Troop 101 Commemorates 100 years of Achievement

Sunday, February 18th, will be Scout Sunday. Individuals a part of Troop 101 has been invited to be part of the service.

As part of this incredible occasion, we extend a special acknowledgment to WUMC individuals who have contributed to the scouting legacy throughout the years, including those who attained the esteemed rank of Eagle Scout.

If you, or a family member, were a scout, including receiving the honor of an Eagle scout, we would like to acknowledge you. Additionally, we welcome your reflections on what Scouting has meant to you and the valuable lessons learned. Please share your involvement and insights by submitting comments to the church office at wumcoffice@watervilleumc.org or by delivering handwritten notes directly to the office. Your participation would be a significant blessing to our commemorative event.

Project With A Purpose

On Sunday, February 4th & 11th, the kids will be coloring Valentine Bookmarks to give as gifts to the residents at Story Point in Waterville. We want to be sure to have a bookmark for every resident, so we need to complete A LOT of bookmarks.

If you will not be at church on those Sundays, but would like to help in decorating the bookmarks, please contact Stephanie Shelton at sshelton171@gmail.com

We may also need some volunteers to take some extra bookmarks home to finish. If you would be willing to do that, let us know. All bookmarks need to be returned by February 11th.

Easter is coming!

There are still a few prayer stations available.

• Choose a Prayer Station you would like to create a prayer experience as part of Jesus' journey to the cross

• Contact/gather your team. Invite others to assist. This is a great opportunity for Leadership Teams, choir teams, Bible Study groups, family, friends and people even outside of our church family.

• Gather your group, brainstorm/research possible ideas, and create your station in the location provided. Pinterest and google searches are helpful.

• Teams create an experience that includes: Read (the text); Reflect (prayer, visuals, questions, etc); Respond (provide a take away - question, object or activity for participants to do or take with them)

• Stations should be set up and ready by February 14th at 5:00 pm

Next to the sign up sheet, you will find envelopes with ideas for each remaining station. If you are interested in doing a station, but unsure of what to do, these ideas can really help get the creative juices flowing!

Below are some photos from last year's stations. If you have any questions, please reach out to Pastor Teresa or the church office.
