As proof that we at La Plata United Methodist can multi-task, on Oct 27thbetween 2 -4pm, we will be both blessing animals and (if the contributions reach $1000.00) watching our Pastor, Susan Boehl, kiss a puckered up cow. You need only do two things: first, make a contribution to our fund to support the local group “Help for Animals”; second, bring your well-behaved pet of any size, shape, or species to the church on Oct 27th. We will be welcoming the community and their animal companions to receive a blessing from Pastor Susan. But, there will be much more. Our partners from the Charles County Humane Society will be with us and they will be bringing along a number of animals for you to interact with as well as information on adopting from the society. Also, with us, will be PETCO with coupons and samples of the products and services they offer for pets. Help for Animals will also be on hand to educate us on the programs they support to help those who need assistance with caring for their pets. Local Vets and Groomers will also be present. And as a special treat, the Charles County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit will be there from 2-4pm with a demonstration starting at 3pm.
The Prayer Shawl Ministry is off to a great start. On Tuesday, March 5, we held our second meeting. We gathered together in the church parlor for a little knitting/crocheting and fellowship. We would love to have you join us! We will meet on the first Tuesday of each month at 5:30. We are working on a special project, We are also working on prayers shawls that can be shared with friends and family. We have some completed shawls, so if you have a friend or family member who would benefit from a prayer shawl, please give Karen a call in the office and she can arrange to make sure you get one.

They will be available after the Café Service and before and after the 11:00 Service. They are $30 each and at this time we can only accept cash or check (no credit cards). If you are not yet attending services, you can contact the church office to make other arrangements. Thanks for supporting our church!
