Announcements for 3-10-13

We continue to gather as a combined parish on a weekly basis on Wednesday’s to journey with Jesus to the cross. The place of each gathering is as follows:  March 13^th at Hecla, March 20^th at Claremont. The gatherings on Wednesday will begin at 6:30pm with the meditation/gathering first and then we will share in a light meal for a time of fellowship.

The Mission Team and children of Britton UMC are focusing on supporting the Solar Oven Project for Haiti. The children will gather an offering of loose change each Sunday during Lent. The goal is to collect enough to buy solar ovens, the cooking equipment and cookbook. A solar oven will be set up in the entryway so you can see what you are supporting. Thank you in advance for supporting this vital mission project for the people of Haiti.

A Bible Study has started at Britton UMC on Wednesday, March 6^th at 9:30am. The study is titled “Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed” and is six week study of David. Everyone is invited to come and be a part of this study. Bring a friend as well.
