Service Opportunity:
The Offering Counting Team is looking for new members to assist with the collection, counting, recording, reporting and depositing of each week’s Sunday offering. It is completed following worship in teams of two and a calendar is maintained so everyone knows the days they are counting and who their partner will be. The process takes approximately one hour to complete. Attention to detail, accuracy and completeness are extremely important to insure correct documentation. Basic Excel skills are helpful, but not necessary. If you are interested, please contact Tom Wiggins financialsec@watervilleumc.org or (419) 304-2254.

May’s Mission Focus: Connecting Kids to Meals
The mission of Connecting Kids to Meals (formerly, Feed Lucas County Children) is to provide hot, nutritious meals at no cost to children in low-income and underserved areas throughout the entire year. As a nonprofit organization, we partner with community locations where kids gather during the summer months and throughout the academic year. Since we began operating in 2002, we have served over 6 million meals to hungry kids in need.
