Inmates at the Madison County Detention Center are in need of books. They are only allowed paperbacks delivered directly from Amazon. If anyone is interested in sponsoring a book or two, please send $10 or $20 to the church (offering plate, mail, or easyTithe. If writing a check, put MCDC in the memo line) and we’ll place the order from the office. Rev. Nate has a list of requested titles. Thanks so much.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to card making supplies for the children and youth of Union Church. If you would like to join in the one-hour “how to” session after church at 11:45 on October 20, there are a few spots left. Jeff Carpenter from Berea’s Arts Accelerator Program will lead the group. Have fun learning to make cards for those in our congregation who may be the recipients of the care-cards. Email Teri Mehler at teri@kellymehler.com to sign up or for more information.
