Stillwater First UMC friends, we greet you from Tulsa as your Annual Conference delegation! We had dinner together after our first day of meetings on Thursday. After our meal, our incoming associate pastor, Rev. Corey Shirey took a selfie for us. We were grateful to get to know him while breaking bread together. Thanks for your prayers. We’ll finish our work together on Saturday morning and will see you for worship on Sunday morning. 

We will be hosting our quarterly blood drive on June 8 at our Family Life Center in rooms 107-109. Your donation saves lives! To sign-up please visit www.obi.org

The women of UWF are invited to join the UWF for our covered dish Indoor Picnic on Tuesday, June 3 at 6:00pm, in the Social Hall. Pastor Cindy will share her faith journey with us. You will not want to miss this, as she will be leaving our congregation for her new appointment in mid-June. Bring a dish and a friend!

Throughout the Season of Lent, leading up to Easter Sunday, donations were received by Eden Chapel, Highland Park, Lost Creek, Perkins, and Stillwater First United Methodist churches. On Sunday, May 4th, volunteers from our churches and the Salvation Army joined together as the Rise Against Hunger organization facilitated us in packaging over 28,000 meals to ship to an area experiencing food scarcity. The meals you have made possible have officially shipped to Zambia!

Zambia is a landlocked South African country, has a population of over 20 million people, where almost 55% of the population make a living by working in agriculture. The World Food Program notes that due to El Nino weather conditions and sensitivity to rainfall, many regions of Zambia are considered hunger hot spots. The Global Hunger Index, which assesses food insecurity based on indicators that measure undernourishment and undernutrition, categorizes Zambia as having a “serious” level of hunger.

To address some of the food security challenges that children, families, and communities here face, Rise Against Hunger partners with organizations that support educational programs by providing meals to children at schools and early childhood development centers. In some cases, the food children receive at school will be the majority of the food they eat in a day. The meals you packaged will help ensure that these children have access to the consistent nourishment they need to live healthy lives and successfully pursue their education.

       Thank you for your generous giving and service in impacting world hunger!

Get excited! It's time to get ready for Vacation Bible School - July 6th-9th!
The theme this year is: Peace, Love, and Plants: Growing in God's Grace
All the nature, all the fun!
