Service Hours, 2/24/09 @ TUMC

Announcement from David Chambers, Youth Director, TUMC

If any of you are looking for an hour of community service, or would just like to help out in a fun way, this might be a great opportunity for you…

On Tuesday February 24th, we have a great tradition in celebrating Fat Tuesday or otherwise known as Shrove Tuesday by coming together as a church for our Shrove Pancake supper. This gathering represents our preparation for the Lenten season, a time when we usually give up something to honor God.

There are members of our church that are asking for youth volunteers to help with the Madri Gras celebration for the children. They need help with activities like the cake walk, and putting fake tattoos on the children, and face painting. This is a fun way to get credit for any service hours you might need for school.

They will need help from 5:45pm until about 6:45pm in Perry Hall.

Please let me know if you will be able to help via email at david@tarrytownumc.org and I will get you in touch with the coordinators of the event. You are welcome to stay for the Shrove Tuesday Feast when you are done. The tickets cost is $7 for the pancake supper.

Have a Great Week!!
