Clarence United Methodist Church
“ If you are in search of a church family , please join us at 10am Sunday .”
The Clarence United Methodist Church is buzzing this summer ! We are busy preparing for Vacation Bible School . This year we are holding it August 5 - 9 beginning each evening with a meal at 5:30 pm . All children , ages 4-11 ( 3 yr olds welcome if potty-trained ) are invited to this fun event . They do not have to be members of our church ... all are welcome . Our Sewing Circle has been busy completing some quilts the second Thursday of the month . It is a great way to stay cool if you would like to join them ! On August 4th we will be holding our annual WORSHIP AT THE POND . It will be held at the Craig and Kathy Irons ' farm . Every year we look forward to praising God surrounded by the beauty of his creation and Craig and Kathy are such good hosts too . If you would like to attend , bring your lawn chair and a covered dish for the potluck afterwards . We are continuing Sunday School during the summer this year . The children are excused during the worship service to their class and return near the close of the service . This seems to work well and both the parents and children are enjoying it . The UMW is already making plans for their annual Bazaar which may have an earlier date this fall . Be sure to watch for further details . Our youth group is taking the summer off , but have plans to travel to Waterloo to the water park . That should be a great time and cool activity for the hot , summer days ! The Clothing Closet is busy as ever ! The communities in our area have been extremely generous and keep our rods and racks overflowing with beautiful , slightly worn clothes . If fact , for the next few weeks we are asking that only XL or bigger adult clothes or children ' s clothes be brought in . Our spare room is running out of space . We ask that if you have something for our closet , please DO NOT leave your donation outside the door . We accept donations Tuesday and Thursday mornings and Wednesday evening 5:30-6:30 . If you are in search of a church family , please join us at 10 AM Sunday . We are a friendly , family-like congregation and would love to meet you !
