LOUMC Photo Directory
It’s been SEVEN YEARS since we had a photo directory! Time for a new one! Appointments can be made online or by calling Pat in the office. Photo dates will be Friday, May 12th from 2-8 p.m. and on Saturday, May 13th from 10:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. AND we just added Thursday, June 1st from 1 to 6 p.m.
There are other churches nearby that are also having photo sessions scheduled, so if you can’t make those dates work for you, check with Pat and she can give you the info for churches in Pontiac and others. If you are not able to sit for a picture - or live outside of our area and join us online, you may submit a photo to be included in the directory. You are part of our family!!
Everyone who is photographed by Universal Church Directories will receive a complimentary 8 x 10 portrait and a photo directory. If you have other family or friends who wish to have a professional photo, they may sign up and do not have to be included in the directory. To schedule a sitting: Sign up in Fellowship Hall or go online to www.UCDir.com select Appointments on the right side of the screen, and type in our code “Mi1397” and password “photos” and select a day and time that works for you. (codes are case sensitive).

Calling All Graduates!!!
While we are aware of many of those connected to our congregation who are graduating, either from high school or college this year, inevitably there are folks whose achievements have slipped under our radar. Even if you are reasonably sure we know that you or your family member is graduating in 2023, would you PLEASE contact Rev. Linda Cochran, either directly at 586-549-8657 or through the church office at 248-693-6201, and let her know ASAP.
Graduation Sunday will be on June 4th, and we will honor each of our graduates and celebrate with them on that day. We hope as of many of them as possible and their families - and as many from you in the congregation - will come to be a part of that special day!
