This year, part of the proceeds from McMannen's Meals for Missions Dinner

on Saturday, September 13 will benefit this ministry by raising important

funds, but that's not the only way we can help!

On October 3rd and 4th, members of our District will gather together at

Haw River UMC to assemble and prepare to ship shoe boxes filled with vital

supplies, donated by district churches. We need your help! If you would be

willing to donate a couple of hours of time on Friday, October 3rd working

alongside Pastor Ed and others from around the district, please RSVP to

Anggie in the office by September 22 so we can get registered. We will meet

at McMannen at 4:00. As an added bonus, you can ride along with Pastor Ed

on a fun-filled road trip! We know it is the day before our beloved Fall

Festival, but vulnerable children on the other side of the world are counting

on our sacrifice!

We need your help!!!!

To prepare for this incredible outreach opportunity we are holding a

LEGO Brick Drive. Please consider donating old and new LEGO

bricks and accessories. All LEGOS can be delivered to Jackie’s office.

Thursday nights will never be the same! Join us from 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm on Thursday, October 2 as the Children's Council hosts "The LEGO Movie" as a kick off for our next CLUBS activity!! Then join us from 6:30 pm -8:00 pm the next seven Thursdays at our LEGO CLUBS as we help kids ages 4-12 experience the wonder and adventure of the Bible from the Master Builder himself and build their faith brick by brick. Adult volunteers are needed, so please contact Jackie Rohde Bolen if you can help in any way.

COOKERS ARE NEEDED

FOR POTATOES FOR THE

FALL FESTIVAL STEW

5 & 10 lb. bags of potatoes will be availa-

ble for cooking Sunday before Fall Festi-

val in the fellowship hall. They are due

back @ the scout hut by Saturday AM (or

possibly Friday night if the refrigerator

truck is available). It’s easy to do. Just

cook in the skin. Let cool enough to

handle. Skin will almost slide off. Mash

until smooth with no lumps while still

warm. I place mine in plastic ziplock

bags & mash out remaining

lumps. Then I don’t have to

retrieve my container after

Fall Festival. MANY COOK-

ERS are needed. Please

volunteer by calling 919-740-2646 and

leaving your name, phone number and

pounds of potatoes you can cook OR

EMAIL the same information at

judy@hutchinsdesignbuild.com .

Thank you sooo much.
