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. While it’s cold out, it will almost certainly be soup! 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!
Newsletter. If you have any information you would like included in the newsletter please submit it to technology@yadkinvilleumc.org by the 23rd of each month for inclusion in the upcoming newsletter.

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.
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.
