Come relax, laugh and exhale in a safe place with other women of faith.  On Saturday, May 16, 2026 from 1 pm to 6 pm here at UMBC join us for an afternoon of Waiting To Exhale - Praise and Paint – a time for women to release, relax and be renewed.  You can expect Praise & Worship and a Painting Session to show your creativity.  There will be food, Sisterhood fellowship,  music and a special “Waiting to Exhale” Release Moment.  Women of all ages are welcome!  Bring a friend and come experience a refreshing time together. Please sign-up using the list on the table in front of the Office where flyers are also available.

Our Beloved Pastor James H. Nixon will celebrate his 81st birthday on April 21st. To honor him and show our immense gratitude for his many years of faithful service, leadership, and guidance, the Pastor’s Aid Ministry has organized a special "81 Card Shower" and would love for every member of our congregation to participate. Our goal is to present him with 81 Birthday Cards from his church family and friends, each filled with personal well-wishes, special memories, a favorite Bible verse, and/or a monetary gift to brighten his day and let him know just how much he is loved and appreciated. A beautiful Birthday Card box will be in the Lobby each Sunday for you to drop your card in or you may bring it to the Church's main office. We thank you in advance.

4pm-6pm

Children are one of God’s greatest blessings. It’s Important to help them grow in faith. Therefore, we are thrilled to announce our Children's Church! We cater to young minds to teach children important life lessons that will help them grow into healthy, responsible adults while teaching children about their Best Friend and Savior– Jesus! If you're a family with children ages 4 and up, this might be something you want to check out!

Thank you to our volunteers who make this possible. You are greatly appreciated, and we want to acknowledge and encourage you that serving in this area releases parents to be able to focus on the service and enjoy time together - so thank you! Again, CHILDREN’S CHURCH will be held EACH 3rd, 4th, & 5th SUNDAY for AGES 4 AND UP.
