Intentional Giving
CYWA thanks you for your generosity!
Your January contributions to CYWA’s food cupboard weighed
78 pounds. In 2025, TUMC donated 1,054 pounds!
I wonder what our tally will be in 2026.
(Please place items in the brown wicker basket near the bulletin board.)
Caln Elementary
"Do not forget to do good and to share witn others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." Numbers 13:16
Our February donation will be a collection of new pants for boys and girls in children’s sizes 5 – 14. Boys’ sweatpants are particularly needed.
If you are able to donate in February, the collection bin will be in its usual location at the top of the stairs from the main parking lot to receive your donations. It will be available during office hours, as well as on Sunday.
Pants will be due Sunday, February 22.
Thank you for your continued support and prayers for this ministry.

We thank you for your faithfulness.
Feb 26 – April 2, 2026
By looking through the eyes of the crowd, and not just the main characters, we may discover an invitation into something new, unexpected, and unlikely. Walk through this season with eyes wide open, ready to see where God is moving, even in the margins. Since the cross is not the end of the story, embrace every unlikely moment along the way.

Easter Eggstravaganza
Saturday March 21st from
1:00–2:30 pm in the
Worship Center
Looking out the window at the seemingly endless snow may lead us to believe that spring will never come, but there is a sure sign of spring at Thorndale UMC: the Easter Eggstravaganza on March 21 from 1:00-2:30 PM in the Worship Center.
There are many ways to help. We are partnering with the preschool so most of their staff will be helping with the crafts and games; but we will need people to sit on chairs and hand out stuffed eggs; we need candy and small treats for inside the eggs, and people to stuff the eggs prior to the big day. By the way, we have lots of stickers and eggs so don’t worry about providing them.
This is a fun way to meet the preschool staff and others from the church that you may not know, as well as the amazing kids and their families. One of the parents commented after last year’s event that they preferred it to a regular Easter egg hunt because of the connections that they made with the preschool staff and church members. This is our opportunity to show Jesus to those who come.
Please contact Pat Moore at patriciajrn@verizon.net, text or call 484-340-0676, or meet me at worship.
