Pumpkin Palooza
Saturday, October 17, we hosted our 3rd annual Pumpkin Palooza.
Lots of folks helping set up and helping with activities. Great decorations, and fun food for the kids and adults, too. The winner of the the "Guess the Pumpkin's Weight" contest was four year old Morgan Arnold with a guess of 172 pounds. The actual weight of "Gourd Almighty" was 195 lbs. One of the kids even commented on how much fun he has coming to Relief for the special events. Yes, it was a fun day for kids and adults.
Special thanks to Woodbine Farms for donating the large pumpkins and Molly and Lynn for again, putting this special event together.
Craft Night
Craft Nights are every second Wednesday at 6:00 pm.
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.
For June we had a PAINT NIGHT
We set aside our regular crafts and Molly Thorne led us in an evening of learning how to create our own masterpieces. It was an evening filled with fun, laughs, fellowship, and art.
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. For October some finished decorating the paper bags for our annual Veteran's Day Project while others made hang tags for their doors. If you would like to be a part of this community outreach, talk to Elwanda.
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.
As usual, we prepared extra food for the Pumpkin Palooza, and we were able to package that up and take it to the Freege at Abundant Life Church. There was prosciutto, salami, pepperoni, popcorn chicken, marshmallow pumpkin fluff dip, cheese, and other goodies for the freege. There was potato chips, Halloween candy, sugar cookies, pretzel sticks, crackers, and other cookies that went in the pantry.
