THIS WEEK AT SSUMC

TODAY IS WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY  

On this Sunday each year we celebrate our participation in the world-wide communion of Christ. We also remember our shared call and renew our commitment to reach out to all people and model diversity among God’s children. 

FIRST SUNDAY REPLENISH RESTORE 

Please bring donations and place them in the shopping cart in the Welcome Center.  

Your donations support our partnership with Restore Food Pantry at Riverview First UMC and bring relief to hunger experienced by the most vulnerable in our community. 

LEAD WITH SOUTH SHORE UMC 

Please visit the table in the Chancel to register your commitment to lead with us in the new ministry year. This is your opportunity to put your skin in God’s plan as we are the Body of Christ together. We celebrate the commitments made last Sunday and anticipate more commitments today. I thank God for each of you and reach with you in hope to claim God’s preferred future for our congregation and community.
