United Methodist Women
are actively preparing for the church’s 2016 General Conference in Portland,
Oregon, May 10-20, 2016.
As in previous General Conference meetings, United Methodist Women will have an
active role in the General Conference prayer ministry. One prayer
ministry activity planned is to offer quilted finger prayer labyrinths for
delegates and guests.
We are seeking UMW
members that enjoy quilting to assist us by making the finger labyrinths.
Would you like to help by volunteering to quilt finger prayer labyrinth squares
for the delegates and guests? We need 2,000 and the variety of labyrinths
made by women from all over the country will bless the recipients and lend to the
support and outreach we hope to extend. Attached is a pattern for the
finger labyrinths (ask in the church office). Each labyrinth will be tagged with a card
identifying that the labyrinth is “handmade with love and prayer by United
Methodist Women.
Please
circulate this request and the attached pattern among the UMW with whom you
have contact. Share that anyone interested in quilting the finger prayer
labyrinth squares should email GCprayer@unitedmethodistwomen.org with an estimate of how many they might be able to make and to
receive further instructions for shipping the completed labyrinths by the
deadline.
Deadline
for submission of labyrinths is January 15, 2016. If there are questions, email me at GCprayer@unitedmethodistwomen.org
