As we accelerate into Vacation Bible School planning season, our most urgent need is finding a snack person, a snack team, or a snack family.
Activities include the UWF’s Rummage Sale for Missions, our walking taco stand, and the Learning Tree’s bake sale.
The Vacation Bible School team has set the dates for this year’s “Block Party” as August 3–6th. We will gather from 6:00–8:00 pm each evening.
The Easter egg hunt will be held on the SUMC lawns between services on Easter Sunday (April 20). This requires many hands. We have two opportunities for volunteers:

The Christmas season has been a time of beauty, joy, and togetherness throughout our church, but now it’s time for the “Unhanging of the Greens!” We’d love for you to join us as we carefully take down the decorations in the Sanctuary, Parlor, Simpson Room, and Hallways and pack them away for next year.
On Saturday, December 14th, eleven volunteers from SUMC distributed fresh produce in Northview Heights to 38 households with approximately 150 children. The produce was provided by Northside Food Pantry Advisors and included potatoes, onions, peppers, tomatoes, apples, bananas, oranges, lemons, celery, kale, and collard greens. The produce is purchased the day of distribution from Consumer Fresh Produce. We had a terrific group who efficiently and caringly distributed the produce within an hour.
This is a great way to get involved with a project that does not require much time but helps a community in need. Our next distribution will be February 15th. Look for the notice in the announcements, and let me know if you can volunteer.
Are you gifted with sewing? We need a volunteer who can make covers for chairs used on the chancel.
The Witness Committee is hoping to grow our “cookie team” to provide snacks, once a month, for the Alcoholics Anonymous meetings held in our building.

When our Pumpkin Patch opens for customers on September 30, we need volunteers to run the Patch every day. There is no need to lift pumpkins at this beloved community event. We just need friendly faces. Please consider signing up for 2 (or more) hour shifts. Maybe even the same shift each week. Here’s the link to volunteer to work at The Patch.
