WMU NEWS August 2025
August is upon us with more summer heat. It has been a sweltering summer and it’s almost over. What a fast year this has been!
Our Serve NC church project is almost over, and you, Church, have responded overwhelmingly. The items have just “poured in,” including Kleenex. Thank you for your generosity as we seek to give our AES and AMS a needed “Welcome Back” gift crate for the start of a new year.
WMU will meet August 6th at 4:00 instead of the usual 4:30 pm. We will be packing the crates for our schools instead of a scheduled program. In July, we went to Field of the Woods as our July special event. The weather was perfect, the scenery beautiful, food abundant and was even serenaded by three gospel groups from Tennessee. Everyone enjoyed the outing.
A couple of important dates to remember:
August 5th is an Open House at the Pregnancy and Parenting center located in the shopping center nearest the theater. The times are 4-6:00 pm.
August 19th will be our Region 10 Mission Rally at 5:45 pm at Grace Baptist Church in Andrews. There is a signup sheet on the bulletin board.
August 24 will be our annual Prayer Walk for our schools and children since school starts Aug. 25. We will meet at the church at 6:00 pm and decide which schools you wish to prayer walk around. We will have an ice cream social afterwards in the church Fellowship Hall.
And finally. August is when we take up a special offering for our Broyhill Children’s Home for their school supplies. This precedes the Western Area Conference at Broyhill Home in Clyde, September 4rh, 4:00 pm. See the children, live gospel music and eat a free BBQ meal. If you’ve never gone, you should make plans to attend. You will be blessed by the children and all who work with them.
God bless,
Helen
