United Women In Faith

Deb Koch

NEW YORK, N.Y., Mar. 2, 2022: United Methodist Women is now United Women in Faith! The move is part of a refreshing of the organization that includes a new logo and an array of new and improved programs to nurture current members and welcome new women to join to put their love in action on behalf of women, children, and youth.

The new programs are fruits of research conducted over the past five years with more than 24,000 United Methodists and women of other Christian traditions participating in the surveys, focus groups and interviews. This input informed the prayerful discernment of staff and elected leaders.

The organization remains incorporated in New York as United Methodist Women and is doing business as United Women in Faith.

United Women in Faith seeks to connect and nurture women through Christian spiritual formation, leadership development, creative fellowship, and education so that they can inspire, influence and impact local and global communities.

At Kenmore UMC,  we meet monthly to share a meal and a program. We hold annual events & fundraisers which support a variety of mission projects. The UWF has small groups (circles) that provide fellowship and education encouraging support of women, youth and children.

GREETINGS!!
It's hard to believe we are on the verge of Thanksgiving and Christmas is just over a month away!!!
We want to remind you of a few things UWF has coming up for the Thanksgiving and Christmas Seasons. We have
a very busy month ahead with lots of opportunities for you to help or support our programs in several ways.

I'm sure everyone knows about the UWF Annual Pie Sale; Delicious Double Crust Apple Pie, tasty Dutch Apple Pie with Crumb Topping, and the most delicious Pumpkin Pie.  Orders have been taken and you can pick up your pies Sunday, 11/19/23).  All come with complete, easy, baking instructions (except pumpkin - just thaw and serve!).  If you did not get your order in, there may be a few extra.wink

YUMMY!  Who doesn't love homemade Christmas Cookies!?
UWF will be holding our Annual Christmas Cookie Sale on Sunday, December 10.  I'm sure you've heard or read that this is something that takes a village to achieve.   We need lots of cookie bakers to have enough cookies to make our traditional 50 boxes.
 
If you have baked in the past, please do it again  smiley !  If you haven't baked for this sale before, please consider making this your first time.  We've ;ost many of our bakers and would really love to have enough boxes of cookies so that everyone who wants one can get one.
We ask for at least 50 cookies of each recipe so every box contains the same variety.  Extras are used to fill the boxes up even more.  Please let Donna Stierheim know if you can help with this.   Cookies can be dropped off at church in the upstairs kitchen ahead of time, but really need to be there no later than 9:30 AM on Saturday December 9.
BAKERS - REV UP YOUR OVENS!
 
We saved the best for last!
 
On Sunday, December 10, we have planned a fun day of food, fellowship and music for Christmas.  What a great way to kick offr the Christmas Season!
 
UWF is sponsoring a Church Wide Program on December 10.  We begin at 12:15 with a delicious hot lunch followed by a wonderful Christmas Concert by the Red Blazer Men's Chorus.   This will be a wonderful program and a great time to share with friends and family.
Tickets are only $10 and include your meal and the concert.  Tickets will be available in the Library/Cafe after church on November 19, 26, and December 3. Please plan not join us for this special holiday event and bring the family and friends.
 
Please contact Donna Stierheim if you have any questions, would like to bake cookies, or volunteer to help with the lunch on December 10.
