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.
Changes to the 9:30 am Service this Summer
The 9:30 AM service will look a little different this summer! Thanks to a generous donation from the owner of Deicing Depot (Anthony Bishop’s employer), we’ll have access to an event trailer throughout the season. The trailer will be placed on the Fossett property (just east of the Sanctuary) and will serve as a home base for the service—housing all necessary equipment so we no longer need to set up and tear down each week.
Attendees will have a couple of options:
- Drive-in style: Designated parking spots will be available in the grassy area for those who prefer to stay in their cars.
- Lawn seating: Others are welcome to park in the lot and bring lawn chairs to sit in front of the trailer.
This outdoor service will take place every Sunday during the summer, except for the first Sunday of each month, which will be held inside the sanctuary. As always, if there’s a threat of rain or extreme heat, we’ll move the service indoors.

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.

gifts.

Monday (7/7)- Amos 7: 7-17
Why is God using the metaphor of a plumb line? How might you “be out of
plumb” with God’s word today? Ask for forgiveness and start a new path.
Tuesday (7/8)- Psalm 82
In what ways might we show partiality toward the wicked? In what ways
have we ignored those weaker than us? How can we change our ways?

How have you been blessed by your generosity toward others? Who could
benefit from your generosity today?
Thursday (7/10)- Psalm 25: 1-10

are you for the Lord forgiving the sins of your youth?

difference?
