Teddy Bear Love

Spread Far and Wide

Thank you to all who brought teddy bears to share,

and thank you to all who prayed over them these past weeks. 115 bears were shared with the Deer Creek Fire Department, the Bridge Creek Fire Department, a developing rural Preschool Program, the Citizens Caring for Children (who assist and support DHS Foster Parents) and Skyline’s McKee Center. Our biggest teddy bear friend has gone to live at the Manos Juntas Free Medical Clinic to receive love and hugs from many, many children! Our First Church children made tags to place around each bear’s neck that says, “This bear carries the prayers, love and support of the members and children of First United Methodist Church, Edmond, Oklahoma. This bear has been held, loved and soaked with prayer so that when you hold this bear, you may believe that love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. 1 Corinthians 13.7-8.”

VBS is Coming!

July 21-25

5:00 - 7:30 pm

VBS Ice Cream Kick-Off Party

How about some cold, delicious ice cream on a Sunday night? Join us for our VBS Kick-Off Party on Sunday, July 20 from 6:30 – 8 pm (come and go as you please). If you’ve already registered your child, this is a chance to get that medical form filled out and turned in before Monday night. If you haven’t registered, then you can take care of both forms at once AND enjoy the ice cream, too.

Come eat some ice cream (complete with sprinkles and syrup), taste the delicious brownies and cookies from the United Methodist Women, see the rainforest decorations and meet other parents and kids!

Kids! Help Make Your Family
Eco-Aware and Responsible

Let's turn our paper and recycling
into CASH!

Talk to your family about recycling paper and help make sure that you have a place to collect it that everyone in the family knows about. Then help make sure your family brings it's paper to the church to the Recycling Bin! Be your family's Paper Recycling Monitor!

Doing this keeps all of this paper out of Landfills which is good for the Environment. It also saves a lot of trees from needing to be cut down!

You can bring all kinds of paper such as, newspapers, junk mail, copy paper, computer printer paper, magazines, ads, catalogs, etc. can be recycled. All paper goods are welcome, but please exclude cardboard and paper that was wrapping foods.

Bring paper from home, neighborhood (let your neighbors know to either bring their paper to our bins or collect it and bring it yourself), office, co-workers, dorm room, entire dorm, EVERYWHERE! Thanks again to all of you for making this a successful program!

We do ask that you take appropriate caution with paper containing any sensitive or personal information. If you do bring shredded paper, please have it in a plastic bag.

We have two recycling bins and they are located in the parking lot west of the main church building. Remember that by recycling paper we help the church and help the environment. Thanks for your help!
