Your Place in Ministry - February 13th
Thank You!
The Lovelady Center picked up the first truckload of toilet paper on Tuesday, February 8th and more is waiting for them when they return. They are very grateful! Please continue to bring what you can to the church ASAP as they still have this ongoing need. Your generosity is much appreciated!
WE NEED YOU!
The Trussville Methodist Consignment Sale still has volunteer opportunities for the Spring Consignment Sale during March 6- March 12. Please consider volunteering a few hours of your time to assist in this ministry. We particularly need to fill afternoon and evening shifts each day. We have volunteer opportunities for all activity levels and all times of the day. If you are unable to volunteer, please consider sponsoring a meal for our volunteers that are working long hours. Church Members can shop early on Thursday, March 10th at 6:30 pm. Volunteers shop even earlier on Wednesday, March 9th depending on the number of hours worked. Please contact Katie Morse at katie@fumctrussville.com or Carolyn Matthews to sign up for a work shift or sponsor a meal.
Thank you for your patience, time, and continued support of the Consignment Sale!
