Easter Egg Hunt

We need volunteers! Sign up at chambleeumc.org/egghunt2022 to show love to our kids, their families, and our community!

Registration for the Egg Hunt is open at chambleeumc.org/egghunt2022.

Empty eggs are available in the Narthex and the Atrium. 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. 
Easter and Holy Week at Chamblee

Rise Against Hunger
Apr. 15, 6pm

Come help us pack 10,000 meals! Chamblee First UMC is hosting a meal packing event with Rise Against Hunger which distributes food worldwide to help feed communities hit the hardest with food insecurity. Chamblee First has hosted this event many times in the past and we’re looking forward to hosting it again after taking a COVID break. This is a family-friendly event and children as young as 4 years old are welcome accompanied by a parent. Registration is required.
UMW Lenten Food Drive
Through Apr. 15

The UMW is sponsoring a canned food drive to benefit Malachi’s Storehouse. Any canned food is appreciated, but the particular need is for proteins (tuna, chicken, beef stew, peanut butter, etc.). Hygiene items (toothpaste, shampoo, soap, etc.) are also welcome. These can be hotel sample sizes. Please put your donations in the carts that are in the narthex and atrium.

Get to know Associate Pastor Stacey Rushing a little better this week!
Tiger Store Restock
Through May 15

The Huntley Hills Elementary Counselors are asking for some help with restocking the Tiger Store – an initiative to encourage positive behavior by giving students Tiger Bucks for positive/good behavior and the students get to “spend” their Tiger Bucks in the Tiger Store. An Amazon list has been created if you’d like to contribute.

If you have any questions, contact Sheila Gillispie. Thanks for your continued support of our local elementary school!
VBS
Jun. 13-17

Registration is open! Visit chambleeumc.org/vbs2022 to register.

We need your help for VBS! We are currently searching for classroom teachers, craft leaders, science leaders, recreation leaders, music leaders, greeters, photographers, and floating volunteers. If you'd like to join us in the most exciting week of the summer, contact esmith@chambleeumc.org with which position you'd be interested in serving in. We can't thank the church enough for all their support in making VBS such a success each year!
Front Desk Volunteers

We are looking for volunteers to cover the front desk. You can volunteer as little as two hours at a time. 

Contact lking@chambleeumc.org for more information and to sign up.
The Landing Place
Sundays between services

Are you looking for a place to land between worship services? Sundays at 10:00a in Room 201 a group is gathering to use creativity to engage in listening and reflection on God's word.

We may illustrate our Bibles, write poems, short stories, or journal entries. We may sketch, paint, stamp, or color – whatever feeds the soul and strengthens our understanding of Christ and our relationship to Him. Some of us may have artistic backgrounds. Some of us may barely draw. We’re not concerned with the perfection of the end result. It’s the journey that matters.
Thank you for your continued giving and generous hearts! chambleeumc.org/give
