Our Christian love and sympathy go to the family of Blanche Sherrill, a long-time member of Dilworth Church, who passed away peacefully early Friday, February 18th.

During the month of February, we will be collecting socks, gloves, hats, and hygiene items for children in Armenia. This is part of our year-long project to pack Christmas boxes full of items for girls & boys aged 7-12. Please use the link below to our Wishlist to send your donated purchases directly to the church. If you have questions, please contact Katie McCraw at katiemccraw1@gmail.com.

Join Dilworth UMC as we seek to diversify the bookshelves at DCDC and the Dilworth Weekday School. Representation in the books we read helps shape our perspectives of ourselves and others from the earliest age. Understanding the experiences of people who are different from us develops empathy, respect, and allyship. Click below to purchase titles, off of our wishlist, that feature diverse characters and themes.

The February Amplify newsletter went out last week! February's reflection came from Anna Sink; she wrote about what reading meant to her as a child and how reading diverse books gave her knowledge and new perspectives of the people around her. Anna is spearheading the book drive to supply the Dilworth Child Development Center and the Dilworth Weekday School with more diverse books (see above).
