Greeting Cards
Do you receive greeting cards in the mail from charitable organizations that you support? Cards that you don't need? On behalf of United Methodist Women, Peggy Griffin sends greeting cards to church family members each month - for birthdays, anniversaries, sympathy, graduations, and wishes for improved health. We are running low on our supply of cards. If you have any you'd like to donate, please call Peggy and she'll arrange how to pick them up. Thank you so much!!

We'd like to increase and deepen the ways that we can stay connected, especially during this time when we have to self-isolate. We plan to form a new group (or groups). In the September Newsletter we describe 2 possible books for study - Finding Peace in an Anxious World and The Workbook on Coping as Christians. We are also suggesting a "Share, Prayer, and Upper Room" gathering. These groups would most likely be on-line but possibly in person with prescribed masks and social distancing. Please contact Pastor Paul, Diane Lewis, or Linda Neate if you have interest in one or more of these possibilities.

Bailey Center and Learning Works:
Thank you to everyone who brought food and money for the Bailey Center & Learning works last week. We are collecting more now than we were before. What a great way to support our neighbors. We will be collecting again on Saturday, September 19th. From 9:00 AM until 1:00 PM for both the Bailey Center and Learning Works. Please see below for the specific donations Learning Works needs. Maybe this week you can give to Learning Works since we know they have many needs now. Or you can give something to both, whatever you can do. Bailey Center still needs canned goods, soups, pasta, cereal and peanut butter. Anything non perishable and nothing that will melt please such as Chocolate.
We are really using this opportunity to give back for all that we have especially during this difficult time. Jesus asks us to be disciples and help out those in need.

Contributions for Learning Works - For many years, under the leadership of the UMW of CVUMC, we have been supporting Learning Works. You will recall the Christmas Gifts and annual Fall school supply drive, among many other things. We recently received a letter from Learning Works indicating that they are struggling. Working to find ways to help their families as they fac  e job losses and financial hardship. If you would like, and are able, to help, we will be collecting donations every other Saturday from 9am to 1pm, alongside our collections for Bailey Center. In the immediate future, things that could most help Learning Works are
- Diapers
- Baby wipes
- Disinfectant wipes
- Hand sanitizers
- Cash
- Gift cards (groceries, gas, Target, etc.)
We all do what we can.....that makes us Family.
