Revival Sunday
DeBows UMC is rebranding their once-a-month casual worship service as Revival Sunday to better convey the nature and spirit of the service. We will be leveraging the talents of our musicians and their affinity toward bluegrass and old-time Gospel music. There will be plenty of familiar music presented to encourage congregational singing.
The first Revival Sunday Service will be on Sunday, April 22nd at 10:00am. Starting in May, Revival Sunday will be the last Sunday of each month. The energy of these services will revive your spirit and strengthen your faith. Everyone is welcome to join us for any of these uplifting services. We look forward to seeing you there!
Earth Day Observance
Sunday, April 22nd is Earth Day. The first Earth Day was celebrated in America on this date in 1970 and is credited with raising awareness of environmental issues globally. Today, over 1 billion people in 196 countries observe Earth Day each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world.
Being good stewards of God’s creation is also a social principle of the United Methodist Church, which in part states, “All creation is the Lord’s, and we are responsible for the ways in which we use and abuse it. Water, air, soil, minerals, energy resources, plants, animal life, and space are to be valued and conserved because they are God’s creation and not solely because they are useful to human beings.”
Earth Day serves as a good reminder that we need to be environmentally responsible every day.
