Thank you, KUMC, for your generosity!
Your Fill the Stable gifts raised just over $1000 for Heifer International. We were able to provide 1 sheep, 1 goat, 1 trio of rabbits, 6 hives of bees, 3 flocks of ducks, 8 flocks of chickens, and 2 flocks of geese. We also provided 2 shares of a heifer, 4 shares of a water buffalo, 3 shares of a llama, 2 shares of a sheep, 7 shares of a goat and 1 share of a pig.
Your gift is multiplied through Heifer's principle of Passing on of the Gift in which
each recipient must pass on to others some of the offspring of the farm animals they receive. This practice ensures that each participant in the program becomes a donor, enhancing dignity and participation in each project. Passing on the Gift also helps communities to become self-sustaining.

The members of the Living the Questions Adult Sunday School class invite you to join in a study of John Wesley and Methodists, the beliefs and actions that started the group of believers called Methodists.
The class will consist of some readings, some presentations, and an extended dialogue about what it means to us today. Travel with us from Epworth, Lincolnshire in 1703 through time attending Oxford, during ordination in the Anglican church, on a trip to the New World in 1735 to preach in Georgia, and onward to return to England, Aldergate Street, and the continued the development of a group of Methodists, in both England and America, as Methodism was born. Live the Questions with us in the faith journey.
We invite you to join us at 10:00 on Sunday mornings in the Wallace Classroom.

Who wants to come hang out with some awesome youth?!?
We are in need of adults to help with Youth Group. Can't help every Sunday? That's ok! Help when you're able. We have to have a minimum of 2 adults each Sunday for Safe Gatherings ratio so that gives us an opportunity to have lots of adults impact the lives of the kids in our growing youth group!
Can't help on Sundays? You can support our youth by providing meals and snacks.
If you'd like to volunteer or want more information, please contact Alissa Villarreal at childrenandyouth.kumc@gmail.com or 361-441-4206.
