Have we got some news for you!! One of the most exciting missions you're going to hear about these days is happening right here at Greensburg UMC, and it's called Bed Brigade, just in case you haven't heard about it already! It is all about making and delivering beds to kids who don't have beds of their own.
Sadly, there are more kids in that category than we ever imagined.
After our resident Lumber Jacks pre-cut the wood, the bed frames are put together, currently right in our church's gym. We then deliver the finished beds all with complete sets of bedding, to some very happy kids.
We congregate several Saturday mornings per year build and assemble frames and bedding. This year we will build frames on June 7th, August 2nd, and October 25th.
We praise God for the Bed Brigade Team, every individual and all the support provided to this mission. May we all have the grace, strength, and resources to continue to better meet the needs around us. Over 350 individuals and families can enjoy a restful sleep because of your willingness to participate in this mission.
Bed Brigade of Greensburg UMC focuses on providing beds to children of Summit and Stark counties. However, we will serve all who request our help. We continue to seek out and contact families in our service area who are in need of beds. If you know of anyone or would like to volunteer to help in this mission.
