Parkwood United Methodist Women – July News
The Parkwood UMW held their monthly meeting on June 27. The program was a special mission project led by Jan Schwarze. Jan instructed us on how us to make *Prayer Bead Bracelets. These creative bracelets will be presented to those in need of spiritual enlightenment; guest speakers at our meetings and others as suggested. Those interested in purchasing bracelets for their self or as a gift can contact a member of UMW for details. The cost is $10.00 and the proceeds will go towards other future mission projects.
Among the discussion items were–Sunday July 28th at 3:00pm the ladies will host a baby shower for the expected new addition to the Whitman family. Pastor Nathan & Laura are expecting another baby boy and we would like share in the joy. All ladies are invited to participate.
July is our designated ‘vacation’ month so we will not hold a meeting. Mark your calendar now and plan to join us for dinner-out on Thursday evening August 22nd. Look for more information about this meeting and restaurant location in the next newsletter.
Our nominations team (chair: Natalie Robson) is now taking suggestions / recommendations for officers in 2014. Also, if you currently hold a position and would like to continue in that role, please let the team know as soon as possible.
As always all are welcome to join us for our meetings held the 4th Thursday of each month at 7:00pm.
