UM Army Event
Dear UM Army Supporters:
The Bear Creek fires in September 2011 forced the postponement of this event, but we’re back on track and excited to have Scott Atnip, National Development Director for UM Army, returning to our district. Scott will be here at Linden UMC on Thursday evening, February 16, at 6pm. We’ll continue the conversation we began last summer, working together to strengthen the ministries of UM Army in our own district and beyond. We’d love for you to join us, and hope that you will invite enthusiastic laypersons from your congregation to come with you as well.
Appetizers will be served, prepared by Linden’s own Keenan Attatway, a culinary arts graduate and veteran of UM Army. We will appreciate your RSVP (to desiree@lindenumc.org) so that we might prepare appropriately for all who will be in attendance.
Please print this invitation (Click Here). It can be used on your refrigerator as a reminder. It can also be shared as an invitation to laypersons from your congregation.
I hope you’ll be able to join us.
Sincerely,
Rev. Kevin Young
Linden UMC
