Mark this date February 12, 2017 on your calendar. The JM UMM will be hosting a Valentine Luncheon in the Fellowship Hall following Worship. (This luncheon was
formerly called the Joe Neal Valentine Dinner). Join us for a time of showing love for each other as Christ loved all. The menu, prepared by Scott Ramsey, will be;
Delicious Roast Pork Loin, Dreamy Mashed Potatoes,
Lovely Green Beans, Tenderly Tossed Salad and Be My Sweet Dessert.
The cost for the luncheon will be by donation with all proceeds to benefit projects of the JM UMM. Common English Bibles are available at the bottom of the ramp to the parlor. If you would like to follow along during the scripture reading, feel free to take a copy and leave it in your pew.
Reservations will be necessary, so please watch the
weekly Whisper, JM e-mail announcements and the February Voice for further information.
The JM UMM look forward to serving you at the Luncheon.
