Coming THIS THURSDAY (December 2nd) is the United Methodist Women’s Christmas Dinner. It will be held at 6:00 pm at the fellowship hall of Salem UMC. Come celebrate together with these wonderful ladies that have really made a difference in our church and in our community.

Costumed little ones (and not so little ones) came from all over Dent County and the surrounding area on Saturday for Salem UMC’s 4th annual Trunk-R-Treat event. The event was created to provide our mostly-rural population a safe and convenient was to place for families to enjoy Halloween activities. More than 3,000 of our friends and neighbors enjoyed a parking lot full of decorated cars, free food and photos, and lots of candy.
The organizers would like to thank the community for supporting the event with their prayers and donations and especially the hard work of the event volunteers.
Photos taken at the event may be downloaded free of charge from the Salem UMC website, www.SalemMoUmc.com or picked up at the church office within the week.

Thanksgiving is coming fast! You can start your giving of thanks by joining with our own UMW in supporting this year’s World Thank Offering. The event is called, “Break the Bank.” Salem has had the largest offering for the last few years – lets keep up the good work!
The World Thank Banks need to be turned into the office or brought to the meeting. The meeting is November 11 at 10:00 at the church. It’s a fun meeting because we get to separate all that money. Please come join us!!!
We pray, we give, and we send folks, but have you ever wanted a real taste of what our Missions Team experienced in Mozambique? Now is your chance!
Coming Friday, October 22nd at 6pm, YOU can come and share a typical Mozambique dinner and a presentation by the mission team that traveled to Mozambique, Africa this past summer. Come make ministry a part of you. You’ll be glad you did.
Salem UMC has been involved in the school book fair for quite a while. Have you ever considered volunteering to help actually put the books into kids’ hands? This can be a great way to see how your support actually impacts our community.
