The Mission Committee sends out a heart-felt thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s garage sale a tremendous success. Once again our Family Life Center was piled high amazing treasures. Volunteers delivered and unloaded truckloads of donated items, clothes, household goods and furniture. Then more volunteers transformed it all into one of Claremore’s most visited and talked about events!
Not even mother nature and her wicked storms could keep the people away.
Fun was had by volunteers and shoppers alike!
Thanks to all of your dedication to this missions project this year we raised more than $11,000! The money will be used in local and international missions. Once again you have answered the call to care for our Lord’s children around the world.
A Day Apart is a United Methodist Women Spiritual Growth Retreat. It will take place April 14 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and the First United Methodist Church of Bartlesville. Our church bus will leave our parking lot at 8 a.m. and return around 4 p.m. Reservations were required by April 6.
Georgia Tully will discuss “Sew Dresses for Africa”. She will provide simple, easy patterns as well as instructions and examples. UMW membership is not required. Love offerings will be accepted for lunch.
Donate your treasures and help purchase an ark full of animals for the Heifer Project. The Church garage sale will take place April 14 from 8 a,m. until 2 p.m. Set up times are April 12 and 13 from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. We need volunteers for all three days. Please bring your unwanted treasures during the set up times. Funds from the garage sale go towards the Ark Project. Our garage sale just keeps getting better every year!
Also, the children were given ark banks in their Sunday school classes; banks are also available in the disciple hall. Help the kids fill their banks so we can fill an ark with animals. Families will receive live animals to provide a continual source of food and income. The offspring will be passed on to others in their communities. These gifts of livestock will bless many lives.
So donate to the kids’ ark banks then bring your treasures to sell in the garage sale. Don’t forget to come to the garage sale Saturday morning to buy someone else’s wonderful treasures. It is all for a good cause.
Come! Hear the best news the world has ever heard! Jesus Christ has risen! He has risen indeed!

The victory cross will be over flowing with cut flowers provided by the congregation (don’t forget!).
The Children’s Easter Service will take place in the Children’s Center at 9:45 and 11:00. At each service they will be treated to an Easter Egg hunt, puppet show and maybe even a visit by a furry friend with big ears!
