Tuesday Work Days

Come join us on Tuesday evenings at 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to work in the Smith house to get ready for the office move. All laborers, skilled and unskilled, are needed. Laborers, all you have to do is show up. Wear clothes and bring gloves or other supplies that may come in handy if you have them. It is air conditioned!

If you don't feel like you could provide manual labor but would like to help in some way, here is your opportunity: We would like to provide a light supper for those working (grilled hot dogs, pizza, sandwiches, etc.). If you would like to provide a meal, please call the church office or sign up in the bulletin.

Ministering Seniors

The senior adults of our church now have a job board on which to place requests for help with small jobs around the house or trips to the doctor, library, store, etc. The board is located at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor in the church. Please check the board to see if you can help out with any of the requests.

Dulcimer Lessions

FUMC will be offering classes in playing mountain dulcimer beginning Wednesday, January 11, 6:30-7:30. No musical experience is necessary, and the dulcimer is very beginner-friendly. Come learn to play your favorite hyms, seasonal music, and folk favorites. You do not need a dulcimer as loaner instruments will be available. The cost for the class is $10 for the lesson book. All are welcome, twelve years old and older, including through senior citizens. Call 334-283-3045 for further information.

An Easy Way to Help Our Schools

With education budgets being cut in schools these days, we have a simple and easy way to help our schools. Box Tops for Education and "Campbell's" Labels for Education provide money to schools. Please consider collecting these for our schools. A box has been placed in front of the church office for box tops and labels. Lacey Brewer will be responsible for collecting them and giving them to the Tallassee schools. http://www.boxtops4education.com http://www.labelsforeducation.com/

Hospice Needs

Our church collects non-perishable items for Hospice such as: assorted canned soups, crackers, assorted canned vegetables, spaghetti noodles, Jell-O, boxed macaroni and cheese, toilet paper, soap, toothpaste, razors, and paper towels. There is a basket in front of the office for items. Thank you in advance for your donations.
