Have you checked out the tent in the lobby? Check out the camping display for options on summer camps for everyone! Pick up a brochure in the lobby and plan “Camp Minnesota” for this summer. First UMC will be giving a 75% campership to anyone who will be attending camp this year. Please contact the church office for our discount code to enter as you register online or by mail. It’s another great time to gather at Pizza Ranch on Sunday, March 11! Everyone is invited to join together at the Pizza Ranch after worship on next Sunday. Lunch is on your own. Don't forget to pick up a Pizza Ranch gift card in the lobby before you go! Sponsored by Congregational Life. We'll see you there! March Food Share is one of the many ways our church is in mission in our local community. This month we encourage families to donate to the food drive and encourage our children to be involved in selecting a food item that would be a delight or treat for the children in families accessing our local emergency food shelf. Cash donations are also appreciated to purchase perishable items. Indicate “Food Shelf” on your check donation. Boy Scout Pancake Breakfast will be held on Sunday, March 18 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the American Legion.
