Service. Love. Commitment.
The Bible tells us in John 3:16 that, God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him won't perish but will have eternal life. God's promise of eternal life means we will always have a place in God's heart, that there will never be a time when we are forgotten or away from the presence of God, and that Jesus' life and death is not the end of all things. God's love is more powerful than anything, even death. God invites each of us to believe in Jesus and his good news of saving love, grace, and forgiveness.
In Proverbs 16:3 we discover a powerful message, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans."
Community Outreach:
Parents' Day Out
Hamilton UMC Parents' Day Out offers a Christian environment in which children can work and play happily together. The program was established in 1979 by members of Hamilton United Methodist Church as an outreach ministry and service to our community. Our vision is to meet the needs of the community by providing a child care service for pre-school age children. We strive to prepare them for public school while emphasizing our Christian beliefs as the foundation for our children. We offer two separate programs. One meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while the other meets on Wednesdays and Fridays. Our day begins at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 2:00 p.m. For information regarding Parents' Day Out, please contact the church office at (615) 361-7210
