Other Events
The Committee on Lay Leadership (COLL) is currently developing the 2013 nominating slate for Charge Conference. If you believe you are called to serve in a particular Ministry leadership position in 2013, please contact Pastor Paul at 410-299-2570 before August 31st, 2012.
Volunteers needed! If interested in helping with the Grace UMC Food Pantry, please contact Sister Dahlia Leigh (http://www.blogger.com/%22http:/mailto:dleighkk@gmail.com%22) or Brother Dunrick-Sogie Thomas (http://www.blogger.com/22http:/mailto:dunricks@yahoo.co.uk%22). We need help on Fridays to transport and store food and on Saturdays to distribute food. Currently we only distribute food once a month on 1st Saturdays but if we have more volunteers from the Charge we can distribute food twice a month or maybe every Saturday.
Your financial assistance is needed! Grace UMC is currently behind on apportionments so don't forget to give over and beyond your normal tithe and offerings to our Apportionment Fund every 3rd Sundays so we can meet our Conference obligation. See the following link for more information on why it is vital that we pay our apportionments: http://bwcumc.org/whywegive
