That beautiful, unending snow in the mountains will soon end and be headed to the valleys as the snow pack melts. Areas in the Salt Lake Valley and along the Wasatch Front are going to face flooding as indicated by past history. Christ UMC will be working with the local disaster relief and UMCOR to prepare flood buckets. St. Paul's UMC in Colorado Springs has sent us 25 buckets. We need 25 more. Each bucket full of supplies costs about $100. Please make a monetary donation using this link or drop off items from the list below in the bin by the west door. The Boy Scout Troops and Adult Sunday School class will help assemble the buckets. Let's be prepared now.
