We welcome Rev. David Geller as he begins his ministry at DeBows UMC. Please join us for Pastor David’s first Sunday on July 6. This will be a Communion service.
DeBows Food Pantry
The DeBows Food Pantry is open on the 2nd & 4th Monday each month, 5:45 to 7:45 PM. You may come anytime 5:45 to 7:45 PM. If you have any questions, please call 848-373-8844.
The Food Pantry Ministry serves 80-100 families twice a month. We are extremely appreciative of the volunteers that make our Food Pantry possible, and we welcome anyone interested in getting involved. Please send email to the Food Pantry Team if you need further information or would like to explore ways to help with the Food Pantry ministry.
PLEASE NOTE — Many of the food items distributed are obtained through our affiliation with the Fulfill Foods Bank program. However, some items we could use from other sources include toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, bar soap, and other hygiene items. If you would like to donate any of these items, please bring them to the church or call 848-373-8844. Please check the expiration dates on anything you donate, as we cannot distribute expired items.
There is also a continuous need for reusable shopping bags to facilitate the distribution of food. Any donations of clean, reusable shopping bags would be greatly appreciated. There is a receptacle to place donated bags outside of Fellowship Hall.

Fellowship Time
On the second Sunday of each month, we have Fellowship Time immediately after the 9 AM Worship Service. Everyone is invited to Fellowship Hall for this time of light refreshments and conversation; a time to catch up with each other and welcome visitors. Please join us!
Fellowship Time is volunteer driven. There is a sign-up sheet outside of Fellowship Hall. Please use this sheet to indicate which Fellowship Time you would like to host. “Thank You” to those who have already volunteered.
