SPECIAL OFFERING FOR FIRE VICTIMS

$2216.00 RAISED!

Throughout the month of February, we took up a special offering to help the victims of the Los Angeles fires. Your Church Council voted to match whatever is donated. YOU donated $1108.00 and Mt. Tirzah UMC matched it for a total of $2216.00!

March 22: MT. TIRZAH'S

WORLD FAMOUS STEW!

We will be hosting a stew fundraiser to benefit American Cancer Society and our Youth Group. Sign-up sheet will go around TODAY! Note: because of the rising price of meat, the church has already purchased the beef. Sign up to cook it; you don't have to buy it!

Anything that needs to be shared with the Mt. Tirzah family? Reply back to this email!
