(Last Wednesday of each month)

DUMC will be hosting Community Potluck Dinners on the last Wednesday of every month from 6:00 to 7:00 pm, beginning on June 25. This will be a similar format to the Lenten Soup Suppers. However, the meal and theme will change monthly.

A SignUpGenius will be sent out prior to each meal, detailing what the meal is and what food will be needed. There will also be a signup sheet in the lobby. If you can contribute in any way, please sign up for June HERE.

Our first meal will be a patriotic summer BBQ consisting of hot dogs, hamburgers, salads, baked beans.......and DESSERT!

If you have any questions or want to be on the planning committee, please reach out to Cindy Biehl.

We are looking forward to a fun event full of food and fellowship.

Hope to see you there!

This is a very rewarding ministry and not at all difficult. We’re happy to train you! See our SignUpGenius or contact Cindy Betancourt in the church office.

Flower Basket Waterers Needed

Do you have a green thumb? Do you enjoy the outdoors? We invite you to volunteer at DUMC!

We are in need of more volunteers to help water the flower baskets and urns around the church. We use SignUpGenius to organize the schedule as the flowers need to be watered every day. Each volunteer can pick the dates that work best for them between mid-May and mid-September. If you are interested, sign up here or contact Sheri Shifman. Thank you!
