Special Friend for January
Everyone likes to be remembered, cared for, and reminded they are loved, so each month we recognize special friends in our church family who need a little extra care and would love to receive your cards, calls, and visits.

Church Handbook 2025
It is now time to update our church handbook and your updated information is needed.

Even if you think you have already told her, please tell her again to be sure. New handbooks will be printed and placed throughout the church in January 2025. Watch for emails and announcements to know when they are out.

Talent Show
LUMC will be holding a Talent Show in the Fellowship Hall at 2:00p on Saturday, January 25th. We are looking for talent of all ages to perform! If you are willing to share your talent with us, please email the church at [email protected] and sign up. We hope to have lots of our talented member join us! And if you don’t want to share a talent, be sure and come to the show and see those who do!
Sunday Flowers in the Sanctuary
A new year, and a new flower chart has been posted on the church office door. If you would like to remember a birthday, anniversary, baptism, in-memory-of, or any other special occasion, this would be the perfect opportunity for recognition. The cost of the two arrangements on the altar is $86 for both.
You may sign up for a Sunday on the poster or call the church secretary and let her know which Sunday you are interested in. It will be printed in that Sunday’s bulletin who donated the flowers and for what reason (if any).
You may also make a donation to the Flower Fund in any amount in lieu of specifying a week. Checks may be dropped into the offering plate (Flower Fund in the memo line) or mailed to the church.
The church will pay the florist bill. You will make your check out to LUMC and put “flowers” in the memo line. You can either pay ahead or pay during the month you recognize a Sunday.
Wanted: Streaming Tech
A couple months ago, our great streaming tech Ralph Newcomb had to step down from his position when he got a new job that requires him to work on Sundays (great for Ralph, sad for us!). I (Lauren) have been limping along since then, but we are in need of someone to run the video streaming on Sunday mornings. We are so grateful that we have folks who join us each Sunday for online worship-- we want to give them the best experience of church possible! If you are interested or have questions, contact Pastor Lauren at (336)623-3418 or [email protected]. Thanks!
Office Hours
The church office is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30a-2:30p and 8:30a-12:30p on Fridays.
For your safety, our church entrance doors will be locked at 10:15 a.m. on Sunday mornings.
