Sunday, October 3rd, Pastor's Installation Service
Dear church family, we are pleased to invite you to the Installation Service for our new pastor, the Rev. Dale Min. We rejoice that the Lord has led our new pastor to lead our congregation and we are looking forward to celebrating this occasion as the family of God.

This joyous event will take place during our worship service on Sunday, October 3rd, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. Raritan Valley District Superintendent Rev. Sang Won Doh will be joining and leading the service. We know pastor Dale is looking forward to becoming part of this community, and we would request also that you make this a matter of prayer that God will use him greatly in the years to come!

We have been blessed with a Dr. that has a background in infectious disease in our congregation. Under their advisement (from working with the CDC and the state of NJ all week), and the wisdom of our Church Council, the following will take place:

1. The office will be open if you need anything Monday-Friday during regular hours (9a-2p).
2. We will have something for worship online on both Saturdays at 6pm and Sundays at 10am. Saturdays we will have a devotional from Pastor Barbara and then I will deliver the sermon. Sundays will be the worship format with the hymns, prayers, and sermon. Every week you will be emailed a bulletin and the hymns so you can follow along.
3. If you are unable to join us, you can listen to the sermons online. We will make sure that the sermons are uploaded to this website (www.umcmilltown.org) by Monday at 2pm.
4. Every event at the church for the next two weeks has been canceled. This means: book studies, scouts, piano lessons, etc. This is for everyone's safety.
5. Pastor will be doing more videos and things digitally these nest two weeks, including partnering up with Pastor Matt from St. Paul's on Wednesday, so keep an eye on the church Facebook page.
6. I'm sure that everyone wants to know when this will be over. For right now, the plan is that we will gather again on April 4th for Saturday night worship. That plan could change. Please keep an eye on your email, we will keep you updated.
7. The sermon will also be uploaded to the church website so you can listen to it. You can go to www.umcmilltown.org/mediacenter.php to listen to the sermons.

If you have any questions, please contact the church office.

If you would still like to give your regular gift to help the ministry of the church, just go to the Giving web page.

Pop Tab Collection
The Sunday School would like your help collecting Pop Tabs from aluminum cans to support a program being run by the Ronald McDonald House of New Brunswick and Long Branch. The tabs can be easily removed by twisting them back and forth until they break off. A collection box will be placed in Friendship Hall where you can drop the tabs you save during the week. The collected tabs will be sent to the Ronald McDonald house and then sent to a recycling facility where they are sold by the pound. The money raised will be used to offset the operational expenses of this wonderful charity. Please help us!

THANK YOU

We would also like to thank everybody that came to wrap and load the gifts. Your help was greatly appreciated.
