FFGUMC Crafters for Missions
Fairfield Glade United Methodist Church
The first meeting of the Crafters was held on January 26, 2010. The standing committees were decided upon, as well as the
disbursement of the proceeds from the 2009 crafters sales.
The Crafters allocated $13,000.00 for various missions including Amerasian Children’s Fund, Stepping Out Fund, FGUMC
Scholarship Fund, Halo Fund, Helping Hands, Hilltoppers, School Depot, Bread of Life, SMILE, United Methodist Women, Wags &
Whiskers, Plateau Pregnancy and Schools (Pineview, Crab Orchard, Pleasant Hill). Crafters, using hands and hearts, help make
the world a loving place.
We would love to have some new ladies in our group. Remember, anyone who likes to do crafts, whether she attends this church
or not, is most welcome. Come Join us for a wonderful time of fellowship and service. We meet every Tuesday in Fellowship Hall
making craft items for our annual sale in October each year. You do not have to be a member of the church to attend. Friends
and neighbors are most welcome.
In 2006, the crafters made about $1,000 from the spring craft sale at the Village Green Mall in Fairfield Glade. It was decided to
donate $200 to the church youth group to be added to the proceeds from their spaghetti dinner. These proceeds were raised to
benefit the Kynette United Methodist Church in Sparta which was heavily damaged by arson in July 2005. In 2006 we donated
about $11,403, made from our recent sale to various mission projects mostly in Cumberland County.
We meet every Tuesday in Fellowship Hall making craft items for our annual sale in October each year.
