When: Sundays beginning June 4, 4:00 - 5:30pm

Where: 309

Summer is supposed to be a time of R&R, right? But how often do we let it get away from us, finding little time for rest? Join Deacon Troy for a discussion of Walter Brueggemann's Sabbath as Resistance: Saying No to the Culture of Now (please, read the Preface and Chapter 1 before the first session). We will consider how Sabbath is really about becoming a whole person and restoring a whole society. For more info, contact Deacon Troy Sims (tsims@williamsburgumc.org or 757-229-1771, x258).

Our WUMC Trustees invite all youth and their families to a beautification project on the church campus!

Youth will work with adults to learn painting skills and grow in relationship with each other in this intergenerational opportunity. Lunch and fun refreshments will be provided!  RSVP to Zach Griggs at zgriggs@williamsburgumc.org to let us know you're coming!

A Bible Study

Where: Fellowship Hall and Sanctuary

This month, we will encounter the Israelites as they wander in the desert, wondering how God will provide for them as they search for a better life after leaving Egypt. How will God transform their grumbling into an experience of grace? 

We hope you'll join us for this time of play, worship celebration, and sharing a meal together! 

When: Saturday, June 17th at 8:30am

Who’s up for chips and guacamole!? Mark June 22nd down on your calendar and head over to La Terrazza on Richmond Rd for the next opportunity to contribute to the many missions of WUMC’s United Women in Faith.

La Terrazza will be donating 20% of the proceeds from the evening back to UWF to be used for local and global outreach.  

It was so fun to walk through Sal’s (our last fundraiser) and see so many familiar faces. We look forward to doing the same later this month! We can do SO MUCH together!

Our church is one of many who will be partnering with Meals on Wheels and the Greater Williamsburg Outreach Mission to provide healthy lunches for 300 children living in local motels and low-income apartments this summer.

Please help us collect juice boxes, fruits, and snacks that will be included with the bag lunches each day.

Items to be collected are below and can be brought to our volunteer desk for placement in our collections closet:

• 100% juice drinks and Kid V8;

• (No Sugar Added) fruit cups, pudding cups and applesauce;

• granola bars (NO NUTS) and packaged cheese crackers;

• snack-size crackers, chips, pretzels, raisins;

• zipper sandwich bags.  

Monetary donations can be made by check payable to Williamsburg Area Meals on Wheels (subject line: Summer Meals for Kids) and placed in the Local Outreach mailbox.  Thank you for your generosity!

We’re also looking for volunteers to help pack lunches and bake cookies for the Summer Meals for Kids program. There are several slots still available in August, so please check your calendars and click here to sign up if you’d like to help with this vital ministry.

In our community there are many families living in motels, without access to kitchens.  The Crockpot Meal Ministry is a partnership between Greater Williamsburg Outreach Mission (GWOM), FISH, From His Hands, local motel management, and area churches to supply the resources needed for these families to prepare nutritious meals.

Every other week, volunteers use provided recipes to assemble ingredients and additional items for two nutritious meals, and deliver them to these families. You DO NOT prepare the meal, and any expenses can be reimbursed through Global Outreach if requested. If you would like to be a part of this ministry please Click here to sign up.  We would LOVE to hear from YOU!!

We are resuming our Global Outreach Mission work by sending two 2023 teams to Carolina Honduras Health Foundation's clinic in Limon, Honduras to provide much needed healthcare to local residents.

The Summer Team will be the week of July 7 - 15, 2023

• Pharmacist
