As working parents, picking up the kids, shuttling to another activity, getting homework done, and then getting them to bed at a decent hour, dinner is usually an afterthought. Many working families experience this same time crunch.
- What if one day a month we could love families by taking care of dinner for them?
- What if they could drive thru and pick up a complete, nutrition packed meal to feed their family?
- What if we did this on a Thursday evening and were able to serve BABE and ELC families and staff?
This ministry is just getting started and we are excited about the families we will serve. More information will be available soon. For now, please pray for this exciting opportunity to serve, for the team ironing out details, that families will be blessed, and that others will want to serve in this ministry as well.
Contact Tammy at tammy.Taylor@columbiacityumc.org for more information.

VOLUNTEERS URGENTLY NEEDED

Have you noticed the green grass or the beautiful tulips in the church landscape? Spring brings the beauty of nature, coming to life once more. Unfortunately, one thing coming back to life around the church is weeds. Did you know the church counts on volunteers to tend to the flowerbeds, planters, and do the lawn mowing? Currently, there is a group looking into restoration of the flowerbeds. Please let Greg Lawson, church trustee, know what area of the grounds you would like to take care of. We appreciate your help!

Thank you to the many wonderful volunteers who are providing donuts for our youth on Sunday mornings! They are enjoying them.
Also, big thanks to all who continue to contribute to the Blessing Box.
Recently, Ron & Kris Richey donated 50 tubes of toothpaste in honor of their 50th wedding anniversary!
The youth have been studying the story of The Good Samaritan for the past few weeks and discussing who in the story was a neighbor to the man on the road.
Come and join us at 9:15 on Sundays in the upstairs foyer!

NEW SERMON SERIES: MAY 19-JUNE 23
|
|
|
Theme: Nature and work of the Holy Spirit (pneuma, Ruach, Wind, Breath).
Description: God is... Father, revealed in a parenting relationship with Abraham, Jacob, and ultimately in Jesus. God is... Son, Jesus Christ, revealed in flesh and dwelled among us. God is ... Holy Spirit, the divine presence and promised One who came in power and authority at Pentecost, and still lives and works within us today. In this series, we will explore the ways in which our lives and faith are shaped by the Holy Spirit.
Key Verse:
The Companion, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I told you.
John 14:26, CEB
