Bundle Up for Buffalo, our annual fundraiser to assist the Senaca
Street UMC in Buffalo, NY with their winter heating costs, is on Saturday,
November 15th, and Sunday, November 16th. If you like to
bake, sew, paint, or craft, this is the chance to offer up your creativity for
a very worthy cause. The rest of us get to admire your work and do some Christmas
shopping!
Please bring the sale items donations to the Dorothy L. Rainey Fellowship
Hall on Friday, November 14th, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. You will be
assigned a spot to display your creations, and please bring a small tablecloth
if you like. Expect the sale items be crowded together, as our sale has grown
in the past years.
Bundle Up for Buffalo begins at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, November
15th, and closes at 2:00 p.m. It will open on Sunday after the
8:15 a.m. service has ended, will be closed during both 11:00 a.m. services,
and will re-open at noon and finish by 1:00. We ask you to please take any of
your unsold items home with you, as there is no place to store them at the
church once the sale is over. You can share them with Sherry Ferguson who has a
wonderful place for them at her school.
All proceeds go to Seneca Street UMC in Buffalo, to assist with
their winter heating costs. There is a great need for the heat to be kept on in
part of the church where 65+ children arrive after school every day. Heat is on
from October to April (and often May) in that part of our country. The afterschool
program provides them with a healthy snack, warm greetings, and volunteers to help them
with their homework until their moms get home from work.
Pastor Dee Finch, Pastor Brian Rotach and Cheryl Bird will be
coming from Buffalo. If you would like one of them to speak to your Sunday
School on November 16th, please make your request as soon as possible.
You can also join the Forum Sunday School class that day where one of them will
be scheduled. For more
information, please contact Beth Intondi at 404-408-1657.
