Thank you to Night OWLS volunteers
Night OWLS (Night Out With Loving Sitters) just
completed another rewarding and fun year. It
could not happen without the love and dedication
of the MANY who provided dinners, entertainment,
helped with crafts, set up and in the Hoot and Holler
room.
A special thank you to the loving “sitters” who gave individual
attention and care to the children. But most of all, to the parents who
entrusted their children to us once a month.
If you are interested in learning more about this wonderful mission
contact; Brenda Buckler 989-631-5294 or [email protected]

CONNECTIONAL CONVERSATIONS The Forum Class will spend the last three
weeks of June (10, 17, 24) following up on
Bishop David Alan Bard’s “Weaving the
Future: Connectional Conversations.” In
March, the Bishop came to Saginaw and encouraged all of the
United Methodist Churches in the Saginaw Bay District to follow the
Bishop’s example and create a time of listening and sharing while
respectfully discussing issues around LGBTQ inclusion and the future of
the United Methodist Church.
Using videos that have been provided by the Bishop as a starting
point, The Forum Class will spend three Sundays doing exactly that.
We will create a safe space for civil discussion where anyone will be
comfortable to express his/her point of view, regardless of the fact
that we will not all be in agreement.
Even if you have never attended the Forum Class before, we invite
you to come to any or all of our adult Sunday School classes as your
schedule allows. We meet in the Hearth Room from 10:15-11:15 am on
Sunday.
