The mission team and United Methodist Women are working together to collect blankets for the homeless. If you have any blankets that you would like to donate you can bring them to the Church or if you would like to donate money to purchase blankets simply place “blanket donation” in the reference section of your check and drop it off at Church.

Our goal is to provide the 100 blankets that are needed by Monday November 17th It is a God Sized task and I believe we are ready!

On Saturday, November 22 in the fellowship hall will will be assembling thanksgiving food baskets for the needy. Brenda Marino and crew need your help, support, and prayers for this seasonal project in our community.

We are in need of the following donations: sweet potatoes; boxes of mashed potatoes; cans of corn, peas, or green beans; rice; stuffing mixes; cranberry sauce; canned gravy or gravy mix; boxes of cake mix and icing; desert mixes; dry beans; canned fruit; cereal; grits; juice; evaporated milk; peanut butter; jelly; paper towels; toilet paper; tooth brushes; deoderants; tuna fish; and kids snacks.

Join us on Sundays in the Fellowship Hall on the Saints away games for a viewing party on our large 18-foot high definition projection screen!
Bring your own chairs, beanbags, and snacks and join the fun and fellowship!
