Welcome to Vicksburg United Methodist Church

OPEN HEARTS. OPEN MINDS. OPEN DOORS.

Vicksburg United Methodist Church, a Registered National Landmark, is a beautiful, active church located in the heart of Vicksburg and has been serving the area in the name of Christ since 1840. The building, having been preserved in the village is a statement of faith to the community and open to many groups for their use. Each beautiful and inspirational stained glass window, enjoyed by all, proclaims a message of its own. If you are searching for an enthusiastic, caring congregation, we invite you to worship with us.

Vicksburg Blood Drive

South County Community Services will host a community blood drive for the American Red Cross on Friday, March 19.

The drive will be held in the Family Life Center at Vicksburg United Methodist Church, 217 S. Main St., Vicksburg. The Church facility is used as the blood drive site due to its spacious gymnasium and ample free parking. South County Community Services will coordinate the volunteers who help the Red Cross staff members throughout the drive. South County also will provide the food for the snack bar the blood donors visit following their donation.

The blood drive’s hours are 11:00 AM – 4:45 PM. Appointments are not required. A “double-reds” machine is scheduled to be there for those donors who are able to donate two units of red blood cells.

Blood donors must be at least 17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good general health. There is no upper age limit for blood donors.  Donors are allowed to donate every 56 days, so anyone who last donated blood on or before January 22, 2010, is eligible. And, of course, first-time donors are always welcome!

Donors should bring a photo ID, and their Blood Donor card if they have one.


The Vicksburg United Methodist Women cordially invite ladies to our annual Maundy Thursday White Breakfast to be held on April 1st at 9:30am in the Taylor Room. The speaker and program will be announced at a later date. Please RSVP the church office at 649-2343 by Monday, March 29th to reserve your place. If children will be accompanying you, please let us know how many and their ages so we can provide the appropriate number of child care providers. We look forward to seeing you there.


Scrip Fundraising

Scrip refers to gift certificates, or gift cards.  Our ScripCents program provides cards from HUNDREDS of merchants nationwide at a discount for us to sell at face value.  The difference is VUMC's profit. 

By YOU ordering ScripCents, not only are you spared from becoming salespeople for a fundraiser, you do not have to purchase any items that you don't want or need.  Simply order gift cards and use them for what you normally buy - like groceries, restaurants, books, clothes etc. So, no more peeler cards, gift wrap and chocolate candy bars!   By using same-as-cash scrip certificates to make your normal purchases, you do not need to spend any extra money, AND VUMC earns a percentage from every purchase you make!

Print a copy of the order form here or you can also find copies of the order form at VUMC's Welcome Center. Orders are placed on the 1st & 15th of every month.

Don't delay... order yours today!!!! All of VUMC's proceeds will help to pay our 2010 Ministry Shares.

VUMC is now participating in Walt Disney World's

Give a Day, Get a Day Program!!

In this program, non-profit organizations sign up to allow people from the surrounding community help with some 8 hour volunteer opportunity. Then, after completing their service, we will notify Disney and they will give the volunteer a voucher for one FREE day at any Walt Disney Park.

To learn more contact our main office. If your committee can think of some service that people could do for our church, let Laurie Nic know and there may be an opportunity for you to sign up volunteers for your area of ministry.
