Noisy Offering

The Noisy Offering is collected on the third Sunday of each month.  The loose change from the other Sundays of the month are added to this and these offerings are donated to a different cause (charity) for each quarter.  The Noisy offering for this quarter will go to:

Hebron Rebuilding Together

United Women in Faith

Our “Christmas Feast” was held on Tuesday, December 13th with 12 members and 20 guests enjoying all the delicious food!  We thank everyone that helped with the food, and helped us.  The Hostesses
were Holly, Melinda and Ruth.  Thank you to Lois Thurner for music.
 
The next work day will be January 10th, when we will be taking down the Christmas decorations.
 
We wish everyone a “Happy New Year!”

The UMW of Faith has completed another successful year.  We thank you for supporting our projects.  We wanted to let you know how we spent the money you helped us collect.
 
Locally, we donated money to rebuilding the Scout Cabin, Call-A-Ride, bought gifts for the Angel Tree candidates, donated items for funeral dinners and served food, bought fruit for the folks who were working with Rebuilding Hebron, and bought paper supplies for the kitchen.  
 
In the area, we sent donations to Phil’s Friends (and decorated boxes for them to send to cancer patients),  The Caring Place, Housing Opportunities, and Bashor Home for Children. 
 
The UMW supports the Lucille Raines Home for Women in Indianapolis.  The Lucille Raines Residence is a facility owned and operated by the United Methodist Women of Indiana. Many of those living at LRR, are actively engaged in rebuilding their lives after substance abuse. They all share in learning to function independently in day-to-day life . Many are finding Christ to be the source of successful recovery.
 
Two Mission Awards were also presented to Jim Spurr and LeAnn Hetrick.  
 
Finally, we were able to invite members of the congregation who have gone above and beyond in aiding the UMW with all our projects this year to a Christmas luncheon to thank them for all their efforts.
 
Without the support of the congregation, the UMW wouldn’t be able to do all does to support others in our church, in our town, and in our community.
 
Thank You
