Care-A-Van Ministries is in great need of clothing for kids going back to school. Your donation of any gently-used (or new) clothing and shoes that can be worn by a child from pre-school through high-school will be greatly appreciated. Just leave your donation by one of the Care-A-Van boxes at either entrance to the church. Please, no adult clothing at this time. Any questions, see Bruce Eaton or call the church office (759.8921).

Also, Care-A-Van is in need of large print Bibles, preferably the NIV version, and children’s clothing for its outreach ministries. Bibles can be left in the church office. Thanks!!

Women’s Fall Retreat:  Queen for a Day - For Such a Time as This

Our Fall Women’s Retreat, September 24 – 26, will take place at the River Rock Retreat Center on beautiful Lake Chautauqua. The theme is Queen for a Day - For Such a Time As This. We will study Queen Esther and also have the opportunity to be pampered with some spa activities. Our retreat leaders are Rev. Sharon Schaus and Rev. Jennifer Green, former members of Clarence United Methodist Church who now serve as United Methodist pastors. Cost for the weekend is $40.00 (non-refundable) which covers all meals and snacks. For those who would like to participate in the Spa activities there will be an additional cost to cover the supplies. A sign up sheet is in the Welcome Center or call our church office at 759-8921. Money is due by September 12 and may be given to Mary Schuler, Donna Bowers, or mailed/dropped off at our church office.

The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to fellowship and celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the 8 Recovery Principles found in the Beatitudes and Christ-centered 12 steps. This experience allows us to be changed.

Celebrate Recovery meets every Tuesday at 7:00 PM. Refreshments are served in the Welcome Center.
