The Saturday UMW Circle had a full agenda this morning with LOTS of things to get excited about.
The group's Four Focus Areas:
Climate Justice: Recycling program for plastic items continues at the parsonage garage. White office paper and aluminum cans recepticles are at the church.
Food Justice: Pantry Partners is supported by our third Sunday collection. For November, we're asking for items that will be included in the holiday food boxes such as brownie mix, jell-o, and stuffing mixes.
Maternal / Children: We are supporting WIC with donations of wipes, and other items not provided through that program.
Racial Justice:
Giving opportunities: Soft Landing, the BUMP Children's Christmas effort, and the Poverello Center are just some of the ways we are encouraging the congregation to be connected to the community's needs.
The BUMP effort will be a cash donation (make checks out to the UMW)so that the Blackfeet Parish can get what is needed directly. Deadline is Nov. 12
Looking ahead:
Nov. 10 - Friday Circle, 1:00 pm
Nov. 12 - BUMP Christmas donation deadline
Nov. 18 - Saturday Circle, 9:00 am
Dec. 8 - Friday Circle Christmas party
Dec. 10 - Craft/cookie day following worship
Dec. 16 - Saturday Circle, 9:00 am
