Saturday, May 4th:
2pm: Clean-Up Day @ Ocracoke Child Care Do YOU have some free time Saturday from about 2-5? Ocracoke Child Care Board has way too much to do by themselves to get the Center ready to see children. They need strong backs to move furniture, willing hands to wipe down EVERYTHING, folks to sit and look through all the books and other toys. So much needs to be done. Even if you can just come for an hour, they’d be so grateful!

Services @ both churches: Ocracoke United Methodist (Sunday School 10am; service at 11am) and Ocracoke Assembly of God (Sunday School 10am, services at 11am and 6pm; also Wednesday night service at 7pm).
