The Sanctuary at Advent
The sanctuary was beautifully decorated for Advent. From the Christmons Tree, the altar pieces, the flowers, and the amazing wall murals, we could not have asked for a more fitting atmosphere to celebrate the coming of Christ's birth. Thanks to Laura, Mollie, Lynn, Debbie, Millie, and everyone else who had a hand in making this happen.
Volunteering at the Our Family Center
Mission Committee members come together the 2nd Wednesday of every month and volunteer to help with crafts at the Our Family Center. This month the folks there made winter decorations. If you would like to be a part of this community outreach, talk to Elwanda.
Samaritan's Purse
The Mission Committee continues to be active as members of the church contributed items and the committee put together 32 boxes that will be sent to Samaritan's Purse to be distributed here in the U.S. and around the world.
Blankets!!!!!!!!!
The Mission Team at Relief United Methodist Church collected hundreds of blankets to give to groups in Frederick County to distribute to those in need. Among the groups we are helping are Our Family in Front Royal, CCAP, Abba Pregnancy Center, and many others.
Filling the "Freege"
The Loaves and Fishes program at Relief United Methodist Church, begun by the Witness Committee, was started so members of the church could come together regularly to prepare meals for the "freege." CCAP has installed refrigerators and pantries at three locations in Winchester. The freege — a combination of the words "free" and "fridge" — is an outdoor refrigerator filled with donated food and, along with the pantries, are open 24 hours a day Those who are struggling financially can take whatever they need to feed themselves and their families. If you would like to get involved or just want more information, let Lynn know.
Craft Night
Craft Nights have begun again every second Wednesday at 6:00 pm.
Here are some pictures from last year. Crafters, and anyone wanting to learn a craft, come together each month for fun, fellowship, and sharing of snacks as they work on their own projects and help each other with theirs.
The men have their own table where they discuss important issues and solve the problems of the world.
