Rainbow Ringers & Trinity Ringers

nights. Watch the bulletin for a new
day and time to be announced soon.
Sundays in February and early March,
you will have the
opportunity to
help our youth do their part in feeding the
hungry of Alamance County. At the same
time, you can vote for your favorite
basketball team… Carolina, Duke, NC State, and
others. Here is how it will work. Each Sunday, our youth
will be collecting canned food and money. Remember
1 dollar counts as 5 cans. Money totals will be added up
and we will see based on your donations which team is
Mebane UMC’s favorite. All of the donations will go to
the Corridor District Youth’s Canned Food Drive. So
start gathering those extra cans and all of your dollar
bills. Help our youth reach out to the “least of these” in
the name of Jesus.
April 9, 2016
