The Mission Committee has partnered with LifeSource/Lake County to hold a blood drive here at Millburn Church on Sunday, May 17. The drive will run from 8:00 am–1:00 pm; donating typically takes less than an hour of
your time, so please try to fit it into your schedule.  Every pint of blood donated stays in Lake County and will help three people in need of blood! All healthy individuals over the age of 16 and weighing more than 110 pounds can give.  Help the Mission Committee meet our goal of 30 units of blood donated, and show the community how Millburn UCC lives out our faith!  Sign-up sheets and information are in Lauren Hall; you can call Gary Garland at 773-983-5761 with any questions.
