Peanut Butter Blitz!! Help us make our 500 jar goal by this Sunday. Our Kids Ministry partners with MadCAAP to provide peanut butter for the community food pantry. We are close to meeting our goal, but let's suprise our kids and go over our goal; we'll have more to take MadCAAP!

East Flora Elementary School Assistant Principal Brande Winstead

We dropped off coffee and donuts to the teachers and staff at East Flora Elementary this morning. East Flora has six new teachers on staff this year, so we were also able to supply the new teachers with gift cards to assist with school supplies for their classrooms. Keep our teachers and students in your prayers as the new school year begins.

It takes a congregation...

Thanks to all the planners, the cooks, the servers, the cleaner-uppers for making our Wednesday night shrimp boil/water balloon battle a success!

The Choctaw Mission, on the Reservation in Philadelphia, has existed since the 1800s as a ministry of the United Methodist Conference in Mississippi. The Mission cares and works with the Choctaw people to enrich the lives of children, young people, and families through community outreach, spriritual enrichment, and leadership development. Because children make up the majority of the 11,000 Tribal Members' population, the Mission's purpose for the young people is to provide spiritual and emotional wellbeing to build self-esteem, develop leadership skills, and nurture life skills for a brighter future.
