Announcement from Pastor Kimberly Regarding COVID-19

Please listen to this announcement from Pastor Kimberly. We are following the advice of the Governor of Ohio, the Bishop of the East Ohio Conference, and the Carroll County Health Department during this time of uncertainties. We are creating ways to still maintain contact with all of you! Just because face-to-face worship is canceled does NOT mean that all worship is canceled. We are still available to you for phone calls, emails, even video calls.

Africa University

Africa University is the first and only fully-accredited institution of higher learning established on the African continent by action of the General Conference of The United Methodist Church. It was founded in 1992 in Mutare, Zimbabwe, at the request of African Bishops who wanted a university for the whole of Africa to foster intellectual, moral, ethical, and spiritual growth in its students. Because of the lack of on-campus housing, many students walk very far every day in remote areas to come to Africa University. Female students become targets for human trafficking and prostitution.

 
Our East Ohio Bishop Tracy Malone has the vision of East Ohio churches building a women’s dorm to house 90 students which will provide a safe, secure environment and a community of support. Our church’s Discipleship Board in Jan. voted to participate in this project. In 2 years time, we hope to raise $20,000 to pay for 1 student room which will house 2 female students.  Any extra money will go to finish the room inside. Checks can be written out to our church with “AU” on the memo line.

Vacation Bible School

Save the date: Vacation Bible School will be June 1-5, 2020. Volunteer sign-up sheets are now available! Volunteers are needed for all areas, including but not limited to: snacks, crafts, games, and computer. We will be seeking both adult and youth volunteers to help make it a great week! 
 
Additional details to come.
