MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID WORKSHOPS
Wed., December 3 & 10 | 6:30 - 7:30 PM | Chapel Annex
How can we support mental health - for ourselves and others? Join us for a two-week seminar co-hosted by The Well on the basics of mental health first aid, taught by mental health practitioner Elizabeth Danielian, LCSW. Elizabeth will share foundational knowledge, basic skills, and essential resources to support our efforts to care for the mental health of our community.
ELVES’ NIGHT OUT

Drop off your children, ages 3 years - 5th grade at ESUMC for an evening to check-off your Christmas lists and give your kids a fun night out! Crafts, games and dinner will be provided.
LOVE FEAST (Servers Still Needed!)
Sun., December 7 | 5:00 PM | Sanctuary
Mark your calendars! The Love Feast will be held again this year on Sunday, December 7, 2025, at 5:00 pm. Becky Ogburn and Brenda Farlow will be leading our volunteer team of servers. This year we will need thirty-four servers.
What does it look like to be a volunteer? Servers should gather in the Sanctuary on Sunday, 12/7 at 3:00 pm. This will include training prior to the service as well as wrapping of the Love Feast buns. Servers are asked to wear white on the top, and black on the bottom (pants or skirts are acceptable!) We encourage both youth and adult servers to sign up.
Important: Servers do not need to sign up in pairs. Individual servers will be assigned a partner by the team. Please note, members of the Wesley Ringers will be leading worship at the Love Feast and will not be available to act as servers.
WOMEN’S RETREAT - ROOTED
January 30 - February 1 | Wrightsville Beach
I pray that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. Ephesians 3:17
Join us at the Lumina in Wrightsville Beach as we grow in faith through scripture, worship, prayer, music, friendship, and fellowship. Reverend Hope Ledbetter-Bock will lead us as we study what it means to be Rooted in a Larger Story.

PRAYER SHAWL GUILD
2nd Wednesdays, 2:00 - 3:00 pm @ Room 168
The Congregational Care Ministry is excited to announce the re-launching of the ESUMC Prayer Shawl Guild! The Guild knits and crochets shawls, lap robes, baby blankets, neck scarves, and hats to be given to those facing long-term illness, experiencing grief, being baptized, or to those who are a part of the White Flag Ministry.
Most of the knitting and crocheting will take place at home, but members will gather for an hour beginning at 2:00 pm on the 2nd Wednesday of each month in Room 168.
The first meeting will be held on April 9. All are welcome! A scarf or a shawl can be a very basic project, crafted with one simple stitch. Even if you have never picked up a needle or a hook, we can teach you the basics in less than an hour.
