One Week of Happenings Around Shalimar UMC
One of the most asked questions I receive is “what is happening with the church?” In this Beacon update, I will briefly list some of the happenings I am aware of around Shalimar UMC in just one week. You may be surprised this happened in only one week!
These are some of the things I am aware of happening throughout our church this past week. There is more that I missed, and I do not know everyone that meets in one week in our church. As you can see, we are coming back in-person as a church! Even more important is the beautiful spirit in our congregation right now! We are moving forward, renewing, offering new initiatives, and I believe that our church will finish very strong in this most bizarre year! Thanks for all you are doing in being the church at its’ best right now! Shalimar UMC has loyalty and resolve! And best of all, we serve an AWESOME GOD who is reshaping us even as I write this to be a stronger church for HIM!
Shalom
