During this time of global
pandemic, we have learned that
we are better together. In an
effort to create community and
connect with one another,
Connections Coordinator Linda Kimmel has created a
survey to gather information about individuals and families
at MUMC. The information will be used to help strengthen
our ministries and, with your permission, to create an
informal directory. You are invited to complete this 5
minute survey here.
FREE TIME ON YOUR HANDS? DO
YOU LIKE TO MOW LAWNS?
Summer will soon be here and we need
volunteers to mow the church grounds. If
interested, please contact the church
office or sign up on your connection card.
Thank you!

Collection Event for
Capital Area Pregnancy Center
Mother’s Day (May 10th) through
Father’s Day (June 21st) These past few weeks sure have been
different, but one thing that has not changed is the way Capital
Area Pregnancy Center (CAPC) is providing services for those in
need and saving lives! In “normal” circumstances, around Mother’s
Day you would have received a baby bottle for the Annual Baby
Bottle Blast event. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are unable to
use baby bottles this year. However, we can still support our
friends at CAPC! During this event, as you feel led, donations can
be made through checks and online. If you are able to give above
and beyond your regular weekly offering during this time,
please consider supporting this important mission.
To donate by check: please mail your donation to the church
office made payable to “MUMC” with Baby Bottle Blast noted in the
memo line.
To donate online: please use the “Give Online” link on our
website or the “Give Plus” App on your smartphone, and select a
one-time gift for Capital Area Pregnancy Center.
Donations may be made anytime between Sunday, May 10th
through Sunday, June 21st. Thank you so much and if you have
any questions or concerns, you may contact us by
email at [email protected]
Join Us in
supporting
CAPC!

Thank you for your generosity during this time of uncertainty. We
have been overwhelmed with the number of new online givers and

crucial role in helping us keep our financial commitments to ministry
and mission so that we can continue to be “Alive in Christ in our
community so that our community is Alive in Christ.”
