Welcome to Avondale UMC!

Thanks for joining us for worship.  Giving our time, talents, and money is our natural response to an understanding of the generosity of God.  We invite you to share your information with us so we can share opportunities with you about the church and our ministries.  Then use the links below to submit a prayer request, donate to the church online, or volunteer to serve.

Prayer Requests

Scripture reminds us to pray without ceasing and to allow others to pray for us when we need it.  If you have something you’d like for our pastor or the prayer team to hold in prayer, click the link below and let us know.

Invest in God’s Work

Financial gifts to the church go to support the ongoing ministry and mission we are carrying out in our community.  You can give online now by clicking the link below.

2026 Giving

Our 2026 stewardship theme, A Generous Love, invites us to reflect God’s love through our giving. When we share what we have, we join in the ongoing story of generosity that transforms lives within and beyond our church. Your pledge is a tangible way to live out love as we work together to fulfill our mission—to connect with one another, to grow together in faith and love, and to serve the world for Jesus Christ.

Trick or Treat + Fellowship Lunch

We’ll be celebrating Halloween with some Trick or Treating on our front lawn after worship next Sunday, October 26.  Adults are encouraged to bring candy or goody bags for the kids to collect.  All children and adults are invited to dress up in their costumes.  Afterward, we’ll enjoy lunch together in the Fellowship Hall.  The main dish (fried chicken) and drinks will be provided.  Please bring a side dish or dessert to share.  Click below to let us know what you’re bringing.

Altar Flowers in Worship

If you’d like to sponsor a floral tribute on the altar in worship one Sunday, click the link below to sign up and our florist will handle the rest.  You’ll be able to note if you’d like the flowers to be in honor or memory of a loved one(s).  The cost is $50 each Sunday.  If you have questions, reach out to Susan Harvill (susan.harvill1252@gmail.com).

Homeless Ministry Needs

Our Homeless Neighbors often need items to take with them.  We’ve created an Amazon wishlist to make ordering and delivery easy.  You can access that using the link below.  Or you can purchase items to bring to the church.  The wishlist includes:  deodorant, travel shave cream, men’s disposable razors, and underwear (most prefer boxer briefs in size medium).  Drop off items weekdays from 9am-12pm at Avondale Samaritan Place, or you can bring them to worship with you on Sunday morning.
