The May Newsletter from Marceline UMC
May 2021
From Pastor John...
I can't tell you how excited I am for where we are and what we're looking for in the future. This Summer we're going to be seeing many changes outside of the church in preparation for more that we'll be making on the inside. We're working on a garden, we've got a playset coming, and more plans still for our "backyard." And that is just the beginning.

Orpha Circle will meet on May 12th at the church at 1:30pm. Cheryl has the devotion, Georgia has the program and Cheryl is the hostess. We are collecting for Festival of Sharing Kits, please bring:

The congregation is invited to join us in this project. We collect one item a month for a kit. We usually send 20 kits to them in September. It would be wonderful if we could send more. Other items needed are:

Put your donations in the pie room marked for Orpha. Thank you.
