IMPORTANT DATES

UMW Sunday will be July 24th. We will have rehearsal on Thurs, July 21st at 6:30 pm & again on Saturday July 23rd, at 10:30 am. We need all ladies to participate & hope you will say “yes” should Marybeth call upon you!

UMW will start a morning session on Monday, August 22nd @ the FLC at 9:30 am., w/Susan Anderson leading the group. Sandy Payne has volunteered to be secretary. This is an extension of the UMW, trying to meet the needs of all the ladies of the church. We look forward to seeing you at this new session.

We will have our monthly program/meeting on June 27th, at 6:30 pm. We need ALL ladies to attend to assist in planning and putting together UMW Sunday. We will be presenting a “play” on the first meeting of United Methodist Women and informing the congregation how we support missions. Refreshments will be served by Judy Williamson and Barbara Coy.

Special prayers for Julie Walker as she has knee replacement surgery at the Presbyterian Hospital in Plano on Wed, June 22nd.

Chick Flick - Tuesday, June 21st, dinner at Chili’s & onto the Rave for a movie. All ladies are invited to join us!!

UMW will start holding 2 programs/meetings a month, one during the day and one in the evening, in August. In order to make UMW more accessible, we have decided to have two sessions available for women to get involved with UMW. Many women no longer wish to drive at night, or would like to be home earlier, so we are having a group that will meet in the daytime. Susan Anderson has graciously offered to head this up while we are getting things going.

This change is meant to make UMW a group that is accessible to more women. This is in NO WAY meant to separate the group as a whole. Our hope is that we will still view UMW as one group, but a group that has different subsets. We will have many events, such as the Spring Brunch, Spring Retreat, UMW Sunday, Dinner Theater, and Christmas Party for the entire group. Also, women who have the availability are more than welcome to attend both groups.

Please, ladies of the Church, let us know if you are willing to commit and to which UMW session you would like to attend. We are also looking for a secretary for the daytime group, so please take time to consider this and think about whether or not you would be a good fit for this position.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Marybeth Coen, UMW President, at (940) 206-7884, marybethcoen@gmail.com.

Ladies! Mark your calendar & get out your favorite hat.
