Library Book Drive

By

Instead of having a used book sale this spring, we are collecting books for local prison libraries. If you have books you would like to donate, bring them to the library the week after Easter and place them behind the librarians’ desk. As usual, no magazines, textbooks, encyclopedias or Readers’ Digest condensed books. Thank you for your contributions! For more information, please contact Barbara Reimers. 

Brown Bag Season Returns!

By

It’s nearly time for Sermons from a Brown Bag! Throughout the season of Easter (and beyond), Pastor Candy will preach sermons inspired by ordinary, everyday items – provided by you! If you would like to submit an item for this year’s Brown Bag series, please bring your item in a brown paper bag, labeled with your name. For more information, please contact Pastor Candy. 

Spaghetti Dinner & Basket Auction

By

Get those bidding arms in shape, because it’s almost time for the annual Spaghetti Dinner and Basket Auction! This year’s event will take place on Saturday April 11. More specifics will be coming soon. The Wesley Men’s Group will serve a full spaghetti dinner to raise funds for the events they sponsor. Wesley’s Backpack Team will be running the basket auction to raise funds for our “We Got Your Back” backpack program. If you would like to donate a basket for the auction, please visit our sign up link. Thank you for your support of our programs! For more information, please contact our Backpack Team. 

Pancake Breakfast & Easter Egg Hunt

By

On Sunday March 29, come enjoy pancakes for our annual Palm Sunday Pancake Breakfast! The breakfast will run from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, and a freewill offering will benefit our Christian education ministry. After worship, join us for fellowship hour and our annual Easter Egg Hunt, beginning around 11:15 AM. Are you planning to join us for the fun? RSVP here!

Your help is needed! We are seeking “egg stuffers” to prepare the Egg Hunt eggs, as well as volunteers to help set up, serve, and clean up the Pancake Breakfast. We are also seeking donations of stickers, bouncy balls, mini erasers, temporary tattoos, or candy (no peanut or peanut butter candy, please). To volunteer or donate, please contact Deb Silliman, our Director of Christian Education. 

Footwashing Reimagined

By

Each year, as we gather for our Maundy Thursday service and recall Jesus’ humble act of washing his disciples’ feet, we sponsor a donation drive to bless feet in a practical way. It’s our way of “reimagining footwashing” as we seek to be “people blessing people!” This year, we will collect socks to support the work of our “We Got Your Back” Backpack Program. We are collecting socks in sizes Small (Y1-Y8), Medium (Y9-A4), and Large (5-11). In addition, we are collecting gallon and quart-size plastic zip bags to package the socks. Thank you for your generosity!  Please bring all donations to the church by Maundy Thursday, April 2. For more information, please contact Pastor Candy.
