Come enjoy a time of fellowship and ministry! The menu is beef stroganoff, noodles, glazed carrots, and vanilla cake. You can reserve and prepay for dinner at chambleeumc.org.

Backpack Buddies Pantry Restock Backpack Buddies is back up and running! This program helps to fill the gap for students who receive free/reduced lunch during the week from the school but need some help over the weekend. Erin Wingerson and Sheila Gillispie dropped off the first backpacks at Huntley Hills Elementary on September 16! The Backpack Buddies pantry could use some re-stock help – especially boxed milk, noodle cups, and small cans of vegetables. Our Amazon list has a more complete list of the items that we need. You can use the Amazon list to see what’s needed and then buy it locally and drop items off at church. Thank you for all of your continued support for Huntley Hills Elementary!!

Disaster Response and Refugee Aid As followers of Jesus, we are called to care for our neighbors. We have compiled several practical ways you can give to those in great need in this season on this page of our website.

Immigration Forum - Last Week! We are situated in the midst of a diverse city with 34% of the population having been born outside of the United States. As United Methodists and as Christians part of our witness is to offer love and hospitality to the sojourner and to seek unity in our common call to follow Christ. You are invited to join Chamblee UMC for a four-session exploration of immigration and faith in partnership with El Refugio. September 29, 2021 – “Gospel Without Borders” Viewing and Dialogue We will meet virtually on Zoom. Please fill out the form HERE and you will receive the link to participate.
