"The Lights of Christmastown"

Dilworth UMC has been invited to join a team from Myers Park UMC traveling to Armenia on a mission trip this July. Tentative dates are July 9-21. This mission opportunity will be an opportunity to expand our partnership with Project Agape and visit some of Christianity’s most ancient sites. Don’t let cost be a deterring factor, scholarships are available. Remaining spots are extremely limited, please reach out to Pastor Cade (cade.barefoot@dilworthchurch.org) to express interest and ask questions about this trip.

GIVING TO HELP TORNADO VICTIMS through our church is one of the best ways to ensure that 100% of the money actually goes to relief efforts on the ground. Because our apportionment dollars in regular general church giving goes to help pay salaries and expenses for UMCOR staff (United Methodist Committee on Relief), special offerings such as this one are 100% given to help local relief. UMCOR is already in place and will be in KY and TN as long as necessary to help the communities devastated by the tornadoes. If you write a check to the church for this, please make a note on it "Tornado relief". Likewise, if you donate online for it through the church site, under OTHER please note "Tornado Relief". May we be Christ's love for those in need.

Calling all realtors, landlords, and property managers. Dilworth UMC, along with other houses of faith across Charlotte, is working to settle recent refugees, particularly from Afghanistan and Haiti, into more permanent housing. Any congregation members with connections to individuals or businesses that would be willing to work with refugee families who might not have background checks, social security, employment, etc. are invited to reach out to Pastor Cade (cade.barefoot@dilworthchurch.org) to offer assistance in finding housing for these vulnerable individuals.

Please make your donation by December 20^th and earmark it as “Staff Love Offering.” You may contribute on the DUMC website, drop your gift by the church office, or place it in the offering plate. On behalf of Staff Parish, thank you for your consideration of this worthy request.
