Methodical Unity - 2 Kings 10:15; Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-13

Christians, including our own tribe of the faith, have suffered many divisions on important matters of faith. On what basis do Methodists seek Christian Unity for the sake of outreach and mission? Join us as we seek universal – or catholic -- spirit common to all who love God in Christ.

We are in need of 5-10 teens who are ages 14-18 to volunteer to rehab houses in Charleston, WV from June 15 through June 22nd. All teens are guided by experienced adults who will teach them how to build a porch, wheel chair ramp, put up siding, drywall, sometimes install a new roof over a trailer. We leave on June 15, and stay over at a church in Lexington, KY where we will get to know everyone in our crew. Sunday June 16, we leave for Charleston, WV and stay at the center in Kanawha County. Here's the link about the center. After 5 days of service we head back home on Saturday June 22, and will arrive around 3pm back in Geneva.

Cost is $350, but we have scholarships if needed. We will have a group meeting to talk about how to use all the tools we might need, talk about a packing list, and go to an Escape Room on Sunday June 9th. Friday June 14, we will gather at 5pm to have a potluck dinner together and pack the vans.

THIS IS A CALL TO ARMS

TO OUR FELLOW PARISHIONERS!

As God's faithful followers we are called to serve others. What better way to help us serve the many ministries we support in our community and abroad, than to help serve pancakes at the UMCG Pancake Breakfast. 

 We are still in need of Volunteers in many areas; cooking, wait staff, running batter, coffee, sausage, and dishes. The need is great. 

Everyone --yes everyone -- is welcome to serve in this ministry. It is a great time to meet all your fellow church members and friends, while doing the Lord's work.

Use the button on the left for online signup or stop by our table in Fellowship Hall after worship.   Contact Tony Zefron with questions.
