There's lots going on at Relief this spring. Be sure and check all the announcements and the calendar for what's coming up.

Potato Bake

Good times at the annual Potato Bake this past Sunday. Nothing like a baked potato with plenty of toppings along with sides, salads, and great desserts. And let's not forget all the fun and fellowship. A special thanks to Millie, John, Lynn, and Molly for getting everything set up and everyone else who helped with decorations and preparing food. 

 

Serving Meals at WATTS

Monday night, March 17, members of Relief United Methodist Church Outreach/Missions team prepared and served the meal for the Winchester Area Temporary Thermal Shelter at Macedonia UMC. We served about 40 individuals a meal of meatloaf, parsley potatoes, green beans, corn, applesauce and rolls, with apple dumplings for dessert. We took extra meals to the Refreegerator at Abundant Life. WATTS operates an Overnight Shelter from 7:00pm – 7:00am every night from November – March each year.  The Overnight Shelter rotates weekly to different host church locations.

   

 

Filling the "Freege"

CCAP has installed refrigerators at three locations in Winchester. The freedge — a combination of the words "free" and "fridge" — is an outdoor refrigerator filled with donated food.  The freedge is open 24 hours a day, and those who are struggling financially can take whatever they need to feed themselves and their families. Last month, we initiated our Loaves and Fishes program so members of the church can come together and prepare meals for the "freedge" Our first project was to create over 40 sack lunches that went to the community cupboard at Abundant Life Church. We will gather again on May 21, at 6:30, to help those who are hungry in our community. If you would like to get involved, let Lynn know. 

 

Volunteering at the Our Family Center

Mission Committee members come together the 2nd Wednesday of every month to volunteer to help with crafts at the Our Family Center. This month the folks there used a washcloth to create puppy dogs. Some then made Trinity ornaments. If you would like to be part of this ministry, check with Elwanda.
