The Busy Bee Ladies of the Batesville community have been busy this winter.  A total of  

40 blankets were made for distribution to the Ronald McDonald house, children’s hospital, and nursing homes. One will be donated to Habitat for Humanity for a benefit auction.

The scraps of the fabric were used to make 54 dog toys. These go to shelters and local police canines.  

The ladies have finished up for this winter, but you can always volunteer to join them next winter. You do not need to be a member of the Batesville United Methodist Church. The only qualification needed is to be someone who enjoys a good time.

Youth Sunday at Barnesville First Christian Church Youth Sunday originally planned for April 6 has been postponed until Sunday, May 4. 

Salesville teams up with Antrim congregation. Members of the Salesville United Methodist Church travel to Antrim Sunday, April 6 where the two congregations will meet for breakfast at 10:30 followed by the singing group Bridjez.
