Learning to Pray...

Throughout Lent (the season of preparation leading up to Easter), we will be focusing our attention on prayer.  Stay tuned for more information about how you can get involved as we set aside this special season to grow in our understanding and practice of prayer.

World Mission Tour tonight!

The youth at Crenshaw UMC (Blackstone) are sponsoring a World Mission Tour tonight at 5:00 p.m. at the church.  There will be eight rooms set up with different mission opportunities including Friends of Barnabas, Edisto Indians, UMCOR missionary Clara Biswas' work in Cambodia, Operation Christmas Child (Haiti), Jamaica, Nothing But Nets (Africa), the Henry Fork Center, and the Southside Gleaning   network!  Each room will have information about the mission and food tasting of something that would be typical for that area of the world.  Admission for the Tour is a can of food that will be donated to H.E.L.P., a local emergency food pantry.

Kenbridge UMC Mission Fundraiser

New Church Plant in the Farmville District!

Based on the work of the Ameilia Thrift Store, a group of passionate men and women are going to begin a new church community in Amelia County to reach unengaged individuals.  More information to come, but please begin praying for this new church plant.  We have not had a new church in the Farmville District since the 1930’s, so this is an exciting time!
