BLAINE MEMORIAL’S 122ND ANNIVERSARY SUNDAY CELEBRATION  ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 25!

It is such a great joy to celebrate Blaine Memorial UMC’s 122nd Anniversary! We’ll honor our church members and friends who have or will have reached by the end of January, the glorious age of 88 and older by reading their names aloud during worship.

What’s a better way than to show our appreciation to our 88+ year old church members than having a ’Blaine’ potluck? We are asking folks to contribute! (If you are single, please feel free to bring just one of the items. If you are 88+ years old, you do not need to bring a dish. This celebration is for you!):

A-H: main dish/dessert

I-S: main dish/salad

T-Z: main dish/rice

We hope that you can join us on Sunday, January 25 to joyfully celebrate our 88+ year old church members and loved ones! 

Get ready — Blaine Memorial UMC’s Sukiyaki Benefit is coming March 7, 2026!

NEW! SAVE THE DATE: BLAINE’S SUKIYAKI BENEFIT FUNDRAISER ON SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 2026!

Blaine Memorial’s Sukiyaki Benefit Fundraiser is back! Mark your calendars and SAVE THE DATE for SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 2026! Our beneficiary is to be determined. More information to come.

Hope to see you on Wednesday.
