We want all to feel welcome and safe in our worship services. Some individuals may choose to wear a mask. Please respect their choice and be sensitive to those who prefer to wear masks.

• On Sunday, Sept. 13, the Adult Sunday School class will begin meeting at 9:15 am. The class this year will be led by Connie Fleming as we delve into the scriptures for each Sunday. See you in room 205.

Many individuals in the congregation would love to come and support our youth in their activities. We are putting together a digital calendar and a physical hallway calendar in the church so members can look and see what activities are happening. If you would like your child's activities to be posted on this calendar, please send Sam Beck at familyministry@adaumc.org your child's schedule for the sport or activity. We are only putting home events on the calendar at this time. If you have a picture of your child in their activity, Sam can post that next to the church hallway calendar as well.

We are going to focus on our favorite Scripture passages in worship throughout September. Pastor Andy is runnng a survey to find out what your favorite is! Click here to submit your favorite scripture, or send it via email to the church office at info@adaumc.org Thank you!
