In addition to preparing the hives, we have also been teaching the students at elementary schools in the area about bees and beekeeping and how important bees are to the environment and making food for us to eat. Word is getting out about our passion for God’s bees and what they do for God’s Creation. This is already starting to be an exciting year for the beekeeping ministry!!

The Mission emphasis for June is the UMM scholarship fund. This fund has for years helped provide financial aid to numerous FUMC students attending college or post-high school technical schools. The award is entitled the “William H. & LaDean Stobaugh Scholarship Award” in memory of a FUMC couple that advocated for higher education. You can help our students defray the high cost of education by making a donation into the mission box in the foyer, placing change in the offering plate, or noting “Scholarship Fund” on a check.
