New Newsletter Format

Leave a Comment

Coming May 2, 2018

Starting on May 2, 2018, the church newsletter format and delivery method will change. We are moving away from our monthly .pdf distribution format, to a new bi-weekly, subscription based email newsletter. To receive the new bi-weekly newsletter, you must subscribe using the sign-up form located at the bottom of the church website.  This is an easy, one-time process. Please subscribe by April 30, 2018 to ensure you receive the first edition of the new newsletter; unless you sign-up, you will not automatically receive the newsletter going forward.

We hope the new bi-weekly format will provide dynamic and timely content to help keep the DeBows UMC community of faith connected and well informed.  We look forward to seeing you on our mailing list – subscribe today!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Leave a Comment

Officially, March 17th has been set aside by the church to honor St. Patrick, the 5th century patron saint of Ireland, due to his considerable efforts in establishing the Christian faith in that country.  One story says he used the three leaf shamrock to help explain the concept of the Holy Trinity.

However, what began as a religious feast day in the 17th century has in large measure evolved into a secular holiday, embellished with stories about leprechauns, green beer, rainbows, and pots of gold.  Those of Irish decent everywhere celebrate their heritage.  Many people of non-Irish decent become Irish for a day and join in the festivities, which often include wearing something green that day.

In any event, enjoy the day and may the luck of the Irish be with you.

February Hiking Pictures

Leave a Comment

The DeBows Pathfinders took a trip to Double Trouble State Park in Bayville, NJ on Saturday, February 10th. It was a cloudy, but warm February day, with temperatures in the 50’s. Some pictures taken during the hike can be viewed below. The next Pathfinders hike is scheduled for Saturday, March 10th. They will meet at the church at 10:00am and then go to Allaire State Park.

Our Mission is to make disciples for Jesus Christ by proclaiming Him as Lord and Savior, and with the help of the Holy Spirit, be His representative in our community through worship, education and service.
