United Methodist Women
Fairfield Glade United Methodist Church
The purpose of the UMW states that we, as a community of women, are to
expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the
church.  Global ministries mean the world around us and, as an active ministry,
we have to serve where we can.  Fairfield Glade United Methodist Women serve
in the nursing homes near us by playing bingo and taking a small birthday
present to Wyndridge residents for the Birthday Party once a month.  We need
volunteers with this mission.  First of all, we would like to have more volunteers to
go to Wyndridge to play bingo on the third Friday of every month.  We play
Bingo, serve refreshments and visit with the residents.  Their smiles of
appreciation make it all worthwhile.

Another way to help would be donations for birthday gifts.  Suggestions are:

Socks of light colors                             Footies of various light colors
Scarves of many colors                       Men's socks (not black)               
Gloves (one size fits all)                      Shampoos.... both men and women
Kleenex                                                   Men's pocket T-shirts (not black)
Bath gels, both men and women       Lotions, both men and women
Men's shirts (White Large, XL)            Pull-on slipper socks (light colors)
Deodorant (Old Spice/Secret)             Baby Wipes

Be careful of smells, please...no strong odors...strong perfume smells are not
appropriate.  Size of products should be in the medium range (not motel
samples).  No jewelry please.  Odds and ends of birthday gift wrap will be
appreciated.

Money donations are always appropriate to defray costs of snacks, etc.

There will be a box for your donations in the Sunday School hall marked for
UMW.  

You may contact Charlene Richardson (456-0148) or Marlene Badgerow
(484-0001).


Two events help to fund missions through United Methodist Women.  Each
Spring is the annual rummage and bake sale.  Each October is the annual Craft
Sale.  To see some of the activities of this year's sale click here .  

All women are invited to participate in UMW. We would love to see you!
March 10, 2010:  9 A.M. - ANNUAL LENTEN BREAKFAST

Chairperson Lynn Sewell has chosen the theme "Colors" for this annual
breakfast.  All women of the church are invited to partake in this wonderful
traditionally-served Lenten breakfast.  Please join us not only for breakfast, but
for devotions as well as the program, given by our own Connie Hall.

The breakfast is our gift to each of you, but we do need to prepare enough
food and set a place for you, so please sign up at the church office window
(sign-up sheet will be available sometime after our February meeting).


In April there will not be a UMW Unit meeting, as we will all be hard at work for
our upcoming rummage sale.  See you there!!!
Dates have been set for the church-wide Rummage Sale, sponsored by the
UMW.  The sale will be held
April 16 and 17, 2010, with work going on from
April 12 through the week.  NOW, we are looking for two persons to lead this
endeavor.  Most Committee Chairs continue from year to year, and several new
ones have already volunteered.  We just need Co-Chair Persons to guide the
venture.  If you and a friend like a challenge, a fun (but hard) work week, a great
way to get to know your church family, this is the job for you.  Please contact
Marlene Badgerow (484-0001) and she will sign you up!
