FIFTH SUNDAY POTLUCK! TODAY we will have our 5th Sunday potluck in the family life center immediately following worship. This is always a great opportunity to share a meal and fellowship together.
Monthly Mission Focus: For the month of June our Mission Focus is Apportionments. You can make a check payable to YUMC, with a memo “Apportionments” or an online donation by choosing the “other” category and type “Apportionments” in the note section. See page 11 and the bulletin insert for more info.
Yadkin Christian Ministries. YCM is in need of cereal, cooking oil, fruit, peanut butter, canned meat, crackers soup, macaroni & cheese. Baskets are in the Commons for your contributions. (YCM Food pick up for Sunday, July 6, 2025 is Rich Pizzuti.)
ReNew with Connect Clothing Closet. The closet has special summer days and hours: Wednesday, July 2nd, and Saturday, July 26th. If you would like to sign up to volunteer, sign up in the office or use the QR code.
Fireworks on the lawn. YOU are invited on July 5, 2025 around dusk, to join us on the back lawn (Cherry Street) for fellowship and desserts, while we enjoy the Town of Yadkinville's fireworks displayed in the night sky over the Yadkinville Elementary School’s football field. Remember to bring a chair and a dessert to share! (July 5th is not a typo! The town opted to have the fireworks on the 5th.)
NETworX Yadkin. Join us on Monday evenings beginning at 5:30 pm for NETworX programming. We would love to have you join us as we explore what it means to live a holistically well life. We will garden, can, cook, and discuss deeper issues such as healthy relationships, how trauma affects our lives, what divides us as people, and strive to connect on a meaningful level. We are still searching for meal sponsors so if your group would be willing to donate a meal, please contact Crystal.
Nursery. If you would like to serve in the nursery, contact Sidney Matthews-Gunnell (336) 416-9160.
Friday Night Dinners @ The Parsonage! In 2025, Jonathan and Keri (and the boys by default) are experimenting with hosting weekly dinners at the Parsonage! Each Friday night (that we’re in town) we’re committing to having a small group of folks over for dinner. All of you church folk are formally invited (we’ve also extended the invitation to our local friends and some of the community organizations that we are members of). You can find more information, and sign up to attend here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r_DB5dJqvUhJ901CENfpI-6qbrAz3x7vIBJ1VJDYqeA/edit?usp=sharing) or contact Keri or Jonathan to find a date that works! We’re asking folks to sign up, so we know who to expect and are able to take account of any dietary needs. Feel free to bring your friends and neighbors! Looking forward to another year of community with you all!
Share your stories of Yadkinville UMC: We want to collect stories of Yadkinville UMC and you have them! If you have a personal story or memory that you are willing to share please let Pastor Jonathan know. You don't have to write it down you just have to tell it! If you have any pictures of YUMC over the years we would love those too, we will scan them and give the original back. We are especially looking for stories of: The Hobsons & other influential members, experiences of worshiping in the Old Sanctuary, Times the church faced difficult decisions, meaningful Holidays, times the church served well, what it was like when the old sanctuary/ education building/ sanctuary was built, and times you have encountered God through Yadkinville United Methodist Church. Let Pastor Jonathan know if you would be willing to share your story.
Leadership Team. The Leadership Team meets every third Wednesday of every month at 7:00 pm in the John Classroom. Our regular monthly meetings are open to all members of the church. Because your voice matters, there is a designated time for YOU, our church membership, to ask questions, to communicate with the Leadership Team, or to just see what is happening with the church management. Our next meeting is JULY 16, 2025. If you would like to read the minutes of our meetings, see the budget, or YUMC’s Guiding Principles, visit www.yadkinvilleumc.org/members (password: YadkinvilleMember). Your 2025 Leadership Team is: Janet Culpepper (Chair), Lori McCann, Maureen Silvernale, Nick Gunnell, Oz Prim, Jim McGrath, Sandy Steele, and George Bissette.
