Serve with us - Saturday, September 20

On Saturday, September 20, a team from Carlisle UMC will be visiting about 55 migrant farmworkers near Bendersville to share food, fellowship, and God's love. 

How can you help:
• Go with us! Meet at the church by 3:30pm to carpool. We'll return around 6:30pm
• Bake with love! We're also asking for volunteers to prepare desserts to bless the workers

This is a wonderful opportunity to show kindness, build connections, and be the hands and feet of Christ!

John Wesley was the original advocate for racial justice. We will talk about John Elford's book, "Our Hearts Were Strangely Lukewarm," which provides a portrayal of the Methodist church's complicated historical relationship with racism. We will discuss why it is important to understand where we've been in order to move toward a more racially just future. Led by Chris Benson.
