Outreach Opportunities

This year the Missions team and Administrative board have designated gifts from Mothers Day and Fathers Day to support the Our Conference, Our Kids program.

We heard about this IGRC program from Rev Zimmerman in our worship service on April 7

th.

The funds raised are to support the spiritual life programs at the 5 Children’s homes and agencies the UMC has supported for many years.

These programs are continuing to nurture and impact the lives of hundreds of at risk children and their families today.

What better way to honor the mothers and fathers that God has placed in our lives than to pass that blessing forward. Thank you for your ongoing support.
