Choirs throughout the district are asked to offer a short piece of music and then join in one piece at the end of the service for all choirs. If you are interested in participating, please call/email the District Office at 304.366.6811 or monvalleydistrict@wvumc.org by April 5, 2024. Everyone in the district is invited to come hear some awesome music and support our West Virginia missions by bringing your monetary donations for Celebration of Mission. There will also be gift baskets to auction.
Silent Auction for C.O.M.E.Sunday, May 19 | 2:00-4:00 PM | Gateway UMC, FairmontA Silent Auction will also be included in this celebration. We are asking each church to donate a theme basket for the Silent Auction. Ideas for the theme baskets are kitchen, baby, tools, school supplies, craft supplies, garden, kid's art supplies, cosmetics, family night (board games & snacks), sports, movie night, etc. Baskets may be wicker, laundry, Rubbermaid bins, wheelbarrows, wagons, or just a plain cardboard box, - use your imagination! Please shrink-wrap and decorate your basket. You should include your church's name as "Donated by" and a list of items in the basket. Your church could collect money from members and have one person arrange the basket or have members bring individual items in and assemble the basket as a group project - this is a great Sunday School project.
If your church would like to make more than one basket, remember the money raised will go directly to United Methodist Missions. Baskets need to be at Gateway by 1:45 on Sunday, May 19, 2024. The Silent Auction begins at 2:00 and ends at 4:00. Winners of the baskets must be present and pick up their basket at 4:00. Any questions, please call Barbara Metcalfe (304-366-2107) or Ginny Davidson (304-363, 9241). We look forward to seeing several baskets for the silent auction to support our West Virginia Missions! |
