Members of MUMC,
This evening both St Mathew’s and Metairie each voted and agreed upon the merging of congregations.
We will have a final deconsecration service this Sunday at 9:30a (Jan 9, 2022) lead by the New Orleans District Superintendent.
After the service, if there are any valuables inside the church of personal importance, please confer with Board members to arrange pickup.
At this time we do not know specifically how much longer we will continue to have access to the building prior to the transfer of the property.
We are of the understanding that our inventory has been offered to other United Methodist churches within the area but none were able to take anything due to limitations on storage.
Please continue to pray for the people of Metairie UMC, while we have great hope for the future we also acknowledge there is grief and pain in this process.
With Love,
Christina
