Since Campbell is moving, we have blue adult choir robes and stoles as well as red children's choir robes to give to any church that can use them. They have the cross and flame so we cannot leave them for the church buying our building. We also have some hymnals if anyone needs those. Please contact Terry Jepson at Campbell UMC at [link removed] [email protected]
3 or 4 crates of UMC hymnals were "donated" to a volunteer org in Bolivar. I was contacted by one of the volunteers concerning the books. See if I could find a home for them. Do we know of any UMC that could use these pre-loved hymnals? mailto:[email protected] [email protected] Please put Attention Melanie
The Church in Diamond is wondering if there are any area churches that would need any sets of paraments for the altar or United Methodist Hymnals. We have a virtually brand new set (and some older pieces) that they would love to see go to a church that could use them. We also have a large number of hymnals that could use a home. Do you know of any churches that could use them? Please contact Todd at [link removed] [email protected] or (636) 221-2359 if you are interested or know any church that could benefit from them.
