Welcome to the WUMC Family Ministry Blog

Welcome to the new WUMC Family Ministry web page/blog. The Family Ministry is a group of families with generally younger kids (elementary age and younger) who get together about once a month for some sort of fellowship and social activity with the kids. Some of our past events have included free family movie nights, a Fall Harvest Festival, Gingerbread decorating parties. We also try to get the Mom’s and Dad’s together for some adult fellowship as well. During the school year we have a Sunday School class that can but does not always pertain to parenting issues.

My hope is that you will be able to stop by here any time and get an up-to-date look at what we will be doing and what we have been doing with the Family Ministry. And hopefully you will like something that you see so that you will be willing to stop by one of our events and check us out!! We would love to have you!!!

If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. I am ALWAYS looking for ideas to make things better, fresher and more exciting. Just tell me your idea.

Thanks for stopping by and hopefully we will

SEE YOU SOON!!

Our Calendar of Family Events!

If you have any questions or want to help plan any activities, please contact Lisa Bowman at Jon_and_Lisa@verizon.net

Have a great day and we can’t wait to see you!

Neighbors In Need Family

The family that we have sponsored this year is a single mother with 4 young girls ages 8, 3, and 2yo twins. The 3 youngest girls all have birthdays in December and January.

Bobbie, the mother, just got a part time job and is really trying to get back on her feet. When asked what she wanted for Christmas she was just silent for a while. She is mostly interested in gifts for her girls but we were able to get some ideas for her as well.

Please look at the list below and then leave a comment telling us what you will be able to purchase for the family. The gift needs to be wrapped and it needs a gift tag on it stating who the gift is to. We will be delivering them right after the Gingerbread House Party so if you can, please bring it with you to the party. If you are not able to make it to the party please let us know and we will find a way to get your gift to her. Bobbies Christmas will really be much nicer with your gifts for her girls.

**I will TRY to color things that have already been chosen blue but don't completely rely on this system.**
