Neighborhood Table-October 11

The Fall season is on its way and will bring the next Neighborhood Table on Wednesday, October 11 at 6pm in the Event Center.  Be ready for a great meal provided by the United Methodist Women.  Your donation of $7 per person or $20 per family of three or more will go to GRACE, specifically their Christmas Cottage.  UMW will be preparing ham, scallop potatoes, green beans, salad and dressings, rolls, desserts, tea and water.  You’ll want to be first in line for that!

Christmas Cottage is a GRACE program that provides new, unwrapped gifts to families facing financial hardship due to limited income or recent emergency.  Our church will be helping provide toys and other gifts.  Bring an unwrapped to the October 11^th  meal to help kick off the toy drive.

Project Read

Do you want to be involved in our community and help a child to read?  Then our Project Read program at Glenhope Elementary School may be the right fit for you!  In past years of the program, the principal of Glenhope Elementary, Dr. Wynette Griffin reported that the average test scores for Kinder through 2nd grade at Glenhope outpaced the average test scores for the district and she said that our FUMCC volunteers who faithfully read with their students, some who face difficult challenges, greatly contributed to their success.   

Project Read volunteers are partnered with a student to provide 30 minutes of one-to-one tutoring each week from October through May during school hours.    It is expected that volunteers may miss an occasional week due to vacations, etc.
