First Fruits Farm
Plan to visit First Fruits Farm with friends from church and spend a morning harvesting produce. It is an easy, rewarding and educational service activity. GUMC's dates for this year are listed below. (All dates are Saturdays.) Volunteers depart from church at 8:00 a.m. and return to church at about 1:30 p.m. after a delicious lunch provided by Robin Krell. No experience is necessary and volunteers of all ages are welcome to participate. More details will follow as our dates grow closer. Mark your calendar!
A Social Gathering with Our Friends from Wards Chapel
You are invited, so save the date! Come for a special event on Sunday, September 24th at 3:00 p.m. in Dew Hall. Pastor Steven Cho and Pastor Dong Eun Lee will present their reflections on the Cho Family's Mission Trip to the UN Syrian Refugee Camp in Jordan. We have invited the congregation of Wards Chapel UMC to join us for a time of fellowship, as we learn about an important mission outreach project, Friendship Beyond Borders, at work helping children in the camp.
Both churches will be providing some desserts and fruit for the Get-Together. Not everyone needs to bring something. If you plan to attend, please add your name to the sign-up sheet in the lobby so we can plan accordingly. Come and enjoy time together with folks from Wards Chapel UMC, along with our two pastors, as they share their personal story of their mission trip to Jordan. If you have questions about this event, please contact Jan Bradley. |

"Service Sunday" - New Opportunities for Service!
In keeping with GUMC's motto, "Love, Pray, Serve", we will begin a new program in November that will provide regular opportunities for service to others throughout the year. "Service Sunday" will take place on the 3rd Sunday of the month during most months of the year and will replace the previous "Fifth Sunday" idea. Service activities will take place after the service and will vary from month to month. On the third Sunday of December (December 18th) we hope to deliver Christmas baskets to several families in need in the Glyndon/Reisterstown area. If you know of a family who is in need in our community, please let Pastor Dong Eun know. Join us for a variety of "Service Sunday" activities on 3rd Sundays throughout the coming year!

Monthly Mission Opportunities
Casserole Sunday: Our church has committed to provide casseroles once a month for Our Daily Bread, an organization located in Baltimore City that provides meals every day of the year for those in need to help prevent hunger. If you would like to help out, bring your frozen or fresh casseroles to our church kitchen (place in freezer) the last Sunday of each month, or any Sunday you would like to help. We will see they are delivered along with food from other churches in our community.
Food Sunday: The second Sunday of every month is Food Sunday, We collect non-perishable food items for delivery to the Community Crisis Center that serves surrounding communities of Glyndon, Reisterstown, and Owings Mills, helping those in need during difficult times. Bring your donated items to our church and place them in labeled totes and baskets located in our lobby as our congregation prays for those receiving these gestures of Christian love and support.
