Book Nook at the Fish Fry
The Book Nook is happening during fish fry again this year. We need books, especially for children and young adults, puzzles for all ages, craft kits and craft supplies, games and toys. You can bring them to the coat room off the narthex. All proceeds go to our mission partner, Family Promise.
Worship Outside the Walls
Sunday, July 20 | 10:00 AM | Shadeland Ave. Parking Lot
Join us for an all-church worship service outside under the fish fry tent. Come and check out our new format for outdoor worship this year.
Pick-a-Bus School Supplies
Donations Accepted Through July 27
July is a busy month at CUMC: Gleaners, Fish Fry, and yes, Pick-a-Bus. It’s not too early to begin shopping for school supplies! We will be supplying backpacks and supplies to our neighborhood schools, Crestview Elementary and Skiles Test Elementary as well as Family Promise (formerly IHN). Items are due July 27. Donation boxes will be available in the Narthex and at the church office.
GriefShare: A Support Group to Help You Move Through the Grief Process
New Session Begins August 11
A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. You’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way. The new session begins on August 11 and will continue on Monday evenings at 6:00 PM through October 27.
Gleaners Mobile Food Pantry Volunteers
2nd & 4th Tuesdays | June through August
No one should have to choose between putting food on the table or paying rent. Gleaners and Castleton United Methodist Church are partnering again this summer to bring the Gleaners Mobile Food Pantry to our area. Distribution continues on the Castleton UMC campus on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month on the following dates: July 22, August 12, and August 26. There are still volunteer opportunities available for the July and August dates.
