This letter addressed to Marlow United Methodist Church was received in the mail July 27, 2009

Dear Members & Friends of the Marlow United Methodist Church,

We the people you help with your Food Pantry, want to tell everyone Thank you. It’s more than a simple Thank you, it’s more like “God Bless” each and every one of you.

Let me tell you how much your aid means to us. First of all it’s meals you can depend on, it’s a meal which otherwise would have been skipped. We also enjoy the fresh eggs, and feeding our family with proetin food. The Fresh Baked goodies are truly treats, a little sugar brings a smile to many faces. And as for the meal that comes along, is like the joy of eating out.

For the household items, truly a big help. Whether it be paper towels, toilet paper, tissues, dish soap, laundry degt, Q-tips and everything else that food stamps will not cover. (Those who are lucky enough to get food stamps)

As for food gift cards, can purchase Multi-Vitamins for the most needy children and elderly to maintane health. It also puts some meat and vegetable to the table.

Times are hard and the future looks even harder. So the gift of the Food Pantry, is a God Sent…for all of us. And pray that the spirit of the Marlow United Methodist Church, lives strong and well & forever.

In short, thank everyone for us, and know you are making a differents in many familys in town.

GOD BLESS,
A. Friend

History:

The Methodist Church (built in 1829) was a few rods west of the Old Meeting House (built in 1792) on Marlow Hill. In 1845 the Methodist Church and the Old Meeting House were moved down to the "plains" or Village. The Methodist Church was enlarged in 1866 and the Old Meeting House eventually became Jones Hall and was remodeled in 1881. Sunday morning services used to begin at 8:45 AM.

Pastor Info:

Pastor Eric Feustel

I have been active in many churches for as long as I can remember, but I never dreamed I would become a pastor. After a successful career in the restaurant industry, and later in outside sales and sales management, God changed my mind and called me into ministry. It had been nearly 30 years since I had been in college, but I took the step and enrolled in Boston University School of Theology in 2004, earning my Masters Degree in Biblical and Historical Studies.

Since graduating in 2007, I have served on the New Hampshire District Lay Speaking Committee and on the staff of the Grantham United Methodist Church . In July 2010 I was moved a few dozen miles south on Route 10 to the Marlow United Methodist Church . I have already found that this fellowship is a warm and caring group of Christians.

I am continually amazed as I study the Holy Bible to see how relevant its ancient words are to contemporary life. If you visit the Marlow United Methodist Church I know you will be encouraged in our worship services, included in our family atmosphere, and find avenues of service in the cause of Jesus.
