Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. Lent is a season of forty days, not counting Sundays, which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. It is a season of repentance and preparation for the coming of Easter and a time of self-examination and reflection.
Ash Wednesday Observances:
The bible study group meets every Tuesday in Fellowship Hall, 10:00 – 11:30 AM. Please contact Anita at 848-373-9304 or Christine at 609-847-6421 for more information.
Current Topic: Book of Romans
Please bring your own bible and check your email and the church calendar for any exceptions to the meeting schedule. Everyone is welcome to attend. Please note this is an “in person only” bible study. We look forward to seeing you as we gather for study & fellowship.
The DeBows Food Pantry is open on the 2nd & 4th Monday each month, 6-8pm. DeBows uses an “Appointment Only” system to distribute the food. To make an appointment, call 848-373-8844.
Participants need to call for an appointment by 5:00pm on the Saturday prior to the scheduled food pantry day. This gives the Food Pantry volunteers time to prepare the food for distribution. “Thank You” for your cooperation.
Please contact Pastor Scott if you need further information or would like to volunteer 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 peanut butter, pasta, beans (not green beans), and brownie & cake mixes. If you would like to donate any of these items, please bring them to the church and place them on the table outside of Fellowship Hall. Please check the expiration dates on anything you donate, as we cannot distribute expired food items.
We record our worship services and post the videos on YouTube. Each Sunday, the recording of the 9 AM worship service will be available soon after the completion of the service. You may use the below link to view the worship service videos on YouTube. Once on the DeBows UMC YouTube channel, please subscribe, so you will receive future notifications when new live events or other videos are posted on the channel.
