GodwinFaceCMYK.jpgITS TIME! Our VBS is in the planning stages and we need your help!  If you can sing, lead a group in recreation, help with crafts, read a skit, shepherd classes to activities or just cheer us on, please contact Larry Stricklin (larreddo@aol.com) to volunteer your services. We will be having a planning meeting Wednesday, May 22 at 7:30 p.m. following RECHARGE.

 

Next Sunday is Mother’s Day and to celebrate we will be taking up a special offering for Magnolia Manor, a United Methodist Ministry for Senior Adults in South Georgia. The League of the Good Samaritan, the fundraising arm of Magnolia has a mission statement that no one will ever be turned away from lack of funds.  Please help out with this legacy of love for our seniors.
