Newly redesigned website and newsletter
Changes made with efficient, effective communication in mind
To make better use of your time, we're providing a newly formatted newsletter just twice a month. Instead of sending a lengthy update, we're keeping it brief--we heard your feedback and we're going to use our website as a hub for information. PolkCityUMC.org will kept up to date and current as our go-to source for information.
Youth DMARC Food Drive
The youth group wants to raise $3000 for DMARC food pantries this month. Please help us reach our goal by clicking this link: DONATE

Donate food to the orange tub in front of the church or bring it to worship. THANK YOU!
Worship & Connection Survey
Take our survey to give us your feedback. We want to know what you think as we move into the colder months.
In the classic film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” a financial crisis creates vastly diverse reactions from several characters that can hold up a mirror to our own outlook on life during times of fear and crisis. But what happens when we change our focus? In this four-week series, we'll be challenged to look at our own times of crisis and fear in a compassionate way, in order to find the joy and meaning that can give us a new outlook on life! Starts Nov. 1.
Activities for Kids and Families
  • We'll have baggies with activity pages for kids to do during the service, and the packets include a family devotional-you can hang around after church (with other families) or bring it home for later.

  • Bring some recyclable containers or an unfinished wood feeder from Michaels, and stay after church on Sunday, Oct. 18th, to make them! We will also have popsicle sticks and glue for kid-friendly DIY feeders (see more ideas on our children's page).The feeders will be delivered to nursing homes in the area.  Thank you!
