The Event runs June 25, 26, 27. There will be opportunities for you to sign up to help with the 5K Run, bring baked goods for the UMW Bake Sale, help serve lunch during the hot Dog Extravaganza and even be in the parade. Please pray for our mission work during this time, as we seek to do God’s will to bring the hospitality and love of Christ to our community. We are the hands of Jesus inviting, nurturing, equipping and sending disciples out to gather in more disciples. Following Christ is challenging in our modern society. There are so many choic- es and we have a lot of personal power which fools us into thinking we can handle life’s trials and suffering alone. Our OUMC hope is to share the love and power of God our creator, redeemer and sustainer through our mission and outreach work during Old Settler’s festival. May God bring us into what God is blessing. Please Excuse our Mess Joash Giving for 2015 is still in progress.
