Barrington UMC has been a crucial part of the response to food insecurity in our region through the produce grown and harvested in the congregation’s garden, community meals cooked and shared, and partnership with the FISH food pantry. Those who have participated know the joy of being part of a team answering God’s call to feed the hungry. The unprecedented need among our neighbors due to COVID-19 gives us a new opportunity to serve at the Northern Illinois Food Bank.

Our congregation has reservations to help with sorting and packing at the Geneva Warehouse on Tuesday, January 19, 1:00-3:30 p.m. We invite you to give prayerful consideration to making this part of your offering of time and talent. Please register each person separately, and each person will receive a confirmation and instructions. We need to submit a roster of names one week before the shift and will establish a waitlist for registrants who would still like to sign up closer to the date.

In-person worship in the Sanctuary and Sunday School for children ages 3 and up is available.
Due to limited seating, all attendees must register.

For anyone ready to return to in-person gatherings, you can be confident that we have taken necessary safety precautions to ensure a smooth transition back into the building. Our recorded online worship services will continue to be available on our website and our Facebook page for those that are not ready to return in person.

On days when the weather permits, our in-person worship will be held outside. All worship services (indoor or outdoor) will be available in the parking lot via our FM transmitter.

The church office remains open during the week, from 9:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m., to respond to emails and phone calls with any needs you have. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns. Although it will look different, we pledge to continue engaging in vital worship, vibrant faith and changing lives. As we do so, we ask you to be kind to each other and stay connected.

If you do not already use on-line giving, now more than ever, we need your help. In these challenging times, it is crucial we continue our mission and ministry locally and throughout the region. Checks may also be mailed to the church office: BUMC, 98 Algonquin Road, Barrington IL 60010.
