Church volunteers donated supplies, spent days preparing food for cooking, baking pies and cookies, cooking, and finally serving up a delicious turkey dinner on October 5th to over 550 hungry people.   The whole church was involved in one way or another and even the children pitched in to help.  Lots of work?  Yes.  But everyone has a lot of fun doing it.  How long has UMCL put on a turkey dinner?  Not sure exactly, but decades!

There is no better way to begin a school year than with a blessing.  Children gathered for a special Children's Moment and blessing for a good and safe school year.

Fifty children enjoyed a week of fun as they explored learning more about the light of the world, Jesus.

March 30th, over 100 children showed up on a bright, sunny Saturday to have fun "hunting" the eggs, creating cards and decorations, and enjoying hot chocolate and fish crackers in the Fellowship Hall.
Youth Group helped get everything set up scattering eggs across the lawn, placing signs, and preparing for the children to arrive.
The Egg Hunt took about 3 minutes with every egg found!

Food, fun and fellowship for everyone that attended the annual Progressive Dinner.  Beginning with appetizers at church and progressing to homes for soup and salad, then back to the Fellowship Hall for dessert, folks met new people, enjoyed lots of great conversation, and, of course, enjoyed the delicious foods all evening long.

The Christmas season at UMCL begins with Hanging of the Greens in early December.  Each Sunday of Advent a candle in the Advent Wreath is lit with the final candle lit at the Christmas Eve Service.  The UMCL choir prepares and sings a beautiful cantata.  Other activities include a make and take Christmas ornament event for the children and packing the 100 plus dozen cookies made by the women for the Toys for Tots families and homebound in the community.
