Missions and the Sunday School would like to thank everyone that contributed to the "Show Your Love With Shoes" project. We are so happy to help a local person reach a goal. We would also like to thank everyone that brought soup or other food pantry items for “Souper” Bowl Sunday.

The communion offering for March is for UMCOR, one of the special designated Sundays of The United Methodist Church. UMCOR provides disaster relief by assisting with necessary services to address complex disaster recovery needs. Your gifts ensure that UMCOR can respond quickly to disasters as a source of hope for those left most vulnerable.

The Sunday School and Missions has chosen CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) as one of our Lenten project this year. CASA advocates for children in the foster care system. With your support Middlesex County is able to provide foster children with a trained Court Appointed Special Advocate. They recommend services, ensure the child receives needed medical and counseling services and report back to the judge about the kids' specific needs.

The Sunday School will be collecting the following items: breathing balls, fidget spinners, coloring books and crayons, coloring books with motivational messages for the older kids, SMALL Playdough kits, and SMALL body lotion sets for teens.

They will once again be doing extra chores and saving their change to support The Heifer International Project to supply a poor family in another country with chick-ens or a goat for eggs and milk.

Missions will help fund these projects through our annual Chili Cook-Off scheduled for March 2nd. We look forward to seeing you all there.
