EMUC Spring Fling Update

We are a little over four weeks away from our Spring Fling Market on Saturday, May 23 and plans are going well, with close to 20 vendors who have rented a table.

Please think about how you wish to support this event. We are looking for bakers, books, plants and, as always, volunteers on the 23rd and before to deliver flyers. Stay tuned for more detailed information on how you can help.

Deacon's Cupboard Donation Suggestions

Thank you for the tremendous response to our request for food items. Your support has helped us stock our shelves each week. In April, we are asking EMUC to donate cereal. Of course, we will also accept other food items. Your support enables us to share God’s bounty.
