MISSIONS

Our motto is “Where Faith and Friendship Meet”, but we are also known for caring and giving.

For the month of February, in addition to collecting for the food bank, we will be collecting diapers and wipes for the Hope Resource Center.

Those of you who do not go shopping, can give a

monetary donation to Sherry Beatty or Charlotte

Patterson. We will do the shopping for you

or you can make a check out to Hope Resource Center.

Thank you so much for all you do for our church and our community.

Co-chairs Sherry Beatty & Charlotte Patterson

The need is great and the United Methodist Women

continue to sponsor the Coat Drive.

To donate a gently used coat, sweater, gloves or any

warm clothing or blankets, bring it to the church

and leave it in the Bride's Room. You'll have the

blessing of giving and someone will have the

blessing of warmth this winter.

Your donation is appreciated!
