Easter Egg Hunt
Apr. 9

The Easter Egg Hunt will be here before we know it and we need your help! Empty eggs will be available in the Narthex and the Atrium beginning on March 13th. We are asking volunteers to take some empty eggs, fill them with candy, and return them to the church by April 9th. Please label eggs that have hard candy in them. Thank you for your help and support!

Additionally, registration for the Egg Hunt will open on March 13th. Look out for our link to sign up next week! Contact Erin with any questions at esmith@chambleeumc.org
Blood Drive Celebration

We hosted a blood drive this past Sunday. Thanks to all who participated. We also look forward to more opportunities to give blood here in the future. Here are some awesome stats:
Donors
Scheduled: 8
Registered: 13

Blood Products
Whole Blood Collected: 10 (10 x 3 = 30)
Double Red Blood Collected: 1 (1 x 6 = 6)

Total Lives Saved: 36
(every 1 whole blood donation saves 3 lives because it is broken down into red blood cells, plasma, platelets. every double red blood donation saved 6 lives because it collects 2 of each product.)​
Thank you for your continued giving and generous hearts! chambleeumc.org/give
