Funtimers Financial Seminar
The Funtimers have scheduled a financial seminar on retirement issues. We are pleased to announce that Jamie Dugo, a financial advisor with Edward Jones, will make this presentation. The topic is “Retirement: Making Your Money Last” and she will also update us on the new tax laws that went into effect last year.
Please join us on February 6 at 10:00 am in the meeting room in the Christian life center. Coffee and snacks will be provided. The sign-up sheet is in the Mission Hall and the deadline is February 5.
Contact Dianne Tannery if you have any questions.
Holy Land Trip is October 19-28
As part of our focus on the journey through the Bible, Salem is leading a team to the Holy Land with Educational Opportunities. We invite you (and any friends and family) to join us on this Bible Land Exploration program that will expand our knowledge of the Bible and this sacred land. You will learn why scholars refer to the Holy Land as the “Fifth Gospel.” Our journey will take us to places that were key in both the Old and New Testaments.
For more details, itinerary, and registration forms, please pick up a packet outside Jenny’s office. Please join us for this experience that will truly impact your faith journey.
Check the church website, the Facebook page or e-news for the link to register online.
2020 Lenten Devotional
Our theme this year is “Angels Among Us.” Angels are everywhere, every day, in persons, places, dreams, visions and even in us! They are God’s messengers, telling us and showing us God’s love and purpose for our lives.
If you would like to submit an entry for the devotional, you may choose your own scripture or use a suggested one from the sign-up sheet in the mission hall. Please keep your words to 250 or less and email it to jenny@salemunitedmethodist.com by February 2. You may also place your finished work in the slot marked “Lent Devotions” in the church mission hall.
