THIS WEEKEND

MEMORIAL ROLL AND DEDICATION SERVICES

HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR RECOGNITION

PEACE WITH JUSTICE

HEIFER PROJECT

NEW THIS WEEK!

OKLAHOMA TORNADO

As communities in Oklahoma reel from the devastation of tornadoes, remember, The United Methodist Church has a system in place for responding through UMCOR.  UMCOR guarantees that 100% of your donation goes directly to the disaster. Please indicate UMCOR Advance number #901670 for the Oklahoma disaster in the memo or your check or on your love envelope if you would like to make a donation.

FUNDS NEEDED

Thank you to all who give so generously of your resources.  Unfortunately our April general fund income of $19,220 did not meet the expense of $25,720.  May is projected to also have a shortfall.  We ask that in the midst of the busy summer please remember to give as we work to accomplish great things for God’s kingdom. 

PEACE WITH JUSTICE

Peace with Justice Sunday is one of the six church wide Special Sundays of The United Methodist Church. Peace with Justice Sunday enables The United Methodist Church to have a voice in advocating for peace and justice through a broad spectrum of global programs.  Your Peace with Justice Sunday gifts change lives in places where the joy of knowing Christ is mixed with the tragedy of violence.

THIS WEEKEND IS HEIFER PROJECT COLLECTION

Heifer’s mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth.   By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, we empower them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self reliance and hope.   A special collection is taken the fourth weekend of every month. 

CHILDREN’S CHURCH

The next Children’s Church will take place on Sunday, June 16^th at the 9:00 a.m. service.  Children’s Church will be the children dismissed after the children’s time to go down stairs for 30 minutes of story, crafts, and games.  The kids can be picked up downstairs after the church service.  This will be an extended learning time for children ages 2 through 5^th grade.
