THE BEAR MINISTRY

The church pews have Bears and Bear Wanna-Be's sitting in them. People of the church brought these stuffed Bears and Bear Wanna-Be's (those are cats, dogs, rabbits, etc.) to the Bear Ranger, who ties tags on the toy animals, and places them around the Sanctuary. The tag says the Bear has been among the congregation of First United Methodist Church of Onalaska, Onalaska , TX . It has heard the Word read, prayers prayed, songs of praise sung and the sermon preached. It has been given love and loved others. Now it comes to you with the blessings of worship and God's love. People take and send Bears and Bear Wanna-be's to family, friends and strangers who need to know the Church is praying for them and that God loves them.
