Outreach Ministry

Remember those in our community by donating CANNED
FOOD, PAPER GOODS, and other imperishables to the
Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry. Put donations
of items in the box in the fellowship hall. Our
UNITED METHODIST WOMEN also encourage you to
bring in your EMPTY PLASTIC CONTAINERS (of the
type that margarine or cool whip comes in). The
Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry here in Polk County
and similar ministries in Hendersonville, Brevard and
Asheville, buy staples (sugar, flour, grits, etc.) in
bulk and then use these containers to parcel out the
staple items in household-sized quantities. Our UMW
finds this a great way to recycle these containers in
a useful and compassionate way and hopes you will
bring yours here to the church. Financial contributions
are also appreciated. Thanks!

Upper Room

Be sure to take a copy of the new UPPER ROOM
daily devotional booklet, covering July - August, 2008.
Available Free in the fellowship hall, one per family please.
