Annual Thanksgiving Community Meal

Planning for our Annual Thanksgiving Community Meal is well on the way.
Due to Covid19 pandemic, our Thanksgiving dinner will be Take-out only.
There won’t be indoor dining this year. 

We are thankful that we could continue to serve our community during this difficult time with inflation and
pandemic.
We will be serving the Thanksgiving take-out meal on November 24, 2022

New Office Administrator

As of October 24th we will have a new office administrator at LMUMC.  Her name is Randi Hoy, and some of you already know her as a volunteer at Lake Lunches, where she has served since the pandemic began. From her volunteer work with us, she is already familiar with our church, many of the people, and its programs; she has office administration, operations, and management skills from working with many different types of people and in a variety of work environments; she is confident, motivated and strikes as being a quick learner.  We give God thanks for the work of the SPRC and our new Office Administrator, Randi Hoy. We welcome her and pray for her ministry with us. (From SPRC Chair, Juliet Hannafin)
