United Methodist Women

      The Zion UMW finished up our year today, December 10, preparing  and delivering goodie baskets for our Shut-Ins and enjoying each other's company at our potluck brunch.  Carolyn Messer (coordinator), Vivien Richardson, Lisa Hockman, Amy Deavers, Malvrey Looney and Headley Barnsley set up and decorated the tables on Friday afternoon which made Saturday morning quite pleasant.  Before breakfast, Joyce Fairbanks presented a meaningful explanation of Christmastime cookie cutters and the most important being the candle--representing our shining lights for Christianity in the world.  Joyce blessed our food.  Yummy brunch was served after which we handled our monthly UMW business.  Libby Hall (Quilters Coordinator) shared information about the many quilts and the new project for 2012.  UMW Reading Program 2011 Certificates were presented to Leota Pendleton, Jeanne Hagerman and Lisa Hockman for completing Plan I.  Then, with little fanfare, we packed the baskets expeditiously and were finished by 12 noon.  
 At our Saturday Potluck Brunch on January 21, 2012, at 10 am at Rev. Barb's, we will bring our wonderfully creative minds together to arrange  service-oriented programs for our new year 2012.  Please join us to plan our 3rd Thursday 6:30 pm meetings.
 
Always, Headley Barnsley, President
