Thank You!
A huge thank you to Myrt for donating the funds to purchase the Shueyville UMC bags for the Easter Carnival. Myrt's generous donation was made in honor of her husband Clayt. Also, thank you to all of the people who donated candy and eggs and the volunteers who helped hide eggs and run the stations for the kiddos. It was a huge help and really showed how well SUMC does loving our kids and the kids of our community.

College Care Packages
If you have a son or daughter that would appreciate a finals care package please submit their name, address and school by April 21st to at  Sue Slattery There will also be a sign-up sheet at the Welcome Center in the church  lobby.  Financial donations to help  offset the cost of the postage are  always appreciated and may be placed in the offering or dropped off at the office.

Lawn Mowing Volunteers Needed
Trustees are looking for volunteers to mow grass this spring and summer. If you are looking for a way to support our church and see immediately what you have accomplished, this is a way you can do that. Sign up to mow the church lawn for a week, a couple of weeks, or whatever time you can provide to this need. Sign-up sheets will be in the church lobby. Trustees can show you what to mow and how to run the mower. There are two mowers available so bring a friend or spouse and complete the job in half the time! If you are not able to mow, sign up to donate $100 toward hiring a lawn service to mow for you. Contact a trustee if you have questions.
                           Thanks, Rick Less

Coordinating Our Building Use
Are you needing a place at the church for a committee meeting or event? Please note that ALL scheduling of the building's use must be cleared and scheduled through Julie in the church office. This is not a "permission" issue, but we do need this central location for keeping track of the building's activities (we are thankful to be able to host a growing number of Boy and Girl Scouts this year!). Just drop an email or phone the office (848-7213), so there are no surprises. Thank you!
