Valet Parking Now Available at 11:00 AM Service
The NMUMC Trustees are aware of the challenges experienced by our limited-mobility congregants when accessing handicapped parking. We will address this issue as we develop the site plan for the New Ministry Center. Meanwhile, we are adding the option of valet parking for these individuals. To use this option: pull up to the front steps or the handicapped ramp of the sanctuary and turn on the vehicle’s flashers. An attendant will park your car after you exit the vehicle and will coordinate a pick-up time with you.
Thank you for your patience as we try to improve all aspects of our ministry campus.

Fresh Start Services
The Fresh Start Service Starts March 9th. This service will be held at 8:15 am at Fairview Chapel, 6802 Boyers Mill Rd, New Market 21774. The design for this service is for those who want to get an early start on their Sunday and those who are seeking an alternate worship experience. Acoustic guitar, prayer, a short inspirational message, and Communion will be highlighted. The service is designed to last 30 minutes.
FOOD PANTRY IS RUNNING LOW!
New Market United Methodist Church has a small food pantry we keep stocked for those in need. We are reaching out to you asking for donations to get us through the next few months.
Some Guidelines:
Do not buy “giant size” or “bulk” of anything – they will not fit in the pantry Examples, are large packages of diapers, toilet paper or paper towels. If you buy them in bulk and the paper products are individually wrapped we can put a few out at a time. Do not get “giant” size paper towels – they take up too much room. Large cans of anything usually won’t be picked up.

Look around where you are sitting today. What bounty brought about by God do you
see?
Wednesday (10/22)- Jeremiah 14: 7-10, 19-22
