As we celebrate Easter each year, we are reminded of the love of a perfect God for flawed mankind. Jesus Christ died on the cross, He was buried and on the third day He rose again to bring hope to the world. As you celebrate this wonderful holiday remember that Christ gave His life for us willingly and unconditionally; therefore, we should extend the same love to others.



We wish you a blessed and Happy Easter!

START GATHERING YOUR OLD JEWELRY & COSMETICS!

We are sending items to Chennai, India again for the 

Opportunity School Christmas Bazaar

to raise funds to renovate the 3rd and last school building.

BRING ITEMS to the JEWELRY & MAKEUP SORT PARTY

Old Costume Jewelry

(bracelets, necklaces, earrings, rings; no pins and nothing heavy) 

And 

Lightly Used Cosmetics 

American cosmetics are in demand in India, particularly lipstick, powder, and eye shadow (perhaps something you bought and tried, but it wasn’t the right color).

We will sort, label, and weigh the items for shipping to India, while enjoying cookies and lemonade!

Please do not purchase new items to donate to the bazaar. We are not likely to recover in India what you spent. 

If you want to help, please consider making a monetary donation!

UMW members, led by Christine Dombrowski, recently staffed an afternoon shift at CitySquare's drive-thru food pantry. The crew served more than 300 people each with canned goods, fresh produce, protein sources, as well as baby food. Despite challenges the unfavorable weather posed, the ladies greeted and registered neighbors, filled carts with groceries and packed them into vehicles. (See more photos)

We will be back at CitySquare this Saturday, April 9. Consider joining us there or at one of many of our other community partner locations for our Churchwide Serving Day. Help is needed still in many areas.
