Help Build Hope is Tomorrow

Join us tomorrow at Christ UMC for an opportunity to work with our Christian siblings to make a real difference in a family’s life.

During this one morning, we will transform piles of lumber and buckets of nails into walls for an entire house for families in need of affordable housing. Learn more at https://cedarmillchristumc.org/serve/help-build-hope

All are welcome—there is something for everyone to do, from ages 5 to 105! Registration is open at https://crossroadsmissions.breezechms.com/form/cumc24

Contact Wendy F with any questions.

Each pint of blood we collect can help save up to three lives and will touch the lives of so many more. What a great way to pay it forward and make an impact on people in our community and across the country.
