You may also purchase whole butts this year (each yields a little over 4lbs. on average) which will also include a finishing sauce normally put on the pulled meat.

United Methodist Women – September News

The old cookbooks are still available. We are suggesting that food donations to Urban Ministries of Durham may be made in exchange for the cookbooks. Donated items may be left in the collection bins outside the sanctuary door.

 

 


 


Knit – Purl – Pray

Knit, Purl, Pray, our group of knitters and yarn enthusiasts, is planning to offer some of our items for sale on Saturday, November 9 and after the worship service on November 10.

If you are interested in joining us, KPP meets on the second and fourth Saturday of each month. Sometimes holidays or other church activities necessitate a change in the schedule, and we try to post a notice if this is the case. At our regularly scheduled meeting on Saturday, October 12, we are planning a “field trip” to visit some of the yarn stores in the area. All skill levels are welcome to become a part of this service and fellowship group.

State Fair – Sign Up Early!

State FairIt’s that time of year again…time to sign up to work at the N.C. State Fair, which will be held on October 17 – 27, 2013. This is the largest fundraiser for our church and we can’t be successful without everyone’s help. The amount of money that we earn is calculated on the number of slots we fill! As in past years, there will be two time slots available (one day-time and one night-time) for each of the 11 fun-filled days! We will carpool from the parking lot each morning and afternoon.

Sign-up sheets are posted in the hallway. We are asking that you schedule the days and/or nights that you can work now instead of waiting until later. We need to fill as many slots early in order to communicate the schedule with Creedmoor United Methodist Church.

Make Every Day Count: Youth Sunday School

Attention, Youth. We’ve started a new study just for you called Make Every Day Count. This study talks about ways that you can make each day count whether it is a peaceful day or a sour day, a grateful day or a stressed out day. This study is written by Max Lucado, a minister from San Antonio, Texas. There is a book that might be available but we will discuss the points he makes and some questions that have been prepared just for young people. The end of each chapter has a Daylifter page that will give you something to think about and take with you as you start your week.
