 The Wesley Village Campus  pastor has asked if we could help make Bingo a little more exciting as the residents love to play this. They would like to collect small items to be used as Bingo prizes, such as embroidered handkerchiefs, pot holders, wooden ornaments, knick-knacks, etc. There are three buildings at Wesley Village: Resident apartments, Personal Care and their Nursing facility. If you have small items that you would like to give, please bring them and we'll put them in a box in the back of the church and Bonny & Bud will deliver them to the Campus. If Bradley MUMC would like to be involved I (Marla) can pick them up each week when I drop off the bulletins.
Thank you.

Bread Basket of Mid Valley
There is an ongoing need for food at the Food Bank in Jessup, which we support.
