The UMW (United Methodist Women) at Keller UMC will host the annual Sharing the Joy event this weekend, November 13-14, 2021.   This is an alternative gift market, to support local and international non-profit and fair-trade organizations. It will be in the Family Life Center (FLC). Keller UMC has asked our Units for volunteers to help the vendors unload cars and bring in their goods on Saturday morning, 8–10 am.  And then do the reverse on Sunday afternoon, 1:30 – 3 pm.  Service hours will be awarded.  Please observe normal YPT practices.

Therefore, please make plans to join us then to celebrate those who have advanced in rank and/or earned merit badges and awards in the past quarter.
