Farmer's Market at First UMC Every Saturday

Unfortunately, the rain during May and June has pushed back much of our summer crops--but soon you'll have the opportunity to come to the church and buy and sell the produce of your own gardens and farms.

Beginning July 12, we'll have a farmer's market every Saturday morning through the growing season. Bring your own tables to set up your squash, corn, tomatoes, onions, eggs, and other things you've been growing. Please no garage sale items (that'll come later)

If you'd like to contribute a portion of your sales for the mission work of this congregation, we welcome you to do that!

Also--on the same day as the first farmer's market, the Boy Scouts will be doing some disaster drills behind the church. You're welcome to come by and help them by being a victim, or learning some of the tips to "be prepared" for floods, toronados, and other disasters. Come see us on the morning of the 12th!

Youth Lake Day this Saturday

The youth will be on the lake this Saturday the 26th for skiing, tubing, and fun. We'll meet at 9am at the church so we can beat the heat of the day (not bad if you're in the water, but what about everyone else in the boat?) .
We'll bring sandwhich stuff for lunch, so if you're interested in going, make sure Kaylee or Nathan know so they can tell you what to bring.
Lake Okmulgee is to the West of Okmulgee about 7 or 8 miles on Hwy 56. You can get to Debbie's by passing the spillway, then looking for a sign that says "Dripping Springs: 5 miles." After that sign, you'll see a road on the left called "Rocky Hill Rd." Go down that road for about a mile when you'll see some railroad ties in front of a trailer park. Look for Debbie's car. Not much parking available, so try try try to be there at 9am at the church so we can carpool.
