Voncille Kissire funeral

All,

We had planned to host a church-wide breakfast this coming Saturday morning. We found out early this week that Voncille Kissire passed away. She had moved to Virginia to be near her family; she was a long time member of Plummerville UMC. The funeral is planned for Saturday afternoon. We will postpone the church-wide breakfast until a future date.

The Voncille Kissire funeral will be this Saturday at Plummerville UMC. We plan for lunch to be served at 1:00 and for the funeral to take place at 3:30. Church members are encouraged to bring a dish and assist in the lunch.

Please keep the Kissire/James family in your prayers.

Please share this information with others who might not see this email.

Grace and Peace,

Dane

Disaster Relief Buckets

Due to the recent weather related disasters in Arkansas our church is preparing relief buckets. The Arkansas Rice Depot, a long time partner of the ARUMC, collects the buckets and distributes them to needed areas. The buckets are designed to assist in cleanup efforts.

We strongly encourage everyone in the church to prepare a bucket or two or three. Making financial donations is obviously appreciated, but often people experiencing these types of disasters need supplies, not cash. If you are able, please consider participating. This is an obvious way to extend the Love and Grace of Christ to our sisters and brothers in need across the state.

Your prepared bucket is due back SUNDAY 5/15/11. We need to collect these quickly so they can be distributed quickly!

Contents:
5 gallon bucket with lid
1 Scrub Brush
5 Scouring Pads
18 Cleaning Towels (reusable)
7 sponges, assorted sizes
Laundry Detergent 50 oz.
Household Cleaner 12 oz.
