Update April 11th, 2024

This coming Sunday, we will be celebrating the third Sunday of Easter

This coming Sunday, the Changing the World Offering will be given towards the Native American Ministries of the United Methodist Church. 25% goes toward higher learning Scholarships. 25% goes towards Outreach programs. 50% is given towards the Native American Ministries in the New England Area. Please use the changing the world offering envelopes to give.

This coming Sunday, the prayer team will be inviting people who need prayer to come up the center or side aisles during the last hymn. This is something new we are trying. We believe that prayer is an important part of our life together, and we want to try to incorporate it within our worship time together. This will still honor the confidentiality and privacy of those who need prayer. 

Tuesday, April 16th at 7:30 am in the Fitzgerald Room:

"Wizards of the Airwaves!" Church members Mel Trott, KC1ELB, and Henry Brown, K1WCC, will explain their fascination with ham (amateur) radio at the next Men's Breakfast. Please join us for an hour of food, fellowship and conversation…and bring a friend! If you have questions or would like to help with the breakfast, please contact Matt O’Connor HERE

Thanks to Mark Karsner, the Welcoming and Invitation Team has created three new boxes that you will find at the welcome center in the lobby/narthex: a “Prayer request box,” a “Suggestions box,” and a “Newcomers information box.”  If you are new with us, have a prayer request or a suggestion to improve our life together, please feel free to fill out one of the designated cards in your pews or at the welcome center and deposit it in the appropriate box. 

The Plant Sale will be here in no time. Save the Date for the SPRING PLANT SALE on Friday, May 24 & Saturday, May 25 with set-up on Thursday, May 23! More details coming soon!

The collection of food is ongoing for the Food Pantry. 

Their numbers continue to rise, and food donations are much needed. The most needed items are Apple Juice, Canned Tuna, Canned Chicken, Chicken Noodle Soup, Italian Dressing, Ranch Dressing, Ketchup and Garlic Powder (3-4 OZ). 

Thank you all for your continued support for our neighbors in need.

JW GARDEN

GARDEN PLOTS AVAILABLE

$20 EACH

It’s not to early to start thinking of gardening. Are you interested in having a garden plot?  

They are approximately 12’ x 8’. We have it rototilled for you and it is fenced in with lots of sun for great produce. We have tools available to use. You can plant whatever you want and keep what you need and/or donate any excess to the church. All we ask is that you keep it neat and weeded. If you had a plot last year, please let me know if you want to continue with the same one. Thank you.
