Communication Forums at WUMC HERALD Articles are due on the fifth of each month to Sherri Haines. This publication is for events one to two months, out. So right now, if you are preparing an article, you should be looking at church events in November.

BULLETIN Notices are due on Tuesday at close of business to Sherri Haines. This information should be for the upcoming two weeks, or so (definitely not a month or two out, as that info is best suited for the Herald). Submissions should be no more than 75 words.

WEEKLY E-HERALD NEW PUBLICATION Forward info to Sherri Haines by close of business day on Wednesday. This will be sent to the entire church on Thursdays, via email, and the email will also be placed on our Facebook page. These are time-critical events and news related to this coming weekend in our church and ministries. Item for submission should be brief, of 50 words or less. The office does not keep a suspense file. Please make your request in a timely fashion.

WEBSITE and FACEBOOK Submissions to the website can be for any future date. The website will be placed on any and all correspondence of the church. Facebook is really only good for shorter-timed updates but there is an events feature that can be used to invite people to special programs in the church. Only those subscribed to our Facebook page get this news.

October is Clergy Appreciation Month!

More than a Hallmark moment, the United Methodist Church designates October as a month to focus on the

limitless and tireless ways clergy serve their congregations and

God. You are encouraged to express your appreciation at all times, but this month you may want to say or

do something a little special.

And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
