Opportunities for learning, mission and worship

As I end my time as Director of

Children and Youth Ministries, I want

to say thank you. Serving the children, youth, and families of Gibsonville

United Methodist Church has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. And

while God has called me to continue my ministry in a new place, I will always

be grateful that He allowed me to serve here during this season.

Over the past four years, I have been

blessed to witness children discover God's love, ask big questions about their

faith, build lasting friendships, and grow into young disciples of Christ. None

of that would have been possible without this congregation. Thank you to the

volunteers who faithfully gave their time, the parents who entrusted me with

their children, and every church member who offered encouragement, prayers, and

support. You have not only invested in the lives of our young people, but you

have also helped shape and strengthen my own faith journey.

Gibsonville UMC has been my church home

for more than 20 years and it will remain so even with this change. I leave

with confidence that God has wonderful things in store for this congregation

and for its children and youth. May God continue to bless each of you as

together you share His love with future generations.

Love to you all,

Michelle Rash

Join us for Family Day on August 2nd, 2026! We will have a combined worship service at 10 a.m., followed

by a meal in the fellowship hall presented by the United Women in Faith. If you

would like to make a donation in honor or memory of your loved ones, please use

the order forms found at each entrance during July.

Thank you to everyone that

supported VBS! On behalf of the children who attended our Rainforest Falls

Vacation Bible School this year, I want to thank everyone who helped make the

week possible – whether through volunteering your time, bringing your children,

your financial contributions, or praying for all of those involved. I know that

the memories made and lessons learned, will remain in the hearts and minds of

these children (and the adults who volunteered!) for years to come.       

Our Summer Sandwich Ministry will begin on Tuesday June 16th

at 6:30 p.m. when we meet to prepare bags for distribution. On Wednesday, June

17th we will make PB&J and cheese sandwiches beginning at 9:00 a.m.

and deliver them immediately after completion. Last year we delivered an

average of 150 sandwiches each week. Volunteers

are needed for all activities. 

Please consider donating your time as well as items to stuff the bags.

The items needed include creamy peanut butter, grape jam, single serving fruit

cups, single serving bags of chips and juice boxes. Monetary donations are also

needed. We will serve our surrounding community every week throughout the summer, ending August 19th. If

you would like to help, use the QR code to sign up or see signup sheets on the

wall beside the storage room across from the kitchen.

Belong Groups will meet on July 21st at 10 a.m. & 5:30 p.m. Belong is a group spiritual

practice that strengthens relationships through communal discernment. Groups

last an hour or less and newcomers are welcome!
