.
