Thank you so much for your support of the Blood Drive for Molly.

According to the Oklahoma Blood Institute representative, Lindsay Hix, it was a HUGE SUCCESS! We had 29 donors sing in, and 25 units collected (the most ever at Mustang UMC). Did you know that each unit of whole blood collected can save the lives of up to 3 patients? So with our church blood drive yesterday, 75 patients’ lives will be saved or sustained and Molly will be able to receive whatever blood is needed to enable her to have chemotherapy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The church will be open for prayer 7am-5pm as we participate in the

observance of the “62nd National Day of Prayer.”
