The world famous Salem UMC Spring Luncheon is going to be on Saturday, April 17th!  This has been a wonderful event, full of all kinds of table settings, food, and fun!

This doesn’t happen all by itself, though – table setters are still needed!  Information about when tickets go on sale, the menu, and the entertainment will be coming out soon (so keep watching!).

Daylight Savings Time kicks in at 2 a.m. on Sunday March 14, 2010, moving clocks forward one hour, your clocks spring forward this weekend

You may have wanted to help our backpack program and the kids it helps, but the scheduling didn’t work.  You may have wanted to support one of the other community/youth programs we have, but for whatever reason, couldn’t. Here is a way you can help!

The schools are having their book fair.  This brings a wonderful variety of worlds into their hands.  Some kids, however, can’t afford a book.  That is where you can help!  The book fair is in April. We’re a little late getting started, so they really need you to prayerfully consider supporting this.  Bring your donations into the church office.  You can change a kid’s life.

Monday evening at 7:30 you are invited to join us to discuss how to make the prayer ministry of SUMC more meaningful and effective.  Ideas include a new prayer chapel as well as specific times and activities.   Hope you can join in.  Can you hear me now?
