Some of our men in action. They have been busy building many ramps around the community. If you’d like to join them, contact Wayne Jones @ wayne_jones@sbcglobal.net.

Children’s Church is BACK !!! Beginning this Sunday, Children’s Church will be offered at 9:30 am AND 11:00 am. Children will be dismissed to go to Children’s Church after the Children’s Time in those services. Parents can pick their child(ren) up from the Children’s wing afterwards.

If you missed the Memorial Sunday’s Mission Moment you might be wondering about the 6 foot Quinceanera girl posted in the hall way.  Our church will be leading a trip to Orphanage Emmanuel January 7-14, 2023.   Of course we are looking for willing hearts to serve on the team.  Simply contact Kim or Joe Tatman for additional information. This will be our first trip to the Orphanage in over 3 years. There are many needs and we have set an extensive agenda of projects while onsite. Of course these tasks require a bit a funding.  Alongside the 6 foot Quinceannera girl are tickets with differing sponsorship amounts. Please consider taking a ticket (or 2 or 3) to help in accomplishing our goals.  Simply write a check to “FUMC of Union County” with the memo line “Orphanage Emmanuel”. Please do NOT stick the ticket to your check as the checks are tearing when Deidra pulls the ticket away. The ticket is meant to be a reminder to pray for the Orphanage. Pastor Don shared a story of a Christian Church in China that could not hold worship services for 13 years. When they returned and began to tithe again, they did not pick up where the left off, they contributed 13 years of tithe.  We pray that our congregation might help fund the past 3 years of mission work.

We will be having a blood drive here on Sunday morning, July 10th beginning at 9 am. More details to come.

There will be a CPR class offered for Tuesday, July 12th. It will be an evening class. Time TBD. Sign-up sheet will be out next week.

Please stop by and say a prayer over these quilts. Tying a knot lets the receiver know that people care and that we have prayed for them.
