Ridgely United Methodist Church Charge

07/10/2026

Our church is investing in our parsonage and we need to make drywall repairs. This initiative will help us better serve our community and add great value to Ridgely. We are looking for companies that can deliver quotes and are hoping the community may help us find recommendations.

Today's scripture reading came from the Gospel of Luke chapter 15 verses 1 through 3 and versus 11 through 32. These verses speak on the prodigal son. What an incredible chapter! What can we all take away from this message? We all have a prodigal son in our lives? Whether it be your family or your friends how do you treat that prodigal son? Take this into consideration as you go forward in life and you meet with people who may be in active sin or who may need to see Christ in your life so they get back on the right path! Treat others like Jesus Christ commands us and use the example of the prodigal son as you go forward on this earth

Ridgely United is looking to improve the parsonage. We are hoping to call upon our community in an effort to gain estimates for the repairs. We are looking for drywall, paint, carpet and flooring needs. If you can recommend anyone that would be willing to look at our parsonage and provide an estimate for the repairs we would be greatly appreciative!
