Festival of Sharing

This year, upon recommendation from the United Methodist Church conference, the LaGrange United Methodist Church kept their Festival of Sharing close to home.  It was the churches decision to give all donated items and monies to the LaGrange Youth Center.   The Festival began with a kick off on September 22.  A fellowship meal was enjoyed in the evening in the church fellowship hall at which time sheets were handed out for the first week (September 29) for donations.  That list included paper products…bathroom tissue, Kleenex, paper towels, etc.  The week of October 6 brought donations of cleaning supplies.  The third week of donations was devoted to school supplies.  The final week (October 13) donations of soda, bottled water, candy and gum were given.  In addition to all of the donated items the final Sunday was also topped off with money donations of $165.19.  On Sunday, October 13, all of the donations were delivered to the Youth Center.  The children’s Sunday school department assisted in delivering the items.  A new pool cue along with ping pong balls was on the wish list also—both of which were donated. 

Everyone in the congregation was pleased to be able to help within our own community and are confident that everything will be put to very good use
