Love, Joy, Peace...

We've got a lot of different ways to give at this time of year. Below are some of the different ways.

March to the Manger

On Sun. Dec. 11th, our kids will be giving their program, and we will take up a special offering for Butula UMC in Mozambique. This is an ongoing relationship we have had with them for many years. The gifts that we send to them go a long way in their community and their church.

This is a part of the Mozambique Initiative in the Missouri Annual Conference. You can find out more by going to MZ Initiative.

Christmas Baskets

We have six families that we are helping this year. You can help with cash donations in the back of the church, or by donating a turkey or a ham. Talk to Janet Daniels if you can help with the meat.

Mission Fund

What we receive beyond what is needed for the above giving opportunities and to support a number of different agencies across that state that we help with the proceeds of the Sharing Table, will go into our Mission Fund. That is a fund that we have set aside to help folks as needed throughout the course of the year. What we receive goes a long way to help others.

Giving Tree

Below is a list of items that we have received from the school nurse that they need to help kids. You can bring your donations to the Giving Tree in the Sanctuary, or just drop them off here at the church anytime.
