Peace Practices
Finding Peace through the season of Easter
Peace is/should/could be a result of the Resurrection. So, in this season of resurrection we will schedule a time to discuss peace – peace practices in our individual lives, and peace practices of communities and nations. Peace is possible, but it does take effort and awareness. Join us for this important discussion Thursday evenings at 5pm, April 11 through May 9.

Thank you to everyone who helps keep the First UM Food Pantry stocked and ready to help the next needy neighbor! Many of you specifically fill the Little Food Pantry with goodies; others bring monetary donations so we can purchase items as needed. Both ways work great! Just a reminder: As we move into the winter season we need to make sure items can endure the freezing season. Again, our thanks!
There are many ways to camp:
- Junior Leaders (Ages 16+) June 10-11
