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.
A resident from Story Point is looking for a ride to attend church. Contact the office if you are available. Thanks!

June Mission Focus:  Pregnancy Center of Toledo
 
Compassionately serving families since 1984, the Center brings the love of Jesus to men and women. Pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, parenting classes, counseling, all free and confidential, in addition to providing clothes, diapers, blankets, toys, and other items are all included in the Center's outreach. It walks alongside families who are facing unplanned pregnancies embracing them with Christian love, wisdom , and grace. Prioritizing the sanctity of human life from conception to birth and beyond, the Pregnancy Center offers hope and encouragement to women and men facing the challenges of unplanned pregnancies. At a time when the pro-life voice has grown stronger despite increasing violence against Pregnancy Centers, The Toledo Center is grateful for our prayers, donations, and support. The Center serves for the glory of God who is the Giver of Life.
