Our community needs your help. As we continue to recover from the winter weather, there are still families who lack food and water. Today from 3-5 p.m., we are collecting non-perishable food and bottled water on the east side of the church. We've included a list of suggested items below. Please do not bring unsealed water and be mindful of donations that require water for cooking.

As I write this to you, our home is without power or water, and Trip and I are bundled up in coats and gloves, trying our best to keep warm under a pile of my grandmother’s hand-knitted afghans (thank heavens her favorite yarn was wool!). Perhaps some of you are dealing with the same kinds of challenges, so you understand our new appreciation for heat, light, water, and hot meals. Sometimes it’s easy to take simple things for granted, isn’t it?

It is with a grateful heart (and some reluctance) that I have decided to retire from AHUMC Weekday School at the end of this school year. After 35 years of enjoying these precious children, it is with some regret, mixed emotions yet anticipation, that I am choosing to leave this sweet school. I do look forward to enjoying time traveling, volunteering and just “being!”

Hello and welcome to 2021. As I write this the sun is shining through the garden window - a blessing on this chilly morning. The 2021 Board of Stewards met on Saturday the 23rd for our annual orientation retreat and again for our first regular BOS meeting of the year on Thursday the 28th. We welcomed Dan St. Romain, Scott Boynton and David Kinder to the Board.
