SUMMER CHANGE FOR CCM – RESULTS!

During the month of July the children of Memorial United Methodist collected pocket change for Cooperative Community Ministry (CCM). During Sunday worship services, as they gathered for the Moment With Children, they walked through the congregation shaking coffee collection cans. Thanks to their efforts and your generosity they collected $500.00(!) that will go directly to Cooperative Community Ministry (CCM). Thank you for your part in making some generous noise in July.
