Greetings!

This Sunday Pastor Greg starts his new sermon series, "Amazing Grace - Was Blind, But Now I See" by reflecting on Luke 4:1-13 and asks us to consider the question, "Can You See Beyond the Temptations That 'Look' Good?" 

Be sure to log your walking/running mileage (or the equivalent for other activity) on the Health Ministries bulletin board.  We already have two leaves on our tree, that's over 400 miles!  We want our tree to be in full bloom by May, so get busy and get active! 

There are several opportunities this week for you to connect, I  hope you'll find one that works for you.

See you in church!

Where and When:
United Methodist Children's Services
March 11 - 13th
 
United Methodist Children's Services (www.umcs-wi.org) was organized in 1962 and has been serving women, children and families in the Milwaukee area for 45 years.  They have three main areas of emphasis. The Growing Tree Children's Center, the Transitional Living Program, and the Family Resource Center.  Our work while we are there will most likely be with the Family Resource Center as part of the emergency food pantry and clothing distribution, however we may be asked to help clean or paint one of their transitional homes as well.  It all depends where their greatest area of need is on the days we are there. 
 
The trip is open to all youth in the 8th grade or above and adults. 
TELL ME MORE -  I WANT TO COME!
