Open Hearts, Working Hands…
The Missions committee would like to invite ALL church members to take part in our Open Hearts and Working Hands program. We are looking for both projects that need done and volunteers to help complete the projects. Open Hearts and Working Hands was established to assist people who cannot complete a project alone. Projects can be big or small from helping to move furniture, repairing a broken window, removing a tree from your yard, painting inside or outside your home, to bigger projects like moving homes in town, hauling items to the landfill or repairing a deck. If you have a project that you would like completed, you can contact the church office or Sam Funk at [email protected] or 620-290-0969
We are also looking for volunteers to help complete these projects. If you would like to volunteer to help, no special skills are required, please contact Sam Funk and he will put you on the list!
This year our Camp Lakeside Work Day will be a little early because Camp Lakeside is celebrating its 70th Birthday on April 28th starting at 1:00 p.m. with a worship service at 4:00 p.m.
The Colby United Methodist Church has been asked to prepare two cabins in the West canyon (between the Dining Hall and the Chapel) for the birthday celebration. The Missions committee would like to invite anyone interested in helping to join us on April 7th. We will be moving furniture, building a path to the cabins, installing A/C units, general maintenance and finally cleaning the cabins inside and out so they look great and can be used for the big day. Anyone who joins us will be able to contribute, no special skills or tools needed!
More details to come, but for more information now contact Jan Barnum or Sam Funk.
Also, mark your calendar for Camp Sunday! On Sunday, April 22 we will have camp representative here to speak to us about Camp Lakeside and their camp schedule for this year!
