RSVP not needed but helpful to pastor@kyleumc.org. 

Save the Date! Free Garage Sale

The Free Garage Sale will be held on Saturday, May 4th this year. This is a wonderful event that helps you clear out unwanted items and provide them to those in need in the community at no cost to them.

Due to space limitations, we will be collecting items only on Friday May 3rd from 7am-8pm. Since we will only have one day to get things together, we are asking that you pre-sort your items before you bring them into the following categories:

• Men's clothes and shoes
• Women's clothes, shoes and accessories
• Children's clothes and shoes
• Toys, books and games
• Housewares
• Home Decor
• Electronics

Items need to be clean and in good working condition (no stains, rips, not broken etc) We are also in need of Clothing Racks if anyone has one we can borrow. We will have a sign up genius for help sorting items on May 3rd and helping with the Garage Sale on May 4th.

April Blessings Box Drive - April Showers

This month, donate hygiene products like soaps, shampoos, deodorants etc. As always, kid friendly items like mac and cheese cups, raviolis, spaghettios, peanut butter and jelly, and diapers are in high need.

“Inspire" 

We are starting a new support group for people who are dealing with loss and the pain that accompanies it. Sometimes life overwhelms us with many kinds of losses (death, health, job, relationships) and it seems we are alone but we are NOT alone! We can find our joy again through the compassion of Christ, relationships with fellow strugglers, and praying for each other. 

Join Kathie Best and others on Wednesday mornings from 10:30 am to noon. We will use a variety of resources to learn, support and encourage each other including Scripture, a book by a fellow struggler who is a pastor, books by the late Brennan Manning, and of course each other!

If you have questions contact Pastor Kallie (pastor@kyleumc.org) or call Kathie Best.

Everyone invited! Please plan to join a small group for a

1-hr social time on Tuesday, April 30 at 9:30am in Pastor Kallie's office in the FLC. Bring your own choice of beverage to sit and chat.
