Praise The Lord:
Spring FISH Day 2013- April 20th. Thanks to over 50 volunteers that used their Saturday morning to help our church and people in our community! Volunteers participated in activities such as handing out water bottles at Clark’ s Creek Greenway, collecting food at Harris Teeter for Loaves and Fishes, cleaning out storage closets at the church, spending time with the residents of Huntersville Oaks and the Laurels, serving breakfast at Charlotte Rescue Mission and much more! We are blessed to have a church family that serves so willingly!

Want to help with a mission trip that’ s not so far away? Come to Oceana, WV! Trip will be July 6-13 and costs $ 150. Activities may include organizing a day camp for children that live in the area, service projects, construction, and more. Our first interest meeting will be May 19th at 2pm. For more information contact Lee Zeigler, lzeigler @ ucumc. org or 704-369-8017.
Don’ t forget that there are Stoplight Packs available at the Missions Table in the Connections Hallway. Feel free to take one for your family to have on hand to pass out to our homeless neighbors! It is called a“ Stoplight Pack” but don’ t let that stop your family or you from purposefully going to a homeless person, share the pack and have a conversation. One the greatest ways we can help folks might be to remind him or her that he or she is still a human worthy of dignity and love!
