• Easter Fest

   

                UPDATE

  Due to ongoing COVID restrictions and cautions, Salem UMC’s Easter Fest will be done differently this year. Instead of hosting an Easter egg hunt at the church you have the opportunity to sign up for a pre-made basket filled with goodies and crafts. Pastor Becky will record the Easter story using the resurrection eggs and that video will be shared on Facebook Palm Sunday weekend. 

   If you would like to order a basket for any child, grandchild, neighbor, or friend please email Sally Simpson by March 19, 2021 at shsimpson56@gmail.com. Baskets can be picked up at Salem on the breezeway on March 26th from 4-5:30pm. If you are unable to pick up baskets at this time, please contact Pastor Becky or Sally Simpson (919-738-7329). 

   We hope this reimagined way of celebrating the Easter story with you and your family will be spiritually uplifting and enjoyable for all. 

   If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Becky.
