Weekly NewsSunday Worship Service Vincent United Methodist Church will gather for worship this Sunday morning, November 24 at 10:00 a.m. on the Last Sunday after Pentecost and Thanksgiving Sunday.

LeDuc will share a children’s sermon and give the message “Thanks for Giving!” Every Sunday, nursery care and Church School for the children is available during the worship hour and a time of fellowship and refreshments follows the service. Vincent Church is beginning its annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. Members of the community are invited to participate by purchasing a bag or more of non-perishable food and dropping it off at the Church Office any weekday from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. by Friday, November 22. One possibility is to collect items that would be used for a Thanksgiving dinner. This would be a good family project. Last year, over 100 bags were collected. The donations will be given to the NFSB Food Pantry here in Nutley and CUMAC, a United Methodist Food Pantry in Paterson. Please give generously as these and all food pantries are struggling to meet the growing needs of the hungry in our area.
