Dear Members of Margaret Carter Sunday

School Class,

Thank you very much for your donation to

First United Methodist in memory of Jere. Our

family truly appreciates all your kindness,

sympathy, and prayers.

Love to you all,

Nancy Baldridge

Dear FUMC Friends,

On behalf of Bible Study Fellowship, thank

you for allowing us to use your facilities again

this year. We so appreciate your hospitality!

An average of 40 ladies attended each

Thursday as we studied Romans, and your

accommodation of us made it all work so well!

We are grateful for your partnership with us as

we aim to magnify God and nurture his people!

Lolly Bearden

Dear Church Family,

A little note with BIG thanks from me!

Thank you so much for the prayer shawl. It has

been a comfort to me both physically and

spiritually. Each time I look at it or touch it, I

think of your prayers for me.

With my love,

Terry Caudle

Dearest Faithful Church Members,

The United Methodist Women want to say

“Thank You” for your overwhelming support to

our annual, Fundraiser Spring Luncheon,

which brought in a record $5,034.00! There

will be more mission money to cover more

places of need.

Also from Sherilyn and the Holy Week Lunch

donations we received $513.72!

John Easley, we couldn’t do it without you

and your fun!!

Much appreciation to all for the many

contributions.\

United Methodist Women

Dear Members of First United Methodist

Church,

The Union City Board of Education

acknowledges your kind gift received for the

Back Pack Program in the amount of $300.00.

Your support of the Back Pack Program will

help ensure that children in need have

balanced, nutritious food necessary for learning

and growing. Thank you for supporting our

students beyond the classroom.

Sincerely,

Wesley N. Kennedy

Pack the Pantry

You can pick up a bag, fill it up and return it to the box placed in the

Mission Niche. Let’s “pack the pantry” with Toilet

Paper, Bars of Soap, Shampoo, Conditioner, Tooth Paste, Tooth

Brushes, Mouth Wash, Deodorant, Gallon Zip Lock Bags, and any other

Hygiene Products for Reelfoot Rural Ministries.

We will have a packing party on Wednesday, July 18th, at 12:00 Noon in the Fellowship Hall. Please bring

snacks to share while we are packing the hygiene bags.

Songs of Celebration and Joy The Sanctuary Choir invites all members of the

church to join them on Sunday, June 3rd, for a

special service. It will take place at the 10:50

Morning Worship time and will be exactly as the

title says, “Songs of Celebration and Joy”. This

will be the last Sunday for John and Delana, and

the choir wants to take the opportunity to share with the

congregation some of their favorite anthems from over the

many years. We hope you will be able to come and join us as

we praise our Lord and Savior in song!!

Following our musical service, you are invited to the Fellow-

ship Hall for a fish fry sponsored by the Character Builders

Sunday School Class. Donations received will be presented to

John and Delana Easley for their 22 and 31 years (respectively)

of faithful and dedicated service to their church.

Pastor’s Reception The Staff/Parish Relations Team extends a cordial invitation to a reception honoring Tim and Teresa Atkins. It will follow the 10:50 Morning Worship Service on Sunday, June 10th, in the Fellowship

Hall. Light refreshments will be served. We know you will not want to miss this opportunity to thank Tim and his family for their ministry in our church.

Due to up coming celebrations we will not have the

8:45 Morning Worship Service on

Sunday, June 3rd and June 10th.
