How safe are you? How can we protect ourselves from scam or fraud? All women of the church are invited to join the United Methodist Women on May 16, 9:45 am, in the church parlor. Our guest speaker, Jay Halderman, is an expert in cyber security. He will discuss security and safety issues involving our phones, computers, and social media.
Sessions led by our pastors will help you learn about our church, what it means to be a United Methodist, and how to connect. The classes are drop-in friendly, so please come whenever you can. May 15 - "Meaningful Membership" - What does it mean to be a member of the church? How do we become members?
