Skip the bagged lunch today, it’s Friday! You deserve a hot, homemade meal. Stop by Chesapeake UMC today or tomorrow for our Chili Dinner Fundraiser. Today, February 13 from 11:00am-4:00pm, or treat your valentine to a warm bowl of chili tomorrow, February 14 from 10:00am-3:00pm.

We are back to our regular schedule this week! Even though it’s still cold and snowy, we will be having service tomorrow morning at Reynolds Memorial UMC in Marmet at 10:00am.

Come a little early and warm up with some coffee and donuts, and share some time with Pastor Sam before service. Coffee and donuts will be available at 9:30am.

The side entrance to the church will be cleared and salted, so please use that as the primary entrance. And as always, use your best judgment on traveling. If you have any concerns, please stay home and stay safe!

SERVICE CHANGE: Due to the ice buildup on the stairs at Reynolds Memorial, we will be having service tomorrow at Chesapeake UMC. Service will begin at 12:30pm to allow the temperature to warm up a bit.

Please use your best judgement on coming to church. The parking lot and sidewalks still have some icy spots. If you have any doubts about coming, please stay home and stay safe. Your safety is our primary concern, but we do want to open the church for those that are able to make it out to worship.

If you need anything at all, please don’t hesitate to contact us through our page, or by contacting Pastor Sam. Stay safe, and stay warm! You are loved!

Happy Thanksgiving from the Reynolds and Chesapeake UMC families!

Today we give thanks to God, the source of every blessing and the steady presence in every season. Let's pause to remember the One who fills our lives with grace upon grace and strive to make gratitude a way of living, an act of worship that shapes our hearts and strengthens our witness.

May this day renew in us a deep awareness of God’s goodness and a desire to share that goodness with others.

From our WVUMC family to yours:
May your Thanksgiving be filled with joy, peace, and the abundant love of Christ.

We are excited to officially welcome Pastor Sam McMinn and his family to Reynolds and Chesapeake United Methodist Churches! Please join us at 10:00 on Sunday at Reynolds UMC for Pastor Sam’s first service as we welcome him to the Marmet and Chesapeake communities. ⛪️

From Pastor Sam ~

Hi all! My name is Sam McMinn and I'm excited to join you as your new pastor! I was born and raised in South Charleston and currently live in Charleston with my wife, Katlyn, and two daughters, Eloise and Edith. I received a Bachelor’s in Religion from Trevecca University in 2016 and a Master’s in Christian Formation and Discipleship from Nazarene Theological Seminary in 2019. When I'm not working, I love to be outside, whether that’s taking a hike with my family, bow hunting in the fall, or golfing. I'm thrilled to minister to and with the people of the Glasgow-Riverbend Charge, and I'm excited to be a part of what God is already doing here. I believe God has big plans for us as He works in and through us to make us more like Jesus and to impact our communities together!
