The Stephen Ministers are hosting a chili cook-off fundraiser and family game night on Saturday, March 8.  Join us for food, fun, and fellowship from 5-9 p.m. in the FLC.  The Stephen Ministers will be providing their own chili entries, so come and vote for your favorites!  In addition, there will be board games and field games for all ages.  If you have a game you want to share, feel free to bring it along!  There’s no cost; however, donations would be greatly appreciated.  Contact Kirsten Turner at kirsteneturner@gmail.com, or Krissy Stark at krissystark@gmail.com with any questions.

DFUMC is sponsoring a Backpack Program at Herschel Jones Middle School. The children that are in the Backpack Program will receive food that will help feed them through the weekend. Every Friday, a bag of food will be sent home with the children in the program. DFUMC will be providing the food that is needed to help feed the children every weekend during the school year. Each child will receive 1 juice box, 1 fruit cup, 2 breakfast items, 2 snack items, and 2 meal items.  

Donations of the following items are needed:

- Juice Boxes

- Fruit Cups

- Instant Grits and/or Instant Oatmeal

- Individually Wrapped Snacks (pretzels, chips, crackers, granola bars, etc.)

- Meal Items (Easy Mac, Ramen Noodles, Peel off cans of soup or individual pasta meals)

 Donated items can be placed in Room B107 (Fellowship Hall) or given to the church office.

 If you would like to make a donation to this program, a donation of $5 will feed 1 child for 1 weekend. A donation of $20 will feed 1 child for the month. Please label the memo section “Outreach” to donate to the backpack Program. You are helping to make the difference in a child’s life!
