Feb 2010 - UMW Happenings

UMW General Meeting – SAME Café – Sat. Feb 6th
Brad and Libby Birky from SAME Café will be the guest speakers at the UMW potluck brunch on Sat. Feb. 6, 9:00 – 11:00 at the church.
SAME Café, which stands for So All May Eat, was founded to provide good quality meals to all regardless of ability to pay. All church members and guests are invited to come and learn more about this wonderful ministry. If you can, bring a “brunch item” to share.

Please bring one of the following items to donate to the SAME Café: paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, or straws (individually wrapped). They have also asked for donations of silverware, plates, and coffee mugs—these should be reusable, not paper goods.

Cherry Cobbler Fund Raiser – Sun. Feb 14th
The UMW will be selling Cherry Cobblers on Sunday, Feb 14th to raise money for its programs at St. Andrew and its mission outreach. UMW’s mission outreach last year included UMCOR, The Women’s Crisis and Family Outreach Center, IFCS, Warren Village, House of Hope, Family Homestead, and a scholarship for a teacher in Belize.
UMW members are encouraged to support this event by baking at home or by joining the baking party at the church on Sat, Feb 13th from 9 to 4. Volunteers are needed to work at the sales desk on Sun. Feb. 14th. Contact Jean McHarge 303-741-9331 to volunteer or for more information.
