Our Sister Church in Brazil
For many years we have supported our missionaries to Brazil, George and June Megill, and continue to support and keep in contact with our sister church Engineiro Pedreira. This photo is of some of the church members, George Megill (in the suit) with his arm around Pastor Osmani, and wife June Megill in the center back. Our missionaries are now retired and we are very happy to have them living in Raleigh, North Carolina.


Zack Tree Ministry
(Group Homes)

Friday Night Pizza and Movie

For a fun diversion and great fellowship, we gather monthly to eat and to watch a good movie.

Children's Fellowship UMCF
Are you between 3 years old and 5th grade? If you are, we would LOVE to have you join UMCF. (United Methodist Children's Fellowship)

When do we meet? We meet once a quarter. Watch your newsletter for times/events. 

What do we do? We have lots of fun while learning of God's love for us!!! We have the Back-to-School Bash, pizza & movie night, play games, do crafts, take field trips (we have been to museums, bowling, putt-putt, a farm, etc.) and go Christmas caroling. We have dinner and lots of great fellowship together at our meetings. We have also done some service projects, like collecting toys & making goody bags for children at the hospital, baking cookies for Kairos Ministry, and collecting pet food for the SPCA.

How can you join in on the fun?- Just come to our meetings! We would love to have you!!! If you have any questions, please contact Theresa Weybrew or Fran McDonald.
