Greetings!
Our Church Council is gearing up for the fall and there is excitement in the air! You will be hearing more as our teams continue to offer refreshing and meaningful opportunities for fellowship and outreach.
JULY 9 & 10
Don't forget that tomorrow (Friday, July 9) we need a few folks to help sort the food delivered by Second Harvest. You are also invited to join us Saturday, July 10 anytime between 7:30 and noon as we share food with those in need.
July 13 (6:30-8 PM)
You are invited to represent GUMC at a Citywide Assembly of Congregations and Citizen Organizations at Dillard University Chapel at 2601 Gentilly Blvd. Click here to register.
July 18 at 10 AM
We will send a group to St. Mark's UMC to prepare a hot meal for the homeless. It has been over a year since we have been able to worship and serve the homeless population in the area. The rest of us will gather at Gretna UMC for 10:00 worship - in person or on Facebook Live - offering a special prayer for those serving at St. Mark's.
