Upper Room News

We have reduced the number of Upper

Now devotionals starting in March.  We ask
for all those who take a devotional to
please donate the amount it costs us.  
Each large upper room cost $1.36 and
each small one is $.95.
Important Church Changes

As you know, we have been working on plans to merge the
two churches, Northern Boulevard and Glenwood Park
United Methodist Churches.  As a step in this process, the
Conference has “yoked” the two churches together.  
Rev. Sarah Wimberley will be the pastor for both churches.  
What this means is that each church, still an entity of
itself, will have a half-time pastor.

A few changes will need to be made.  One is the weekend
schedule, at both churches.  For Northern Boulevard, the
Sunday morning schedule will be Sunday School at 9:30am
and worship at 10:45am.  This will take effect in July.  

The Saturday evening service will continue as it is
at 5:30pm.  July 4th will be Rev. Sarah’s first Sunday
in the Northern Boulevard pulpit.

Revs. Sally and Randy have been appointed to the First
United Methodist Church of Braymer and Breckinridge United
Methodist Church, and Hale United Methodist Church,
respectively.  They have enjoyed serving here, and wish
everyone well, as all these changes take place.
Welcome Rev. Sarah Schofield Wimberley
as the new paster at Northern Boulevard
