Tapes go to CDs!
Our tape ministry has upgraded to the 21st century and we are now able to
offer CDs to anyone wishing to have copies of our Sunday worship services.
We have a crew of folks who will hand deliver CDs to your home if you miss
church due to hospitalization or illness. Whether you are at home for only a
short time of recovery or if you are no longer able to attend worship, we
would love to offer this service to you. If you are out of town for a short time
and would like us to hold copies for you, we are able to do that as well. Or if
you go away for an extended time and would like to receive CDs at your
temporary location, we would be glad to forward them to you. Please contact
the church office (484-3473) if there is any way we can help you stay
connected with Fairfield Glade UMC. If you know of someone (Including
non-members) who might benefit from this outreach, please let us know at
the church office.

Volunteers Needed
Become a tutor! If you can read, you can teach someone else to read. Share the gift of
reading with someone else. Adults often face challenges in reading, math, and English as
a second language. You can help make a difference. Volunteers are specifically trained to
use the best known adult education reading programs in the world. Sessions are about
one and one-half hours, twice a week. They may be scheduled at a time and place of
mutual convenience for the student and tutor. Cumberland Adult Reading Council is a
non-profit 501(c)3 agency and an affiliate of ProLiteracy America. Contact Terri Bond,
Director (931)303-5809.
Bread of Life Needs Food Items
The Bread of Life is in desperate need of food items. They are in need of dry goods in the
food pantry: macaroni and cheese, noodles, cereal, peanut butter, dried beans, dried fruit,
any kind of dry goods. Supplies have been exhausted due to an increase in the number of
people being fed at the Mission. Items can be dropped at the church or at the Mission and
monetary donations are always welcome. Thank you.

Barnabas Ministry
We want to stay connected to you! If you are unable to attend worship services
because of illness or anything that keeps you from sharing in the life of our
church, we want you to know that you are missed, and that you are still a part of
our congregation. For that reason, we want to stay connected to you, and that is
the purpose of our Ministry. When you can’t come to church, we can go to you.
There are Barnabas Ministers, volunteers from our congregation, who are ready
to serve you .
Once you let us know you want to be a recipient of this ministry, a Barnabas
Minister is assigned to you. This person offers to serve you Holy Communion
once a month, if you so desire, and will stay in contact with you by pre-arranged
home visits, cards, and phone messages. Barnabas ministers try to make some
kind of contact with you once a week, but all of these contacts will ultimately be at
your discretion. We want you to feel comfortable as a recipient of this ministry,
and you do not have to be a member of any church. This is a great opportunity to
make a new friend and to stay connected to people who care about you. Just call
the church and let us know that you are interested in having a Barnabas Minister.

UMW Social Action Committee
One of the areas that UMW members learn about and are concerned
with is in social action for the earth and her environment. One UMW
goal is to try to become more “green” in our actions in our homes.
One way is to read more green articles in publications about our
environment on ways to be help us to stay healthy. Magazines can
be passed to friends, neighbors, nursing homes, and even to schools
for kids’ projects. Newspapers can be recycled at the County
Recycling Center on Peavine Road on your way to town. Drop off
plastics, aluminum cans (minus the tab) and cardboard. The tabs on
cans can be donated to Big Boys BBQ for the Shriner’s Hospital
collection jar. Try reducing your electric bill by following VEC’s
recommendations: unplug the TV when you are not watching it; use
those funny-looking fluorescent bulbs in your light fixtures; unplug
other small appliances like the toaster, microwave and computers
when not in use.
We know this may be a hassle to start with, but any savings is worth
the time. So, pay attention to the “green” messages everywhere they
appear — help the environment stay beautiful.

Peavine Care Center

from Second Harvest, so they are asking the churches in FFG to donate these items: Adult diapers Baby diapers, any size; Paper towels Boxes of tissues; Toilet
paper. There is a box in the hallway near the Library for diaper and paper donations or any food items that you would like to donate.
They are also in need of an operating refrigerator. If you have one to donate, please contact ldstoffel261@aol.com.

Attention Cookie Eaters!
Sunday Fellowship time between Sunday worship services is needing a new
volunteer leader for the coming year. Cookies and servers are needed for each
and every Sunday, after each service, so please sign up in Fellowship Hall on the
large calendar board. Instructions for each service are available on the board;
take one for the service you attend as a guide. This does not mean that the new
chairperson must be on hand for all services—he or she or co-chairs will
coordinate the team effort. Outgoing chairperson, Charlene Richardson (456-
0148) is willing to train a new chairperson or new co-chairs for this popular
ministry. Thank you for giving this ministry your consideration.
