BUS MINISTRY -
The Lord has prompted the heart of Joe Niemann and
we will embark on a bus ministry . On the first
Sunday of each month beginning December 2, 2007 Joe
will pick up those folks who are in need of
transportation to the 11:00 service. The route and
times will be developed as needed. If you are
interested in this service please call Joe,
410-956-6506 or the church office, 410-798-5511.
Thank you Joe! It is our hope this will allow some
of our seniors who don’t drive the chance to worship
at church again so if you know of someone who could
benefit from this ministry please call them.
AN OPPORTUNITY TO MINISTER - We would like to start a new ministry and
hope you will want to be a part of it. As new members and attendees join our
church we would like to have an established member ‘sponsor’ a family. By this
we mean to simply extend personal Christian hospitality to a designated family
by informing and inviting them to activities at church and to be available to
answer questions or offer direction on who to speak with about specific concerns
while they find their way around our church. If you would be interested please
contact the church
Office.
BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS - Last Sunday of every month.
CANNED GOODS DONATIONS - Your donation of canned goods are always welcome and
while we use some at DUMC the majority of it goes to
the Local Food Bank, where families can come in each week to
receive food
