Youth Fundraisers

The Youth are planning some exciting activities next year.  We will be traveling to Jackson in early spring to attend "The Gathering," a youth conference hosted by the youth council of our MS Conference of the UMC.  This will be a great weekend of worship and fellowship with other youth groups from around the State.  Also, next summer, we will be attending "Bigstuf" in Panama City, Florida in June.  We will have a great week of worship and fun.  You can help us with funding for these and other activities by:

Taking an envelope off our beach themed tree in the Narthex.  The envelopes are numbered 1-100.  We ask that your donation be the amount of the number on your envelope.  Have some fun with this.  You could select your favorite number, a wedding anniversary, or you could locate 25 and donate $25 for our "25 Days of Generosity" Advent theme.

Thank you so much for your support and generosity.  If you have any questions, please contact Mary Woodruff @ 228-324-9235 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
