Fourteen came out on the final Saturday of winter for the Saturday Morning UMW Circle.

This month's presentation was from Becky Boykin who shared about her work with Summit Independent Living (out of Hamilton). The presentation may be seen on our Youtube channel and the UMW playlist.

The group passed around and prayed over a baby quilt for Amber Maclay-Schulte and a prayer shawl for a cousin of Connie Rakiecki.

Belinda Alkula shared information about the UMCOR Health Kits. Items are being collected in the church library now through Mother's Day (May 14) with the assembly of the kits taking place during our May 20 meeting. The kits will be then taken to Annual Conference in June.
