Disaster Response Trip

Plymouth, NC | Oct. 4-8

The Disaster Response Team will be taking a trip to Plymouth, NC Tuesday, October 4 through Saturday, October 8. We will be working with Carolina Rebuild Ministries, which currently serves North Carolina's northeastern counties of Washington, Chowan, and Bertie. They work with low-income homeowners to provide accessibility upgrades and repairs that target health and safety. Typical repairs can include: wall & ceiling sheetrock, floors/subfloors, re-roofing, wheelchair ramps, plumbing & electrical, etc. 

Plymouth is approximately 2 hours from Raleigh, and volunteers can work as many days as their schedules allow. Accommodations for the trip include cots for sleeping (or bring an air mattress if you have one), kitchen, and showers for men and women.

If you have questions or if you would like to sign up for the trip, email Gordon Bell at gmbelljr@gmail.com.

Trunk or Treat

Sunday, October 30

4:00 - 7:00 p.m. | Back Parking Lot

We need your help! We will be having our annual Trunk or Treat on Sunday, October 30th from 4:00-7:00 p.m. We are in need of trunks for families to walk around and get candy or prizes. Cars need to arrive on that day by 3:30 p.m. to be set up and ready to go around 3:45 p.m. Please plan for about 200 kids. You are welcome to bring candy, but feel free to get creative with your prizes. There will be a friendly competition between trunks with prizes at the end.

YAM JAM

Saturday, October 15

All are invited to register for YAM JAM, a sweet potato gleaning with the Society of St. Andrew! For six Saturdays spanning the months of October and November, groups gather to glean sweet potatoes in Southern Wake, Johnston, and Harnett counties. NRUMC will be attending a gleaning on Saturday, October 15 from 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. If you would like to attend, click the button below to register with the Society of St. Andrew!
