Early Access to the Online Directory
Is your small group interested in signing up early for the Keller UMC Online Directory? If you would like a staff member to visit your group for about 20 minutes at one of your regular meetings in January, we can sign up anyone who is interested and actually go through the process of downloading the app and signing in. You have to opt in to be included in the directory or access it, so the more people who participate, the more useful it can be for everyone. To schedule a time, please contact
Victoria Wilson.

Friends, In worship this past weekend a financial update was shared. The leadership of KUMC desires to not only end 2019 well, but also begin the coming year on a solid foundation. In an effort to build this foundation, KUMC invites members give a "13th month" gift to the budget this Christmas season. This gift will allow KUMC to do some exciting things at the start of 2020 like mid-week programming and expanded child care opportunities. Additionally, it will allow KUMC to attend to building and grounds needs by completing the Sanctuary cross repair and addressing drainage concerns. If, after prayerful consideration, you would like to give a "13th month" you can do so with a gift to the general operating fund in the collection plate or
online.
On behalf of the leadership at KUMC and the work of Christ being done in and through this place, we thank you for your generosity and faithfulness.

Blue Christmas
December 18, 6:30pm
The Christmas season is filled with wrapped boxes, blinking lights, and decorated conifers. Joy and excitement surround us wherever we go. For many, however, the Christmas season is filled with painful reminders; reminders of lost loved ones, divorce or separation, lost jobs. Join us in the Sanctuary for Blue Christmas worship as we unite for a time of honest reflection, acknowledge the painful experiences we face, share in Holy Communion, and look ahead to hope and new life.
