More about our 2025 Capital Campaign
Yellow = $100,000 and above
Red = $50,000-$99,999
Purple= $25,000- $49,999
Orange = $5,000-$24,999

The New Ministry Center Giving Tree
The Generosity Team sought an alternative to a thermometer for tracking commitment pledges as they came in. Therefore, they developed the concept of the giving tree. The painted top of the tree symbolizes the $1 million in assets the campaign has already set aside. This includes the revenue from selling the parsonage/schoolhouse.
The leaves on the tree represent the dollar amount of each pledge. We follow the teaching of Jesus of the "widow's mite," and no names are displayed on the leaves. Every contribution matters. The New Ministry Center will have a place to honor those who contributed or those they want to memorialize.
The two branch stumps represent the two other attempts to add more space to the sanctuary and ED building, which did not come to fruition at those times.
As funds are pledged, the bark of the tree will grow. When a milestone has been reached, we will "tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree."
Giving Tree Pledge Total: $1,214,300.00
Commitment Pledges: $1,004,300.00
Commitment Estate Pledges: $210,000.00
Non-Pledged Donations: $64,137.00
Total Pledges & Non-Pledged Donations: $1,277,937.00

Outdoor Worship
Every summer since COVID, the 9:30 AM service has chosen to worship in the yard next to the Sanctuary known as the Fossett Property. Thanks (once again) to the generous donation from Anthony Bishop’s employer, Deicing Depot, we will have access to an event trailer for the outdoor 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 starting on June 14th, except for the first Sunday of each month (Communion Sunday), 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. You are welcome to bring your pets if they are properly leashed. We will have a Blessing of the Animals service on June 14th with a rain date of June 21st.

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.
Please drop off donations to the Ed. Building or in the back of the Sanctuary
