Come join our church’s, “Family Reunion” and worship together in fellowship and love.
We have rented the pavilion, at the park, which is some distance away for the parking. If you need assistance getting to the pavilion, we will have people on hand to help get you to the worship space safely. Also important, please make sure you bring some water to stay hydrated, a lawn chair if you have one available (there will be some other chairs and benches), and please follow the park policy by bringing your mask.
What a joy it will be to worship together in person once again! I can’t wait to share it with you. As always, if you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Pastor Dan at pastordan@mountclemensumc.

All training events will begin at 9:30am and end at 11:30ish. Anyone who works with children, youth, or vulnerable persons (this includes the Warming Center) must have this training. The exception to this are those who only come in to cook and serve the evening or morning meal. If you work with intake, security, or stay overnight, this training is required. There is a sign-up sheet on the window across from the Library. There will also be a sign-up genius link sent out via email so you may sign up online as well.
