The next monthly Men's Fellowship Breakfast will be held on Saturday, August 7th, 8 am at the New Towne Diner. Join us for fellowship and lively good humored banter with the guys over a delicious ala care breakfast. Get the latest info about upcoming activities for men. Get a jump on your weekend by relaxing with the guys. All men are welcome to attend and to bring a friend.

The Men's Fellowship will continue the men's group study The Ragamuffin Gospel on Wednesday evenings at 7 pm in 308 Main St. We will continue to meet weekly during August. Join us to learn more about God's "furious love" for us - even though we come to him in much less perfect condition. All men are encouraged to visit and try it a few times.

Reisterstown Cooperative Parish Men's Ministry Winter Day Retreat‏ - On February 27, 2010, the Men's Group had its first Winter Retreat, a one day event at Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church. The men had the opportunity to share with one another a review of the Last Supper and Jesus' time in the Garden of Gethsemane where his arrest took place. We learned about some of the historic facts and the spiritual as they occurred. We were blessed with the time we got to share together as we learned more about how Christ lived and died for us and his binding us with God's love. The study will continue for the next 5 weeks on Wednesday Evenings as we learn more about what occurred in the last 24 Hours of Jesus' life as a man. Please come join us in the journey.

Gift Cards - The United Methodist Women are selling gift cards each month as a fundraiser. The profits are used for our missionary work and to support special projects. Please consider purchasing gift cards from us to use for everyday purchases and for gifts. The order forms are on the bulletin boards in the Narthex and near the Fellowship Hall. Any questions, please call Tammy Nash.

Did You Know! - Our church has a monthly scrapbook day! Over the past 2 years all money raised has been donated to the following church groups:

• Youth group - $1,695
• Men's Ministry - $342
• Church for heat and a.c. - $260
• Chancel Choir (for help setting up) $60

This has indeed been a win/win event. The scrap bookers love the all day crop for only $8, and the church groups have earned easy money for just setting up or taking down the tables used. ATTENTION SCRAPBOOKERS: Everyone is welcome to join us. If you are interested in joining us for one of these "No Frills" crops please contact Barb Rhodes.

Future dates for our crops are Saturdays March 20, April 3, and May 1.
