Flea Market – Concert

Leave a Comment

DeBows will host a Flea Market on Saturday, October 9 from 8 AM to 2 PM. Table space (no table) for vendors is $10. Please contact Sue via email or call 732-928-0352 to reserve a space or for more information.

Also, New Jersey’s own Libby Prison Minstrels are scheduled to perform at this event.  L.P.M. are a group of musicians dedicated to history and education through music. They have entertained audiences since the early 1990’s with programs that include music of the Union and Confederacy, stories of the Civil War period, humor, and the remarkable history of the prisoners held in Libby Prison during the Civil War. In addition to their C.W. presentation, L.P.M. share the life of 19th Century sailors through traditional Sea Shanty songs.

125 Years of Faithful Service

DeBows United Methodist ChurchDeBows had its beginnings in 1867.  It was then known as the DeBows Methodist Episcopal Sabbath School.  Christian education classes and worship were held in a small schoolhouse near the site of the present church building.

In May of 1896, DeBows was incorporated and officially became a Methodist Episcopal Church. Land was purchased at the current location and a new church building was erected.

You can see a complete history of DeBows and some pictures under the “About Us” menu tab.

Revival Sunday

Leave a Comment

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!

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.
