Opportunities! · Are you willing to commit one hour a week to
helping a student at Kenbridge Elementary tackle basic math? You do not need to be a math wiz or a trained teacher, you
simply need to be available and willing to give the one-on-one time that
many children need to thrive. Talk
to Pastor Andrew for more information. · Volunteers are needed to help residents in the
Northeast to “muck out” (clean out mud and other debris) homes that were
hit hard by the recent flooding.
United Methodist Volunteers in Mission (UMVIM) hope to have the work
done by November 1 before winter hits, so they need a lot of help! Talk to Pastor Andrew if you are
interested in finding out more.
