UMW Update!

By the time you are reading this month’s Cross Beams we have completed another Rummage Sale.  It is always a surprise to see all the wonderful things we receive to sell.  We are so blessed to have a congregation that is so giving.  It is a joy to see people shopping and the excitement on their faces.  We want to thank all the volunteers that came and helped.  No matter how many minutes or hours you volunteered, it was a big help to the United Methodist Women.
 
Last month the school supplies went to Allen Bowden and we were able to give them a check for $507.00.  We also have another $110.00 for them.
How wonderful is that????
 
Every year we collect socks, gloves and stocking hats for the John 3:16 Mission.  There will be a basket in the Narthex starting Sunday, October 6th.  We will collect through the month of October.     
 
Our new slate of officers will be voted on and installed at the Unit meeting on October 10th.  The Unit meeting will be held in the Parlor at 11:00, after the Esther Circle.  We will have a speaker and a light lunch. 
 
CIRCLES UPDATE:
The Joy Circle meets the 1st Thursday of the month at 6:00 pm in the Parlor.  The United Methodist Men meet in the Fellowship Hall at the same time as the Joy Circle. 
 
The Esther Circle meets on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 9:30 am in the Parlor. 
 
Circles are a great way to meet women in our church, don’t miss out on Women’s fellowship, Bible lessons and good food. 
 
See you on October 4th at 6:00 for the Joy Circle and October 10th at 9:30 for the Esther Circle.  Followed by our Unit meeting.  Unit meeting includes members of both circles.  It is a great time to visit.

WORLD THANK OFFERING represents the many things we are thankful for daily, big and small. November is the month that UMW women give the offering we have been accumulating throughout the year. This offering goes to mission in response to the scripture “GIVE THANKS.” (Jerimiah  33:11)
