Kenwood United Methodist Church

After 8 years of serving Kenwood UMC so faithfully, Pastor Beth is being transferred.  In honor of her dedicated service, we will be hosting a farewell luncheon on Sunday, June 10 (Pastor Beth’s last Sunday), right after worship. All are invited to attend to say good-bye and wish Pastor Beth well as she embarks on her new appointment at Welborne UMC. Please bring a covered dish to share (main or side dishes only).  Dessert and drinks will be provided.
