Garner UMC will be hosting a monthly social event for adults with special needs beginning in August. This "Coffeehouse" gathering will offer social interaction for people with all abilities in our community. On the 3rd Friday of each month from 7:00pm-8:30pm, the CLC will be transformed into a coffeehouse with music, light refreshments and fellowship in a safe and inclusive environment. Our first informational meeting will be on Thursday, June 8 at 5:30 in the Holy Java Cafe. We hope you will attend to learn how you can support this community outreach. If you have questions, please contact Katie Cardenas (919-219-1613) or Tracey Singleton (919-880-3167).

Save the Date! The annual Back to School Bash hosted by GUMC will be held on Saturday, August 12 from 9am-12pm. Last year, more than 600 students received new book bags and school supplies; and, we hope to serve more families this year with your support. In the coming weeks, the Missions team will share how you can be a part of this community outreach.

As you are pulling out your summer shorts, t-shirts, etc., please consider donating any unwanted items to HOPE ministry. We are also in need of men’s boxers (all sizes), men’s jeans, men’s socks, razors, and spray deodorant.  A collection box is located next to the elevator for your generous donations. Contact a Missions Team member with questions.

If you would like to place flowers on the altar in honor or memory of someone, please contact the church office.
