UMW Recognition
Sunday
April 19, 2009, was
Mission Recognition Sunday of the United Methodist Women of
Epworth-Euclid UMC. In presenting two awards, President
Marilou Abele said, “The United Methodist Women Special
Mission Recognition is an award presented by the local
church unit. This morning we are privileged to present two
such awards.
“The first recipient wears many hats in the church. She is
often ‘chief cook and bottle washer’ for church gatherings.
She oversees the scheduling of the church activities. She
led the Epworth-Euclid UMW for more than four years,
motivating us to reach out and expand our activities. She is
the voice that says ‘come-in please’ when you ring the bell,
our financial director and office manager. Jan Peterson,
will you please come forward?
“The second honoree is a lady with many talents. She also
cooks many church meals and has baked dozens and dozens of
cookies for many, many church receptions. As a member of
Epworth-Euclid United Methodist Women’s board she initiated
and maintained this unit’s UMW Reading Program, which
encourages congregants to read inspirational books. Further,
she planned and directed the Annual Valentine’s fundraisers.
She now teaches our adult Sunday School class. Cindi Martin,
will you please step forward?”

Twenty-seven members and friends of the Epworth-Euclid
United Methodist Women attended a lovely luncheon and
fundraising event at Judson Manor on Saturday, September 27,
2008. There was excellent music, food and fellowship as we
gathered to provide financial support for the continuing
mission programs of our UMW. The Silent Auction and Boutique
items offered “something for everyone”! Some of the many
items for sale and for bidding were: a beautiful
cross-stitched sampler of Epworth-Euclid, wonderful homemade
goodies including muffins, marmalades, cookies and breads,
colorful handmade lap quilts, lovely jewelry, live plants, a
variety of framed artwork, beautiful decorative plates,
exquisite glass ornaments and a handmade wool Rya rug. Many,
many thanks to all who so generously donated their money,
items, services, and time to this annual event. Our UMW of
Epworth-Euclid Church raised just over $1,000!! These funds
will be used for mission projects locally, nationally and
globally as we strive to glorify God in all we do.
