Join us this Sunday to hear from Rev. Tobi Nguyen who will be preaching from the epistle to the Corinthians. In this passage, Paul tells us to "have the same mind". That's a hard one. How can we hear the words of Paul, and choose to be a community that has the same mind? We will be streaming online at trinitydurham.org or YouTube. The Scripture readings will be from Matthew 4:12-23 and 1 Cor 1:10-18. We hope you will join us!

Starting this coming Monday, Open Table Ministry will restart their Monday Lunches! They will serve lunch at a location just in front of New Hope Commons close to the intersection of 15-501 and Mt. Moriah Rd. in order to touch base with the homeless community who are outside of the downtown area. They are so excited to begin again with this important aspect of their ministry.

If you are interested in volunteering for this or would like more information on how to get involved, please contact Carolyn Schuldt directly by email or call the Open Table office line at 919-412-7011.

We want to be sure you’re aware of an upcoming volunteer opportunity on Wednesday, 1/25. You’re invited to join the OTM team as we support our community-wide Point in Time (PIT) Count taking place from 7:30pm – 11:30 pm. Be sure to mention that you’re with OTM when registering, so we can all be grouped together on the 25th (also – email Drew Woten directly to let him know you’ll be joining!). You can sign up below (please note that you’ll need to attend a Zoom training prior to 1/25).

On the first Sunday in February, we will have a New Members Sunday. 

If you have been considering joining the church, now is the time! Please set up a meeting with Rev. Tobi Nguyen in the next couple of weeks to come and talk to her about the next steps, and what joining the church will look like.  

To schedule a meeting, please email the church office, or give us a call.

We have a wonderful opportunity to meet the new bishop coming up on February 9 @ 7 pm. Mark your calendars. 

As the new year begins and we enter a new season in the North Carolina Conference, Bishop Connie Mitchell Shelton will be holding gatherings in all eight districts. These events will provide an opportunity to get to know Bishop Shelton as she begins serving as our new episcopal leader.

Corridor District – February 9, Mebane UMC 200 S Fourth St, Mebane NC 27302-2642

I bring you New Year greetings and blessings! I'm excited to let you know that Abingdon Press has published some of the curriculum I've written for Adult Bible Studies into a devotional book for Lent called Toward the Cross.  It's available on Amazon, Cokesbury, and wherever you buy or order your books.  My family joins me in wishing you a meaningful Lent and a glorious Easter.    

In Christ,

Taylor Mills
