United Methodist Women March
Activities..!!
All are welcome to join us. We also are
interested in helping any women form a new circle. We are often asked
what are we about. The United Methodist Women have always been about
mission: local, state, national and international. The Women’s
Division supports a large share of the mission projects of the United
Methodist Church. We, as a local unit make a pledge to the district each
year to help carry on mission work. When a member passes away, a gift to
mission is sent in her memory. We also can get cards for birthdays,
etc., for $5 each and the card is sent to the person stating money has been
sent to mission in their name. If you have interest in finding out more
about the mission cards, ask at our Market Day (the first Sunday of each
month), or call Kay Putman (592-2294). Please feel free to join us
anytime or if you have any ideas for us, feel free to let us know.

World
Day of Prayer
March
5, 2010 at 1:00
This year the United Methodist Women will host
the World Day of Prayer service in the Lodi area. The 2010 service
written by the women of Cameroon in West Africa takes its opening from Psalm
150 and begins the way the psalm does “
Praise
God.”
This year's theme, "
Let
Everything That Has Breath Praise God,"
takes its cue from Psalm 150 and begins the way the Psalm does, “Praise
God.” Through this invocation,
God is called up as “…our
refuge and strength, ever ready to help, strengthen, guide and enlighten us in
times of joy and sadness.”
Wherever we find ourselves in life, we also
find God’s unconditional love. Blessed with great cultural wealth,
this perspective of God's unconditional love is at the very core of the
Cameroonian capacity to praise God.
On March 5, 2010, we will join with people all
over the earth and with all of creation. Together we will fulfill the call of
Psalm 150: Let everything that has breath praise God. We anticipate yet
another wonderful service which the World Day of Prayer Committee in Cameroon
has prepared for us.
Let's turn our prayers into
action..!!
