Blenman Elementary School has asked Catalina United Methodist Church if we would provide some Christmas dinners for families over the school break. The grocery store gift cards will be $50.00 per family. If you would like to help, make a contribution to the Church and indicate it is for Blenman School. The families are always appreciative of the extra food support over the holidays.

Why invite someone to church?
An invitation to church isn’t just about Sunday morning—
It’s about sharing peace, hope, and belonging.
Your ask could change someone’s week
|
|
Just lean over and say, “Come with me this Sunday.”
