Big Red Bus OneBlood Drive - Tuesday, August 11BLOOD DRIVE
Donate Blood, Tuesday, August 11 from 12:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. in the Big Red Bus in the Shotwell Street parking lot of FUMC. All donors will receive a OneBlood Tote Bag and a wellness check up including COVID-19 antibody test, blood pressure, temperature, iron count, pulse and cholesterol screening. The coronavirus does not pose any known risk to blood donors in the United States during the donation process or from attending blood drives. The coronavirus only heightens the need for a ready blood supply. By making blood donation a habit you are helping ensure a ready blood supply at all times. OneBlood is now testing all blood donations for the COVID-19 antibody. The antibody test is authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and will indicate if the donor’s immune system has produced antibodies to the virus, regardless of whether they ever showed symptoms. Masks are required to be worn by all blood donors. You may wear your own or we will provide one for you if needed. As per our phone conversation earlier, I will be mailing new flyers to you today that reflect your contact information. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Tina Phillips (229) 224-6369 or Tina.Phillips@OneBlood.org. NOMINATIONS - LAY LEADERSHIP MEETING

Welcome Quick Links
Join the 12:19 prayer movementThe coronavirus is also known as COVID-19. This has led to discussion among churches and pastors about inviting us to pray together at 12:19 p.m. each day. Let us join together in praying for: the researchers who are working for a cure, the medical personnel who are on the front lines of this fight, those whose jobs are in jeopardy, those in particularly vulnerable groups, the business owners who are living with financial uncertainty, and our churches as we seek to bring hope through Jesus Christ. Wherever you are at 12:19 p.m. each day, Bishop Bryan and the Cabinet ask you to join us in this prayer movement.
