SOS! Food Pantry needs your help!

We host a weekly Food Pantry here at Union UMC in partnership with Common Heart, every Thursday evening. Lately though the amount of regular food donations has been dropping while the needs are growing (triple the number of families coming compared to last year).  So we are sounding the alarm and asking for your help!

-  We are actively accepting any non-perishable donations, which can be dropped off here (see the photo, there's a donation bucket by the church bell and is checked daily).  If you have any frozen foods you wish to donate, specifically any frozen meats/protein, please contact Pastor Brad HERE and he will arrange a time to meet at the church so we can get any donations in our freezers.  Thank you for your help and please share the news for the needs this season are great.  Blessings to you all.

Special Worship Music Video!!!

You may have seen on social media (FB & IG) that we had a special praise service at The Groome's Place recently.  The service and music was professionally recorded by Silver Fox Productions and is currently being edited and produced for you to enjoy and share as we speak!  Our Praise Band is amazing and these series of videos will show you how, plus they're so much fun to listen to that you'll be able to enjoy the music and worship on your own!  The videos will be featured on the Home Page and on social media, so stay tuned!
