Songs of Praise
Shouts of joy and victory abound! The Lord has done mighty and wondrous things! God has conquered sin and death once and for all time. Let us proclaim the good news with joyous hearts. Jesus Christ is risen today! Alleluia! He is risen indeed!
Did you know it takes 40 adults volunteering each Sunday to run Sunday School for the children of the church? The children's ministry team needs adults of ALL ages to help show God's love to the next generation! There are needs from everything from teachers in the classrooms, storytellers to greeters at the sign in desks. There is an opportunity for every interest and time commitment! Please contact Rev. Jenna Kennedy (jenna.kennedy@dunwoodyumc.org ) or Megan Batcheller (megan.batcheller@dunwoodyumc.org) to find the perfect place for you. Sunday mornings are a perfect way to help fulfill the baptismal promise we make to each child to raise them in a Christian environment.
