Service Sunday at UMCMV

On Sunday, April 27th, the United Methodist Church of Mount Vernon will dedicate the morning to a special Service Sunday. Volunteers will go into the Mount Vernon and Lisbon communities to lend a helping hand to agencies and individuals who have requested assistance with tasks such as yard work, small repairs, community clean-up, etc. Volunteers will also be able to visit folks in homes or nursing homes. Due to this opportunity to be active in the communities that morning, there will be no worship services at the United Methodist Church on Sunday, April 27th.

Friends of the Pal Food foraging event

Join the Friends of the Palisades Kepler State Park for a food foraging event Sunday, April 27, from 1-3 p.m. The group will meet at Cedar Cliff Trail head. The event will be lead by Jeannie Muellerleile. Whether you’re a novice forager who once collected blackberries at the age of 10, or an amateur in need of a refresh, this event is for you. Muellerleile will help identify edible plants in the park and even answer a few questions about how to prepare them. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes. As Always, this is a family friendly event.
