Lovelady Easter Baskets
We received a request again this year from Lovelady to provide Easter Baskets for the children of Lovelady Center. Last year, despite the COVID-19 shut-down, our church provided 100 baskets for the children. (THANK YOU – all of you made that happen!) This year is a bit different and we realize that many of our classes and small groups are not meeting in-person yet. We would like to provide as many baskets as possible to these children this Easter. Please contact the Church office if you (or your group) would like to provide Easter baskets and we can let you know which age groups are needed. We will need to have the baskets done and at the Church for pickup by Friday, March 26th. Thank you for your help!
Women's Togetherness Breakfast
SAVE THE DATE! Saturday, April 10th from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. More information here.

Sunday School Lessons via YouTube
The Pioneer class prepares an online Sunday School lesson each week. If your Sunday School class is not currently meeting, or for anyone who would like to view the presentation, the YouTube link can be sent to your class president and he or she can share it with your class. (Class presidents only please) are welcome to contact Bill Alverson. Thank you.

As email scams have become more numerous lately, TFUMC wants to make everyone aware that the church, or any of our pastors, will NEVER text or email you asking for assistance with gift cards. Please delete these types of requests. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the church office.
Worship Tech Ministry Opportunities

Stephen Ministry
During these uncertain times (financial stress, health concerns, loss of loved ones), you may find you need someone to talk to. A Stephen Minister is a congregation member who walks beside someone who is hurting due to a death, divorce, illness, family issues, etc. The Stephen Minister has been carefully selected and trained to serve in this role because of his or her caregiving gifts. He or she listens, cares, prays, supports, and encourages when meeting each week with his or her care receiver for as long as there is a need. These meetings may take place in person, by video or by phone. If you could benefit from the confidential, one-to-one care and support of a Stephen Minister or would like to obtain more information, please contact Martha Cusimano at 205-601-9124 or mmcusimano@centurytel.net.
