Missions Page 5 Missions We have so much coming up and a lot of mission opportunities ahead. Farmers Market - We will begin our famer's market ministry on Saturday, June 5th and go through each Saturday of the summer. We collect donated produce at the close of the farmer's market on Saturday's and bring that back to the church, sort the produce, and distribute the produce into blessing boxes across town. If you are interested in helping with this mission, there will be a sign up sheet at the church or send an email to the church and we will get you on the list. Teacher Appreciation Bags - We will be putting together small appreciation bags for all the staff at Carnall and Cavanaugh Elementary Schools. We will put these together on Wednesday, May 19th at 5:00 at cavanaugh. We are asking for donations of any individually wrapped chocolates or candies to put in the bags. You can bring them on Sunday mornings or drop them by the church office. We will be collecting these through Sunday, May 16th. Wesley UMC Newsletter Community Garden - For those who do not know, Wesley, has partnered with the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance and Carnall Elementary to place a community garden on the playground of Carnall. Since it began we have planted and harvested turnips and sweet potatoes. This has been a great experience and learning opportunity for the kids at Carnall and has done great things to help fight hunger in our community. With all the rain we’ve had lately it has been difficult for the Hunger Alliance to get out and get the ground ready for our new crop to be planted. Brandon with the Alliance is hoping to get out here as soon as the ground is dry enough so that we can plant sweet potatoes sometime this month. As soon as we know more, we will make sure everyone is made aware. Change Jars - Keep your change!!! The missions committee will be passing out change jars very soon to send home with members to collect your change. Once a month you will bring the jar back, we will count the change and whatever is collected will be donated to a mission program or non-profit we have chosen for that month. If you have a program or place you would like to see the donations given to, please let us know. We are open to suggestions. May 2021
