SUMMARY:UMCOR Sunday
DESCRIPTION:UMCOR Sunday is one of six churchwide Special Sundays designated to support ministries and causes important to the entire United Methodist Church. On this day\, we support the United Methodist Committee on Relief—better known as UMCOR—the disaster response and humanitarian relief agency of our church. \nWhen people face crisis—whether from natural disaster\, conflict\, or hunger—UMCOR is there to help. But that kind of response doesn’t just happen. It requires trained staff\, reliable systems\, and the ability to act quickly and compassionately. \nUMCOR Sunday matters because it sustains that foundation. By covering UMCOR’s administrative costs\, this Special Sunday makes sure the Church is equipped to respond whenever and wherever help is needed—without delay. \nWhen we support UMCOR Sunday\, we’re not just reacting to emergencies. We’re making it possible for the Church to be a consistent\, trusted presence in moments of urgent need. \nYou can give by check (write UMCOR Sunday in the memo line) and mail to the church or online at UMCOR Sunday.

SUMMARY:Parenting Group - Building Resilience in Children & Teens
DESCRIPTION:Our Parenting Group will resume\, and we will start the year with a great book:\nBuilding Resilience in Children and Teens by Kenneth R. Ginsburg with Martha M. Jablow.\nOver 8 weeks\, we will explore how to raise children that can be emotionally strong\, connected\, and rooted in love\, grounded in faith\, grace\, and community.\nBuilding Resilience in Children and Teens is a practical\, strength-based guide for adults who are raising\, teaching\, mentoring\, or caring for young people. The authors remind us that resilience can be taught and strengthened—it’s not something children either have or don’t have. Centered on the Seven Cs of Resilience\, the book offers everyday tools to help children meet challenges with confidence\, connection\, and hope as they grow.  This group is a supportive space for parents and caregivers to learn together\, share honestly\, and be reminded that we don’t do this work alone. \nMeeting Dates:\nFebruary 2\, 9\, 16\, 23\nMarch 2\, 9\, 16\, 23\nTime: 6:30–7:30 PM\nLocation: Room 207\nChild Care: Provided \nYou may also join online via Zoom. To receive the Zoom link\, please email Susan Adam-Rita. All parents and caregivers are welcome.
