Sanctuary
Remodel
The sanctuary remodel was a huge undertaking. The sanctuary was closed during summer of 2006 for the remodel. The final results are beautiful.
The summer remodel included painting, a new wall surface on the organ chambers, new lighting and a new video projection system. The project was mostly funded by donations and pledges from the members who deeply believe in the church and its missions.
Additional funds would help pay off the loan a little earlier, pay for new carpeting still needed, and pay for a needed video screen at the rear of the sanctuary. Donations are still being accepted for these items.

On February 24-26, Memorial's youth participated in the 30-Hour Famine to raise funds to benefit

SOUPER BOWL
OF CARING VI SCORES!
Memorial UMC's "Souper Bowl of Caring VI" on Sunday Feb. 5, 2006 was a huge success! Here's how it worked: First, during the worship service, there was a pep talk to stir up support about the Souper Bowl. As church members left worship service that Sunday, youth group members were waiting at the back of the church in football uniforms with soup pots to accept their donations. A total of $328.23 was collected! Every dollar collected that day is going directly to the local charity we care most about, Poverello House. We want to thank our church family for their continued support of this important mission. You guys are awesome!
How did the Souper Bowl of Caring get started, you ask? It's an idea started in 1990 by a church youth group in South Carolina, when they challenged their congregation to donate $1.00 each on Super Bowl Sunday to give to the needy in their local area. The movement is now nationwide, and to date has raised over $28 million! It is amazing what young people can do when they work together and with God!
