UMW this month

A great group!
Smiles all 'round!
Judy Inslee shares from the Rev. Billy Graham's book
Marge Wood speaks to the group
Led by V.P. Trudy Freeman, twenty-five ladies (and Pastor Charles) enjoyed an afternoon of refreshments, a program and the monthly meeting.  Judy Inslee spoke on the theme of prayer and self-denial and Phyllis Daniels brought this month's devotions. 

We were blessed to have a new member join our fellowship today, Billie Mercer.  We are a growing group!

Marge Wood presented the program and spoke about her journey into mission work and about some of the places her ministry has taken her. 

Reports were given by: Fran Jackson (correspondence), Carole Koval (prayer shawls - two given in February for a total of 155), Mary Lyons (finance), Betty Lowell (birthdays), and Bonita Ziegler (scholarships - two $500 awards this year).

Sonia Henry shared a report about the coffee brunch that was held on March 4th.  $246 was raised the group voted to send to Flathead Lake UM Camp to support its "elephant" fund (new water treatment facility).

Claire Kelly and Trudy Freeman provided the green-themed treats (in honor of St. Patrick's Day).
