support the Mission of the Month: Room at the Inn.
Holiday Sponsors Needed - Please come to the Connector on
Sunday Nov. 1 or Nov. 8 to sign up to sponsor an individual or family
through the Voluntary Action Centers annual Christmas program.
Thanks to all who have already chosen a family to sponsor!
Golf Cart Drivers Needed - As the weather turns colder a
nice warm lift from the parking garage to the church is very much
appreciated by many of our members. In order to continue to
provide that service we are in need of volunteers willing to drive
the golf cart. Volunteering for this team involves a commitment
of just two hours on one Sunday each month. Schedules will not
interfere with the drivers ability to attend worship. Being part
of this team is a great opportunity to serve others as we all seek
to support the ministry and mission of Missouri UMC. Contact
Jo at 443-3111 or jo@moumc.org to find out more about this
opportunity to serve or to sign up for a spot on the team.
