Are you planning to give any gift cards for presents this year? Help the United Methodist Women earn money for missions by purchasing your gifts from the Purchase With a Purpose table on Sunday mornings in the parlor.
Help us to brighten the sanctuary this Christmas by purchasing a beautiful poinsettia plant!

Get ahead of the shopping rush by stopping in the parlor after all services on Sundays, Dec. 8, 15, and 22 to see the beautiful handmade crafts from the women of UPAVIM who live on the outskirts of Guatemala City. There will be Christmas ornaments, jewelry, kitchen accessories, and much more. The sale of these crafts helps UPAVIM members build better lives for themselves and their community by funding a school, library, clinic, bakery, and soy milk production.
