SHOUT OUTS!
First UMC Melrose MA: We are currently at $4,350 (almost half-way to our ambitious goal). The Sunday School children raised $1200 over Christmas by making ornaments (clear plastic balls with bits of colored “net” inside). They hung on the sanctuary Christmas tree and anyone who made a $10 donation to INM could take one home. The Sunday School kids have decorated coin card ($10 worth of quarters) as Valentines for Africa. The children are asking people in the congregation to give them to family and friends to be filled and then returned when full. Pastor Stacey
