April 19th, a rainy Saturday, UMCL volunteers quickly changed plans to hide over 2,700 eggs inside the church before the many, many children arrived to have fun "hunting" the eggs.  The candy filled plastic eggs were scattered throughout the classrooms, Gathering Area, hall, and Fellowship Hall.
The Egg Hunt took about 4 minutes with every egg found!

One-day, Fun-day VBS for children age 4 - grade 5.  Western theme with Bible stories, crafts, activities, lots of singing, and even lunch.
41 children had a ton of "Western" fun, and many teens and adults volunteered as teachers, helpers, kitchen cooks, registration, and much more. 

Everyone love to fellowship and eat!  The annual Progressive Dinner is an event filled with fun, food and fellowship.  Beginning at the church for an amazing spread of appetizers, folks are scattered to different homes for a selection of salad and sides, then off to another home for delicious soups.  Finally, everyone gathers back at church to round out the afternoon with a wide selection of desserts.

After church everyone enjoyed the Christmas Brunch with ham, cheesy potatoes, fruits and other delicious foods.

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.
