The Missions Committee has been busy getting ready for the Slush Booth at the Arts Festival which will take place July 9-10. The money raised will go to the UMCOR Disaster Relief, Solar Oven Partners, and assisting with youth mission trips.
We need the congregation’s help to make this a success. We need people to pick strawberries at Sanderson Gardens, help make the slush, and most of all, to volunteer their time working in the booth!
Sign-up sheets are in the Narthex at the Welcome Center on Sundays through July 3, or choose the links below to sign up for the different tasks.
