 PRIMERA IGLESIA NEEDSCAN AND BOTTLE RETURNS for Youth

Primera Iglesia Metodista Unida is turning hungry people away because the shelves at the food pantry are empty.  They urgently need:
• White Rice
• Goya kidney beans (or any store brand)
• ANY chicken (breast, drumsticks, thighs) {they have freezers}

Thanks to all who bring in all their returnable cans and bottles for the youth to return.  Just a reminder to make sure they are rinsed out and free of any garbage before they are placed in the bin.

OFFICE MAX

OfficeMax has a new way for us to get money back for returning ink and toner cartridges as well as cell phones (much more varieties are excepted this way also).  We have a recycling kiosk located in the hallway outside Fellowship Hall for collecting, and then we send them to OfficeMax in postage paid boxes and wait for our check.  Any questions please see Chris Raduluff in the office (992-4211).

RED BIRD MISSION PLANS FOR 2011

We need to know if anyone is interested in going to Red Bird Mission (a division of Methodist Global Missions).  Tell us what works best – May, Sept. or October 2011.  We have 3 people interested as of today.  We need at least 6 others who plan to go.  All ages (above 14) are welcomed.  The cost is $280/pp at Red Bird.  This will be a one week mission.   We MUST know by this fall if you can go; so we can get on their schedule for 2011.  Call, or email us of your possibility of joining the team from our church.
