FROM THE PRESIDENT
United Methodist Women’s News…The Rappahannock District United Methodist Women are celebrating their work in 2010. Our mission giving for the year was $66,506, which exceeded our $64,500.00 pledge. Through dedication and hard work in raising this money, many women, children and youth will have a better life and perhaps injustices eradicated. The women of this district remain faithful and continue to live out their purpose by putting faith, hope and love into action. In January approximately 90 local unit officers and district mission team members met to discuss plans for this year. Skits, new procedures for treasurers, and redistricting information were shared with unit officers. Women from around the district will come together for a Lenten Prayer Breakfast on March 12th at 8:30 a.m., at Lower UMC. Breakfast will be catered, so all the women can enjoy the food, fellowship, and an inspirational message. Reservations must be made by March 1st, 2011. Make checks payable to Rappahannock District UMW and mail to Robin Steck, Treasurer, 630 Watson Landing Rd., Saluda VA, 23149.
United Methodist Women of Andrew Chapel UMC in Montross each year sponsors a class at Cople Elementary School. Once a month, volunteers go to a first grade class and listen to the students read one-on-one. At the December visit, members presented each student in the class with a stocking cap knitted by the Busy Bees of Andrew Chapel. Pictured: UMW members Vinny Parry, Peggy Jones, Bettie Lou McGinness, Evalyn Sanford, and teacher, Mrs. Feamster, and the children wearing their new hats!
