#1 Garage Sale Thanks!

VIM and the Spring Missions Garage Sale Leadership Team would like to thank everyone who supported the Garage Sale over the past week. Whether you helped set up, volunteered during the sale, cooked, donated items, shopped, or stayed to clean up, this event simply could not have happened without you. The proceeds from the sale support local and national missions through the United Women in Faith and the mission teams we send out from our church. Your generosity directly strengthens these ministries and the people they serve. A heartfelt “Thank you!”

#2 Blessing of the Animals

The 9th Annual BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS took place on Sunday, April 26 at 5pm in our Memorial Garden. About 50 humans turned out, along with 31 dogs, 1 very brave cat and 1 very scared hamster. What a fun afternoon as people got to introduce their pets/furry family members to one another and the stories were sweet and inspiring. What a great way to celebrate Earth Day weekend.

#3 Love, Serve, Lead

LOVE BOLDLY, SERVE JOYFULLY, LEAD COURAGEOUSLY is the theme of a three-week worship series we are doing in conjunction with United Methodist churches all over the US and world. On the last Sunday, May 17, we will be taking a special offering in support of United Methodist pastors around the globe who have less access to and fewer resources for theological education. This generous offering will be both a sign of solidarity with our siblings in other countries (particularly in Africa & Asia) and make possible better leadership training for pastors and a more effective witness for Christ.
