We Can Do It

In 1993, while in Washington DC, I purchased a t-shirt that really became my mantra for life, "We Can Do It!"  It was a replica of a World War II propaganda poster encouraging women who were part of the ever-growing workforce to support the war. This J. Howard Miller original reminds me of the strength and determination of many of the women in my life.   Many of those women of strength have been women in the church and particularly United Methodist Women.    For 150 years, the United Methodist Women have been “fostering spiritual growth, developing leaders and advocating for justice.”  In other words, these women are serious about mission!  They have dedicated themselves to fighting for the causes of women, children, and orphans throughout the world!  Every UMW event is focused on raising funds for mission!  In October, with our Rummage Sale, $2340 was raised for mission.  And just last week 56 vendors gathered for the annual Christmas Boutique.  In December, the UMW will have their annual Christmas Dinner, Thursday, December 5, at The Meadows.    ALL of the women in the church are invited to be a part of this year's Christmas Dinner.   Our United Methodist Women are hard at work dedicating themselves to the cause of Jesus Christ!  If you are interested in becoming a part of the United Methodist Women, please contact UMW President Janet Klem at 251-5015.   The UMW is a legacy of Christ-centered strength!
