UMW Update!

​UPDATE on the Rummage Sale!!!  You exceeded all years in the past with donations!  This last rummage sale we brought in over $4,000.00!  For the two rummages sales this year we netted over $7,000.00.  What a blessing this is to you, us and all the mission work this will help!   AGAIN, 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.   And the glory of the rummage sale is the lives we touched.  One gentleman that came to the sale a couple of times has been to church every week since the sale!!!
 
Thank you for all the donations for the John 3:16 Mission.  We have decided next year we will include coats in our collecting!  So any coats in good condition that go into the rummage sale will be added to our basket.  And at the time we collect in October of next year we will have a hanging rack in the Narthex and downstairs for collecting.
 
If you missed our October Unit meeting, you missed a great talk by Heather Graham about the Chainsaw Ministry.  Heather was in the middle of helping to remove a tree in front of the church when she came in (Chainsaw in hand) and gave a wonderful talk!   Thank you, Heather.  What a blessing you are to our church!  The new officers have been voted on and have been sworn in.

The slate of Unit officers is:  President - Ann Cornelius, VP - Judy James, Secretary - Sally Henderson, Treasurer - Kay Arbenz, Membership - Loretta Sellers, Nominations - Barbara Weaver & Sue Coonce.

If you have questions regarding any UMW event, just ask, we will be happy to fill you in! Don’t forget your WORLD THANK OFFERING. World thank represents the many things we are thankful for daily, big and small. November is when 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)  Please bring your offering to your November Circle gathering.  If you are unable to make it to Circle, Judy will be happy to accept your offering anytime!
