From... Pastor John

 With great sadness, I share with you the news of two deaths, one in our church family and one in our extended family.

Betsy Love died early this morning (May 8) at her home in Woodbury after a long illness.  All of us who knew Betsy can testify to her zestful and creative life.  Our hearts go out to Betsy's companion, Larry Kaine, and to her family in other places.

Paul Weber died last night (May 7) at his home in Hardeeville, SC, after enduring many years of physical challenges.  Paul was the long-time friend of Joy Eusebio, who served as his primary caregiver.

Both Larry and Joy wish to express gratitude for our congregation's prayerful support during this difficult season in their lives.

Memorial services for Betsy and Paul are pending.

 Whether you are a regular worshiper with us, an inquirer from the Woodbury area, or an Internet surfer from a faraway place, we invite you to become acquainted with our church’s ministry and mission and become a part of it. 

WUMC’s motto is, “Love Is Spoken Here.”  We seek to bear witness to God’s love and demonstrate our love for one another and for the world.  Love is spoken here in many ways – through worship, pastoral care, personal relationships, small group studies, mission projects, and intercessory prayer, just to name a few.  

In this section of our website, I’m sharing a message of love on a daily basis by means of prayers and reflections from a variety of sources.  I hope you find them to be meaningful, and that they strengthen your sense that you are dearly loved by God and by our church family.
