Greenwood Fall Festival

For decades, Greenwood UMC has participated in the Food Donation Connection. Every Friday volunteers gather at 5:30 p.m. to organize food to be given away to our guests at 6:00 p.m. Greenwood currently gives away food donations from Starbucks, WaWa, McDonalds- along with staples and sometimes sundries to members of the community.

The Food Connection takes place in the education building (next door to the sanctuary building) on our campus. 

World Communion Sunday celebrates the unity and diversity of the universal Christian community. This year we will use a liturgy which incorporates breads from around the world and honors the unique experiences of Christian in different contexts.

​

The United Methodist Church is dedicated to nurturing diverse leadership by allocating funds for scholarships and leadership training for under-represented students. Last year, over $360,000 was raised to advance educational initiatives world wide. GUMC looks forward to contributing to this world-wide effort.

All are invited to bring pets- or photos of pets- tp receive a blessing at this brief ceremony. This service takes place on the church lawn and is a wonderful time to meet community members and share in our love of God's creatures. Everything from household pets to livestock animals are welcome. We will also have photobooth fun and pet treats.  We can't wait to see you and your fur-babies!

All are welcome to enjoy our "world famous" Brunswick stew sale, a silent auction, our homemade bake sale, local vendors and a huge yard sale sponsored by Aggie's Attic. Proceeds go to United Methodist Missions and Greenwood's operating budget. Come early, shop often, enjoy food and fellowship!
