The children of CSUMC are on a refreshing mission and we want you to help and enjoy! Our pre

school and elementary children are in the Narthex providing you with a refreshing drink of lemonade and sweet treat. In return, we need you to empty your pockets of loose coins, small dollars, large bills and paper checks. This money will be marked for MISSIONS only (Back Pack Ministry and our apportionment missions), hence LemonAID. We all can help our children learn about Serving Others this way!

Lemon-Aid for Missions We need YOU! Each Sunday this summer

from June 7th through August 30th We need 4 teachers;

2 leaders and 2 assistants. This is a GREAT opportunity to Serve Others!

All materials are provided and we promise you will not regret a single minute being in

ministry with these kids!!
