Valet Parking Now Available at 11:00 AM Service
The NMUMC Trustees are aware of the challenges experienced by our limited-mobility congregants when accessing handicapped parking. We will address this issue as we develop the site plan for the New Ministry Center. Meanwhile, we are adding the option of valet parking for these individuals. To use this option: pull up to the front steps or the handicapped ramp of the sanctuary and turn on the vehicle’s flashers. An attendant will park your car after you exit the vehicle and will coordinate a pick-up time with you.
Thank you for your patience as we try to improve all aspects of our ministry campus.
Changes to the 9:30 am Service this Summer
The 9:30 AM service will look a little different this summer! Thanks to a generous donation from the owner of Deicing Depot (Anthony Bishop’s employer), we’ll have access to an event trailer throughout the season. The trailer will be placed on the Fossett property (just east of the Sanctuary) and will serve as a home base for the service—housing all necessary equipment so we no longer need to set up and tear down each week.
Attendees will have a couple of options:
- Drive-in style: Designated parking spots will be available in the grassy area for those who prefer to stay in their cars.
- Lawn seating: Others are welcome to park in the lot and bring lawn chairs to sit in front of the trailer.
This outdoor service will take place every Sunday during the summer, except for the first Sunday of each month, which will be held inside the sanctuary. As always, if there’s a threat of rain or extreme heat, we’ll move the service indoors.

The design for this service is for those who want to get an early start on their Sunday and those who are seeking an alternate worship experience. Acoustic guitar, prayer, a short inspirational message, and Communion will be highlighted. The service is designed to last 30 minutes.
FOOD PANTRY IS RUNNING LOW!
New Market United Methodist Church has a small food pantry we keep stocked for those in need. We are reaching out to you asking for donations to get us through the next few months.
Some Guidelines:
Do not buy “giant size” or “bulk” of anything – they will not fit in the pantry Examples, are large packages of diapers, toilet paper or paper towels. If you buy them in bulk and the paper products are individually wrapped we can put a few out at a time. Do not get “giant” size paper towels – they take up too much room. Large cans of anything usually won’t be picked up.
Thursday (8/7)- Psalm 33: 12-22
What is true strength according to God?
Friday (8/8)- Hebrews 11: 1-3, 8-16
Is faith something you develop, or is it a gift from God? What scriptures are
you basing your answers on?
Saturday (8/9)- Luke 12: 32-40
What do you consider the treasures in your life? Are these treasures different
from 20 years ago? What made the change?
Sunday (8/10)- Worship in person or online.
Monday 08/11: Isaiah 5:1-7
God has given us every advantage, as He did the kingdom of Judah, and they
produced rotten grapes? What is our harvest going to reveal?
Tuesday 08/12: Psalm 80:1-2, 8-19
Like the Israelites, we humans have a knack of getting ourselves in trouble by
sinning and not obeying God. Is it right for us, then, to pray for restoration?
Wednesday 08/13: Jeremiah 23:23-29
Self-evaluation time: are you a false prophet or a true messenger when proclaiming
the word of God? If you believe it, you have to live it!
Thursday 08/14: Psalm 82
God gives authority to all of us; are we meting out the proper justice, compassion,
and fairness? If you say yes, explain; if you say no, explain.
Friday 08/15: Hebrews 11:29-40
Faith should help us turn around and do what is right, regardless of our past or the
disapproval of others. How is that working out for you?
Saturday 08/16: Luke 12:49-56
Jesus demands loyalty and commitment, sometimes to the point of several other
relationships. Are you willing to risk your family’s disapproval to follow the Lord?
Sunday 08/17: Worship in person.
