Save The Date:  AUGUST 13-19.  An EF-3 tornado ripped through the Evergreen/Appomattox, VA, area last February.  One man was killed, several people were injured, 20 houses were destroyed, and over 100 structures were damaged.  There is still much to be done to aid in the recovery effort.  TUMC will be taking a team to Evergreen, VA, to help with construction of new homes.  No experience?  No problem.  There will be work for all skill levels.  Please contact Debbie Spurling at 423-718-9177 or April Martin at 423-400-7924.

MARDI BRA
A huge THANK YOU to all who contributed to the "Mardi Bra" event for the homeless women of Chattanooga. We asked for help, and you answered with a resounding "Yes!" By stuffing the pink bins with items. In addition, in only 2 Sundays we were able to collect over $500 to purchase additional bras, underwear, and feminine hygiene products. When we dropped them off, the Salvation Army staff were so thrilled & grateful. THANK YOU!!
