More than 11 CGS members & Shepherds Fellowship group answered the call to help with our “virtual” hosting of 2 families for our July Family Promise hosting. Due to concerns about COVID, we paid for motels & food cards for the families. We received donations of $1,775 which was put into our CGS FP restricted account to cover future expenses like this.
The FPSGV Case Manager sent this message, “I wanted to just thank you again for being so awesome and generous. The families are so appreciative and feel so safe and loved. Thank you so much.”
Thanks to all for their prayers of support & donations for those who need them! Blessings!

Our United Methodist Women’s Crafts Group meet Wednesdays at 1:15-3:00 p.m., in the Church Library.
All women are invited and all types of crafts are welcome with the proceeds from items made then sold at UMW Boutiques going toward mission projects.
Bring your own projects to work on or come on Wednesday night and see if there is something you’d like to help create. Sometimes there are group projects to work on, but most of the time everyone works on their own favorite craft.
We also encourage crafters to participate in the boutique sales with crafts they have made at home during the year.
