On Saturday, Aug. 27, Columbus United Methodist Church will hold a homecoming for all those who served and were served by Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry (TBOM) between 1991 and 1998. Fellowship will begin at 3 p.m. A program will take place at 4 p.m.
A continued time of fellowship will take place after the program. Special guests at the program will be Eloise Thwing, Outreach’s first director, and Tony Sayer, the minister of Columbus United Methodist Church during that time.
TBOM began through the efforts of Church Women United. Columbus United Methodist Church provided office space for TBOM from 1991 – 1998. It also ran one of four food pantries. The other three food pantries were located at Green Creek Baptist Church, St. John the Baptist Cathoic Church and Tryon Presbyterian Church.
Columbus United Methodist Church is celebrating 50 years of service in Christ this year. As part of that celebration, the church will be highlighting mission work done throughout these fifty years.
Everyone is invited to attend.
The Columbus United Methodist Church is located at 60 N Peak St Columbus (across from Stearns Gym)
Attendees can bring food to donate to the TBOM food pantry.
