Bean Suppers Are Back!!
July 11,
July 25
Aug. 8
Aug. 22
Four Bean Suppers are being planned for July and August. Outreach is doing the first Supper on Sat July 11th. We need all the help we can get. Please consider signing up to help on the sign uplist in the Fellowship Hall. Proceeds from the dinners will go to the general budget.
August will be Christmas in summer at MUMC as we work on our Santa Shoebox project. Boxes with instructions will be available for pickup the first Sunday in August.
Vacation Bible School – Aug 2-6 – You are needed!
Vacation Bible School – Crocodile Dock When: Aug 2-6 Time: 5:45 to 8:15-8:30 pm. Calling all of God’s Children, there is some way for all to help out. As you all know many volunteers are needed to make this amazing event to happen in our church every summer and the kids will remember it for a lifetime! Learning of God’s Love through VBS is sometimes the only place that a child learns of his love. Can you share your gifts to help a child (hopefully 80 children) by being a station leader, crew leader, bringing in supplies that will be needed, working on the set, cooking meals or desserts for staff during the week of VBS, prayi
ng for us, or
sponsoring a child. VBS costs about $40.00 or so per child
where they get a t-shirt, CD/family, crafts, snacks and so much
more! Look for sign ups downstairs and “Sticky-note-Board”
with supplies needed. We are also looking to borrow for the set
an old looking rowboat and a rather small ice fishing house.
Piece of a dock possible too! A couple fishing poles, net,
fishing clothes, etc. Oh there is so much to do but it will be
a “Fear Not” moment cause… “God is with us, God is powerful,
God does what he says he’ll do, God gives us life, and God cares
for us.” FEAR NOT we will say!!! Set nights will be
held on Tuesdays June 30th,
July 7th,
14th,
21st,
28th
from 5pm-7pm.
Come grab a paintbrush and let’s start praising god with our gifts of creating an incredible set for Crocodile Dock down on the Bayou to adorn our Sanctuary for this years VBS! We can all pitch in and grab a pizza as well and eat while we work for all who will be hungry getting home from work. Also if you like parades help us to be a part of the 4th of July Parade with our Crocodile dock float to help spread the word outside of our church. Its fun and we came in third place one year! Thanks for any and all the help you can give us. God loves you! Justine Cantone 253-4311
P.S. Need lots and lots of help on Aug 9th VBS Sunday. We have one hour after church to de-set and clean up the Sanctuary in time to celebrate the life of Art Schimpf
