Outreach
UMW Nurture Committee Needs You!
The Hudson United Methodist Women’s Nurture Committee is a vital ministry to the members of HUMC. The Committee arranges for meals to be provided to families that may need assistance with meals following a hospitalization, health issues or a new baby, etc. There are also times when we need someone to deliver a meal. We can also have an ongoing need and would welcome new volunteers to participate in this church-wide ministry.
If you are on the email distribution list, we thank you and hope that you will remain on the list. If you have not signed up to assist with a meal from time to time but would like to be added to the email distribution list, please contact Cheryl Gamble or the church office.
