Good Afternoon! This is a new web ministry from Pastor Stephen. Each week I will be sending out short highlights and reminders for the week. They will also be available on the church’s website, on the church’s Facebook page (search for “Providence Fort Washington United Methodist”) and on my blog (http://pastorstephen.blogspot.com).

Please let me know of anyone who should be added to this list and also if you want to have your name removed.

Food Pantry Sunday - November 14^th

During November we are making a special effort to keep the Oxon Hill Food Pantry well stocked. Please bring non-perishable food or money donations every Sunday this month. On Sunday, November 14^th we will bring our “first fruits” and lay them at the altar.

Surely God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid,

for the Lord God is my strength and my might; he has become my salvation.
