Sunday School's Lenten Mission Begins!

Lent is here, that means Heifer Project at FUMC!

The Sunday School's annual Lenten mission to raise funds for Heifer International is underway.

Heifer sends live animals to people in need around the world.  Live chickens give eggs, goats give milk and the gift keeps on giving.  Help support the Sunday School mission in the coming weeks.  Watch for youth announcements about Bessie and Bossy.

Special Heifer Challenge:  The pastors have challenged us to collect $1,000 in straight donations.  When we reach $500, one of our pastors will come as a pig to worship.  When we reach $1,000, a second pastor will come as a pig to worship.  Look for the Portia the Heifer Pig box during coffee hour.  On 2/26, we collected $125 toward our goal.  Help us get to $500 on March 4.
