Pentecost and Church Picnic May 19

UMC logo with flamesPentecost is May 19, 2013! Wear red to church to celebrate the Holy Spirit and the birthday of Christianity. We’ve got some exciting plans for the day…

Our 8:30am traditional service will be at Mosinee UMC. Pierson Hamann will be recognized for earning his Scout religion pin.

9:30am Sunday School and the 10:30am praise service will be at the Big Eau Pleine west unit picnic shelter. Dress for the weather; this is an enclosed shelter with a big fireplace. In case of truly terrible weather, watch FaceBook or wait for a Call-Em-All phone message about changes in plan.

Our end-of-year Sunday School picnic will be at noon at the park. Hot dogs and drinks provided; bring a side dish or dessert to share.

Like to camp? Spend the weekend at the park with Mosinee UMC friends. Pastor Park and family will be staying at site 38 in the west unit campground Friday-Sunday.
