STOUT MEMORIAL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH


Making Disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the World


 

Church Workday — September 26
 

Let’s get together and give our church a little TLC! Join us on Saturday, September 26 at 9:00 AM for a church workday. 

We’ll be working both inside and outside the church, with projects including landscaping, yard cleanup, and        general work around the church grounds. There will be plenty to do, big and small, so come lend a hand if you can! 

Bring your energy, and if you have work gloves or a few basic tools, feel free to bring those along too. 

Saturday, September 26 • 9:00 AM
We’d love to see you there!
