Thankfulness Calendar - The Thankfulness Calendar was created to give you and your family a way to reflect on the blessings that you’ve been given while raising awareness of those who are in need and what Middleton Outreach Ministry does to address those needs. For each day between May 19 and June 12, a fact is given and your family is asked to donate a coin or coins for your family's circumstances that relate to that fact. Collect the coins in a small box and bring them as an offering to our joint worship service on June 12th. Click here to get a printable PDF version of the Thankfulness Calendar. Contact Ellen at 826-3404 with any questions. Collection boxes are available for free at the MOM office.
