Welcome Upcoming Events
Toothbrushes Needed
During our Vashti service day, volunteers are packing hygiene kits for UMCOR. Our church has been asked to provide single packaged toothbrushes for the kits (multi-packs, travel toothbrushes, and toothpaste are not allowed). Please bring a toothbrush to worship THIS Sunday or drop it by the church office before Friday, February 21. Thank you for your help. Vashti Giving Sunday
Vashti Giving Sunday has been rescheduled to Sunday, February 23. This special offering allows us to share in the incredible work they are doing to foster healing, hope, and transformation to children and families in Georgia. Prepare to be generous. District Day of Giving Back
On February 22, we will have the District-Wide Family Service Day at Vashti Center in Thomasville. It will begin with a gathering at 9:00 a.m. and end with a wrap-up at 2:00 p.m. In between, we will assemble benches and UMCOR Hygiene Kits, write letters to Military Service Members, and play Flag Football (for those inclined to the activity). Lunch will be provided. You are asked to RSVP for lunch and for a seat on the van by February 14 by calling the Church Office. The Church Van will leave at 8:00 a.m. Strawberry Sale for Wesley Glen
The annual Strawberry Sale benefitting Wesley Glen, our South Georgia Annual Conference Ministry serving adults with developmental disabilities, has begun. The cost is $20.00 per flat (12 pints). Orders can be made through the Church Office and are due and must be paid for by noon on February 26, with delivery on Friday, February 28. Please make your checks payable to Wesley Glen Auxiliary. Thank you for supporting this ministry! Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper and Ash Wednesday Service.
Our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper will be held on Tuesday, February 25, at 6:00 p.m. Shrove Tuesday or “Fat Tuesday” is celebrated on the day before Ash Wednesday. Originally, the day was an opportunity to rid the home of all fats, sugar, and rich foods before the season of Lenten fasting begins. Pancakes are the perfect food to combine all of those ingredients. If you are willing to help out with the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper, contact Elizabeth Simmons or the Church Office. Another part of the Shrove Tuesday celebration is the burning of the palm branches that were carried triumphantly into the sanctuary last Palm Sunday. These palms become the ashes that mark our heads on Ash Wednesday. The Ash Wednesday service will be held at 6:45 pm in the sanctuary following our regular Christian Fellowship Dinner. SAVE THE DATE
