Small group ministries - If you are a member of a small group, the Office needs to have a count of the number in attendance for the week of your meeting. You can report your attendance number to Linda S. at fumcadmin@1umclebanon.com Holy Communion and prayer - will be offered every 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Sundays in the Chapel between 10-11 a.m. beginning Feb. 5, 2012. This will be time of quiet prayer and receiving of the Sacrament with no formal worship service. You are welcome to come and go as you wish---staying to meditate or leaving to go to Bible study or other activities.
