October MMVII

UNITED METHODIST MEN

“Men are called to model the servant leadership of Jesus Christ”

The men of Parker UMC met on Sunday, September 2^nd.  Topics of discussion were the church parking lot and preparing the church for Homecoming.

UNITED METHODIST WOMEN

            The ladies of Parker UMC met on Sunday September 16 to discuss business.

The Parent’s Day Out project appears to be at a stand still due to lack of participation. It was decided to change this from a monthly service to a quarterly service with the next Parent’s day out planned for Saturday October 27^th from 10 until 2pm.

            The first Jared’s boxes have been filled and delivered to Cape Fear Valley ’s Children’s Center. Thanks again to all who donated to help with this service project. These boxes will provide some fun and enjoyment to critically ill children confined to the hospital.

            Mark your calendars – the annual Shoe box ministry project is creeping up on us. Boxes will be due in by the end of October. We will be putting out a list of items to fill your boxes with – just remember NO war toys (this includes GI Joes and military vehicles as well as guns) and NO liquids. Watch and listen for further information.

            Also in the works is a raffle fundraiser to benefit the Scholarship Fund. Look for more information on this in the future.

            Continue to pray for all of our deployed soldiers and their families. We continue to send notes and packages to the soldiers and will add any to our list if you have a loved one serving out of country.

            Our next monthly meeting will be held on Sunday October 21, 2007 at 3pm. We promise to have plenty of warm fellowship to share.
