Worship at 8:30 and 11:00 am
Preaching: Rev. Kelly Love
Sermon Topic: "Davis UMC is Welcoming and Affirming"
We are currently in a 3-part sermon series exploring the DNA of DUMC - who we are. This Sunday will be the second in the series. Being able to accept and welcome people as they are is an important part of who we are and hope to be as DUMC - and something people in the church have already experienced on the receiving end. How might God continue to shape this quality in us?
This Sunday is Pentecost! Don't forget to wear red!

4. Warm fuzzy blankets needed!
United Methodist Women have a request from Valerie Zeller, "their" Yolo County social worker, and are hoping you can help. The request is for 5-10 twin size, warm, fuzzy blankets for the kids who are removed from their parents after hours. These kids have to spend the night at the Valerie's office until foster homes are found for them.
"If you are able to provide some comfort and warmth with a new or gently used blanket, it would be a greatly appreciated gesture. The kids will then take their new blankets with them and hopefully get some sense of comfort during their so often confusing and traumatic situation." -- Valerie
Please call or email Louanne Horsfield, 530-759-9202 and brainh@aol.com if you have or obtain a blanket and I will come pick it up.

| 5. New Bus Bench
We have installed an EXPERIMENTAL, TEMPORARY bus stop bench on church property but very close to the bus stop.
Why temporary?
There has been discussion about having a welcoming bus bench as we have a bus stop right in front of our church. To install a bench that is similar to benches being installed by the city would cost around $2,000. But what do we know about managing and maintaining a bus bench and the immediate surrounding? Possibly not very much.
So to avoid any possible regret, we have spent about $40 to build, paint and install a very simple 8 ft. long bench that will be in place for 1 year. One year's worth of experience will allow us to decide whither purchase a "real" bench or abandon the idea.
- Brian Horsefield, Facilities Manager
