In March, our Nobia Frey Circle made 64 Easter Baskets as their Mission project and delivered them to MUST Ministries for distribution to the children they serve.
In March, at our Fellowship meeting, we hosted Brenda Rhodes of Simple Needs Georgia who presented a wonderful program about how SNGA is assisting women experiencing and emerging from homelessness! We filled 20 duffle bags with toiletries that they keep with them in the shelter.
In February our Ruby Cooper Circle celebrated Valentine’s Day with a lovely spread of goodies at one of their members’ homes. 
  This note came to us from Amanda’s Mom, Snookie Brown: Dear Pat and UMW Ladies, Thanks so much for reaching out to Amanda, Leslie and Cappy, to Blue Skies, and ultimately to the families served by this wonderful organization! Your love for Christ showed through all you did! You gave financial support, cut out pillowcase fabric, made notes for precious children and for some, the work goes on as you sew that fabric into pillowcases. I am so proud to be a part of this group through my wonderful Circle. I know that you will be hearing from the folks at Blue Skies but wanted you to receive my thanks as well! In His love, Snookie I would also like to thank all of you who took the time Saturday to participate in the District Mission Study, led by our own Sara Worden. Marietta First had the largest group of women attend and we all came away enriched by the lessons in the program. We hope you will consider joining us next time.
 I am inspired by all the work you do as United Methodist Women and humbled to be a part of this magnificent organization.
Fondly, Pat Snider
Thanks to all of you who supported the Red Bird Mission Craft Show and Cafe. UMW was very pleased with the results of their First Craft Fair for Red Bird Mission. Total proceeds from craft sales were $7,753.35. We appreciate everyone who stopped by to have lunch with us, and to those who purchased crafts that were made by people living in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky. All proceeds will be used to minister to the poor for food, housing, medical assistance, job assistance and educational needs. We are thankful for having Craig Dial with us who is our United Methodist Missionary from RED BIRD MISSION. Did you Know?
