VBS food & money donations are due

Sunday, June 7.

Blessings Box

We haven't been having many donations for the Blessings Box lately. Remember that school is out and kids won't be eating at school. Some kids will need help from us to get the food they need. The Blessing Box usually gets filled up on Sundays and is empty again by the middle of the week, so Dustin usually takes food midweek. Anything you can bring will be helpful!

"Growing in the Son!"

Saturday, June 13, 10am-2pm: Learning God's Word through stories, games and crafts, songs and snacks, and tons of fun!

For ages 3 to 12. Lunch provided too. At Mt. Tirzah UMC.

Invite your friends, neighbors, grandchildren, nieces and nephews! All are welcome!
