Exciting News! Our August 26 Worship Service will be held at the new church site under the tent! AUGUST 26 @ 10:30 am at 7115 Waterville-Monclova Road. Worship, Prayer and Praise!
We still have the opportunity to serve our community by assisting a family in need of school supplies and clothing. We are asking for gift cards. Examples would be Target, Walmart or Meijer. If the Lord is calling you to help, please bring your gift card to the church office next week. Thank you.
As my church has always been very supportive of the Pregnancy Center of Toledo in the past, I’m coming to you once again on their behalf. This August will be the first time the Center’s Walk for Life will not take place. Several of us have participated in that walk for 15-20 years and you have supported that walk generously. Savannah Martin, Executive Director, has alerted me of the Center’s need for baby blankets. Such a small need but one God can use to connect to the spiritual life of their clients. They give about 800 blankets a year and are very low at this time. I would love to collect 100 blankets and deliver them to the Center. Would you help me? There will be a box for the blankets in the Community/Choir room. We ask that they are in colors that can be for both girls and boys since they may not know what gender they are expecting! For more information, see www.friendsofpregnancycenter.org. Thank you. Melva Robinson
Roche de Bouef Festival!
On September 22, WUMC will once again be having a booth at the annual Roche de Bouef Festival here in Waterville. We’d like to invite the community to join us in the Samaritan Purse Operation Christmas Child Shoebox ministry by handing out OCC shoeboxes and flyers about the project with suggestions and instructions.
There is a signup sheet on the bulletin board to assist with coverage in the booth for two-hour shifts that day. Please consider helping us impact more children around the world and share God’s word with this unique ministry! Remember National Collection Week is November 12-19 this year!
