R-TOWN CHRISTMAS STOREWe will be heading up the R-Town Christmas store again this year, working with Passion Community Church and Rootstown First Congregational UCC!
Last year we helped 23 families and over 50 children. These families are prequalified by the counselors at Rootstown schools and are in need of support this Christmas. This year, due to Covid, the store will be at Rootstown UMC in the Fellowship Hall and we will be providing childcare as needed using the youth room and nursery. We have decided against any food this year and gift wrapping supplies will be given to families but we will not have the full station. If you can help with registration, assisting families with shopping or with childcare, please let the office know. The store will be on Saturday, Dec. 12 and volunteers would need to be there by 9 am. We will also need help setting up the store on Friday Dec 11 around 6 pm. If you are interested in helping, please let the office know. An Angel Tree with gift tags specific to children from the families will be set up in by the Well by Sunday, Nov. 22. The three churches will be responsible for purchasing specific items requested by children. If you, a friend, or family member would like to shop before then for more generic items to stock the store you can visit this link and sign up for items. We need items off of this list to stock the store in addition to the specifically requested items from the families. Thank you all for your help with this ministry! All gifts will need returned UNWRAPPED no later than Dec 11. |
Many ways to worship! Join us!
Whether you worship in person, via live stream, conference call, or drive-in service we are happy to have you! Below are guidelines for indoor service.
- Per the governor's orders, face masks are required in public spaces, therefore while you move around the church. We have face masks available for those who do not have one. - We ask that you fill out an attendance slip as it is vital to track those who are here each Sunday should someone end up with COVID. Please put the pencil in the basket with your slip so another does not use it, these will be sanitized before being used again. - Please pay attention to the markings on the floor directing which way to go. This is to help maintain social distancing guidelines. - We ask that you sit every other pew and stay with your family unit. If you feel sick or are uncomfortable coming to indoor service, you can join us in worship via Facebook live stream service or come to the Drive-In service and listen from the parking lot. Tune in to 96.3 FM. United Methodist Church Updates:

Habitat of portage county Apostles Build
Apostles Build Story: Over the next several months, Rootstown UMC will be working with several other churches in the area to build a home. The groundbreaking ceremony was July 13, 2019. We expect to build the house and have a dedication in early 2021. Each church will have have a number of build days (mostly Saturdays) during which volunteers from our church can go help build. No experience is necessary, but volunteers do need to be age 16 or older. There are other ways folks can get involved besides helping to build. These include - help with lunches, fundraisers, prayer and many other things. If you are interested, please let us know! Check out the Facebook page for this build for more info!
