EUMC TRUSTEES
If you are needing any wood for summer fire pits, bon fires, campfires or at your home fireplace, there is free fire wood available at the church in the north yard behind the fire bushes.  There are sections of 18” tall by 3’ in diameter.  It is free to anyone who wishes to take it.

Painter needed for a bedroom at the Parsonage. We have a bedroom in the basement of the parsonage that needs to be painted.  We are waiting to see what color Madison {Pastor Ron/Krishna’s daughter} would like for that room. The paint will be provided. If you would like to help, please see Bill Dorsch if you or a crew would like to tackle that project.
