today for food and fun

APUMC Annual Children’s Advent Event is Saturday, December 15th from 1pm to 3pm. Please refer to the Connect Card for your opportunity to contribute to this joyful event. Come decorate cookies with the kids, help with Christmas arts and crafts projects. Or, you can contribute the sugar cookies to decorate! All this activity will certainly make for snack hungry kids - you can help by providing healthy munchies for them to en-joy while having fun. See Vicki Packer if you have any questions and be sure to mark your response on the Connect Card.

Backpack Buddies with Airport Heights Elementary The backpack buddy program is designed to provide food for the weekend for children of families in need. Airport Heights Elementary has identified

50 children in need and they have been able to meet their goal to send home 4 meals that the children can prepare on their own. PLEASE CONTINUE TO HELP. Donate food that is microwaveable or ready to eat, single serving size, and shelf-stable. There is a flyer on Pastor Autumn’s door of examples. They are seeking nutrient dense meals like beef stew with veggies or rice with chicken and veggies but anything helps.

The Holidays are brighter when we share!

We help the Willow UMC feed hungry families in their community. When shopping, remember the family beyond your door.

Help fill the red barrel - and bring joy to those in need

We Go FISHing today

Did you bring your catch?

This past quarter we have earned $173.68 from the Fred Meyer's community rewards

program. If you are not sure your rewards card is set up to the Church, you can sign in through your account online or go to the service desk in Fred’s and they can help you set it up. Adding APUMC to your Reward’s Card does not effect your Rewards points.

Do not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9

Do you know? The office admin (Cris) is asking if anyone knows what happened to the Aloe Vera plant that was in the office on the table next to the window. Curiosity drives the question, as everyone is stumped. If you have any insight, please share, and thank you!
