Experience the city of Jerusalem tomorrow, Sunday, March 24, at Matthews UMC as you are transported back to Jesus' time. All ages are welcome to drop in anytime between 9AM - 12PM to experience the city with all your senses through this immersive and interactive experience.

The Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt event will be moving dates! The hunt will now be held on Saturday, March 30. This decision was made due to the inclement weather that is currently being forecasted in the area over the next couple days. Even if the rain stops midday on Saturday it will be quite wet and chilly, and it is important to United Kids that everyone has the best experience possible.

See you next Saturday, March 30, 6PM - 8PM!

United Kids, Matthews UMC Youth & Matthews United Methodist Church cannot wait to have a great time with the community! We are getting prizes, games, and so much more ready for everyone to enjoy!

We do have a special event update...due to the impending forecast United Kids wanted to make everyone aware that a Rain Reschedule Date has been decided on: Saturday, March 30, 6 - 8PM.
