A Change for 2019!! Be Aware!! Neighborhood Outreach (School Supplies/Backpack Ministry) ~ Saturday, July 27th, from 1 – 4 p.m. here at the church. This ministry has expanded into not just our neighborhood event but a city of Marion Event. There will be 3 locations involved, North at Mt. Zion Baptist, Central at Prospect Street UMC, and South at the St. Paul’s Lutheran near the Hospital. Each location will be a signup place for parents with their children to get a voucher for school supplies/backpacks at their individual schools on the first day of school in the Fall. We do not collect supplies or backpacks this year. All we need to do to help make this a success is, as a church, financially give to this project. If you would like to help, please place cash or a check (made out to Prospect Street UMC) in an envelope marked “Neighborhood Outreach” and place in collection plate or send to the church office. Then, what is collected will be sent in one check to the Marion Law Enforcement Trust which is handling the money and buying the backpacks and school supplies. One backpack filled with all the supplies needed will cost around $25.00. We need to make our payment by July 26th! Thank you, Karen Seckel
