Children’s Home
During the month of August, we are highlighting the Kentucky United Methodist Children’s Homes. This year, the Children’s Homes are celebrating 150 years of caring for vulnerable children! To help celebrate this milestone, Florence UMC is encouraging families who are able to make a special gift this month designated to “the Children’s Home” in-person or through online giving. On this month’s fifth Sunday, Julie Hager Love, the president of the Children’s Homes will share a message with us.
Clothing Event – Donations and Servants Need
Florence UMC will collect gently-used clothes and shoes for elementary-aged students to shop at our second-annual Free Clothing Event on August 6-7. There are two ways in which help is needed:
- Gather Donations – gather items to donate (kids sizes 4T-14/16) or ask your friends and neighbors to donate clothing and shoes for this event and drop it off to us…or offer to pick them up from them! Donations will be accepted at church on August 3, 4 and 5th from 10 am-2 pm and also August 4th from 5-7 pm.
- Serve – many hands make light work. Help accept and sort donations and/or serve during the shopping event where we will welcome shoppers as they select clothes and shoes to help them start off the school year! SIGN UP TO SERVE HERE
