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!

Fall Harvest Day - October 30, 2011

Join us for a Fall Harvest Day Party at Jubilee Hall on Sunday, October 30, 2011 from 11:30-1:30.  There will be crafts, games and the community service project of creating 100 (peanut-free) Trick-or-Treat bags for the soup kitchen.

We are in need of the following donations for the Trick-or-Treat bags:
  • 50 GIANT size lunch bags (we already have 50 and they were apparently bought at Target)
  • 100 fun-sized plain M&Ms
  • 100 fun-sized Skittles
  • 100 fun-sized 3 Muskateers
  • 200 Tootsie Rolls
  • 100 snack-sized bags of pretzels
  • 100 snack-sized bags of Goldfish
  • 100 applesauce and/or fruit cups
  • 100 packages of cheese crackers
  • monetary donation to cover remaining items (if needed)
Please respond to let us know what you can donate and how many you will be purchasing so we know that we have enough items to fill all 100 bags with the same items.

Also, bring Halloween costumes and a snack to share!  

RSVP by October 25th so we have enough craft supplies.
