This Sunday

Pastor Alissia is away, happily decompressing with family. Rev. Jeff Gill is the guest preacher this Sunday.

Meals for Jeff & Gretchen Burkett

Jeff Burkett had quadruple heart bypass surgery on 8/19 and will be recovering at home. Some help with meals for the first few weeks would be very nice. It will encourage him, help Gretchen, and will let them know we're all rooting for a great recovery.

Centenary Methodist Church Meals On Wheels Program

Our Meals On Wheels Program prepares a sack lunch, a hot meal and a dessert five days a week and delivers them to our clients. If you know someone who lives in the Granville School District who needs assistance with meals one day a week to all five days, please contact: Centenary Church at: 740-587-0022.

What's Up with our Children & Youth

Nursery care is provided each Sunday in the UCG nursery.

Introducing:

Getting to Know You....Show and Tell with children's church!

The kids in children's church want to get to you know you better! Do you have something you can share? A collection, a talent, a story, something you love to do? It can be interactive, but doesn't have to be. If so, we would LOVE to have you as a guest speaker for children's church. We are looking for one person each month to join us so that we can grow in community together! Please contact Heather Long if you're interested! We can't wait to learn more about you!

The guest speaker is not a replacement for one of the two needed children's church volunteers! We still need two people with background checks (or who are willing to get one) each week with the kiddos, and are looking for a guest speaker as an enhancement.

Heather and the Christian Education Committee

Below is the Children's Church sign up for May through August!

We could use all the help we can get and the kids really love the volunteers!!

THANK YOU!

COVID-19 update: As of May 11, 2023, both the WHO and USA ended their declarations of Covid-19 as a public health emergency. We continue to trust in the love and goodwill of this community to care for self and neighbor with health and safety in mind. As such, we continue to defer to each individual’s conscience regarding the use of masks at UCG and will maintain our ‘mask only’ seating in the Sanctuary. Should you have any questions or concerns about our practice, please contact the church office.

A note from Columbia Gas: 7/17/2024

Hello,

Luka here with Columbia Gas. Just reaching out to share updates on the Columbia Gas project taking place in Granville.

For the last several weeks crews have been working on the Denison part of this project to get work done by the time students come back for class. Crews will continue to work at Denison through the end of the month and try to wrap things up by the first week of August.

Once crews wrap up work on Denison, they will then transition back to the Village limits to pick up where we left off. There is still some main line install left on Shepardson Court. Otherwise, the main line install will mostly occur from Plum working east on Broadway and corresponding side streets.

Service line replacements will continue to follow behind where main line is installed.

Restoration has caught up from where work in the Village had previously occurred. If there’s any outstanding issues, just let me know.
