Herbstumc.org – Updates
If you haven’t been to our site, it continues to get mildly better. First, the Events page has been kept current, and it can be a good place to go to see all the events we currently have. Most recently, we’ve posted all the 2025 Sunday School lessons on the “Downloads” page. Want to get involved and show off your web skills? See Tom Marine, who is looking for help to make our site a great resource.
Let’s Pray
See an opportunity to pray … then pray. At an event? Pray. Comforting someone? Pray. You don’t have to make a spectacle of yourself … you can even pray silently. If you haven’t heard from someone in a while … given ‘em a call. Pray. Let’s all try to make this a practice that comes naturally and genuinely. Let’s pray.
