please make note of this date.
Also the United Methodist
Women would like to thank those that purchased a Chrismon for our tree in honor and memory of a loved one. We had about one
dozen orders and you can look forward to seeing them on the tree during the Lent Season. We will continue to use the Chrismons
that we have. Thank You from the UMW.
On July 31, 2012 the UMW served lunch at Our Daily
Bread at Oconee Street Methodist Church. Thank you to Joyce Brodnax our Coordinator and those volunteers that helped
her.
Also the UMW will serve a snack supper to the Youth on Sunday night September 30,
2012. The United Methodist Women will also have their annual Yard Sale on November 3rd. Save your things for this, if you
need something picked up call the church office with information and we will collect.
A big thank you to everyone that brought food for the Athens Elberton Day of Mission. Hand in Hand, Shoulder to Shoulder
we did our Work Day Food Drive well. A special thank you to those United Methodist Women that stepped up to the plate and
helped make the food drive a success. The truck came from the Food Bank on Saturday AM August 4th. Eight people were in the
Banquet Hall to greet them and help load the food. We also had nine people go on the church bus to the Worship Service at
the Classic Center in Athens on Sunday night August 5, 2012, for a very motivating time of worship. It is great to have the
bus running and in good condition now and thanks to Terrie Seagraves for driving us. Nothing is impossible with God and when
everyone does their part we can do great things here @ Winterville UMC.
Thank You,
Delores Wages
President United Methodist Women
