New Ministry Coming to MUMC

Transportation Assistance. 

We all need some help from time to time (and sometimes it is difficult to ask), so we would like to make that a little easier. If you are able to provide transportation for individuals to and from medical appointments, please sign up on the attendance pad. This will allow us to compile a list of those individuals who are willing and able to provide this type of vital support. By showing this type of care and concern for your church family you will be blessing someone else, and you will surely be blessed in return.

You may also call the office to let them know you are willing to help or Michelle Parker-Clark for more information.
