💙 You Don’t Have to Grieve Alone.

Grief can feel isolating, especially when you're not sure where to turn. Chaplain Elaine Thomas knows that feeling personally - and after experiencing her own losses, she felt called to help others walk through grief with support and community.

This fall, Ardmore UMC invites you to 'Good Grief,' an 12-week grief group designed to help those who have experienced loss begin a healing journey alongside others who understand.

📅 Thursdays, beginning September 24
⏰ 10:00–11:30 AM
📍 Room 319, Ardmore UMC
📖 Based on Dr. Alan Wolfelt’s Understanding Your Grief
💙 $30 for the accompanying book and journal

If you've experienced a loss and could use a safe, supportive community, you are welcome here.

To register, sign up online or contact the church office at 336-723-3695 or Chaplain Elaine Thomas at 407-883-0948.

🚲🛴What a BASH! 🛴🚲

Last week, we rolled into a whole lot of FUN at our Back-to-School Bike Bash!

We loved seeing so many friends cruising in on bikes, scooters, skates, strollers, wagons, and BIG WHEELS! There was sidewalk chalk, popsicles, lots of smiles, and the absolute PERFECT weather for an evening outside! ☀️🍧🖍️

Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a fun night, and especially to our amazing VOLUNTEERS! We had a blast - and we're already thinking about doing it again! ✨

🌿☀️ What a SUMMER on the PRAYGROUND! ☀️🌿

We’ve spent the summer worshiping outside, making friends, singing, laughing, learning, praying, and discovering that God’s Big Backyard is a pretty amazing place to worship!

From muddy mornings to sunny Sundays, silly games to meaningful moments, our PRAYGROUND has been filled with joy, energy, and SO many wonderful kiddos and families.

A HUGE thank-you to every family who joined us, every volunteer and worship leader who made Sundays special, and everyone who helped create a space where kids could play, pray, worship, wonder, and grow together! 🌱

We’re wrapping up our summer with lots of happy memories—and we’re excited for what’s next!

Starting Sunday, September 6, Kids & Family Worship is moving back indoors! The fun, faith, friendship, and BIG joy are coming with us… we’re just adding a roof! 😉

Thank you for an unforgettable summer in God’s Big Backyard! 🌈

Help us celebrate our amazing TTWS preschoolers, their families, and our incredible teachers as we kick off another wonderful year! 🎒🍎📚

Yesterday, our youth put their faith into action!

Our students spent time preparing food and snack bags to be shared with people in our community who are experiencing food insecurity or homelessness. It was a simple way to serve, but an important reminder that small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

We’re proud of these students for showing up, serving others, and being the hands and feet of Jesus in our community. 🙌

This is what it looks like when faith moves beyond the walls of the church! ❤️
