Mark your Calendar and More What's Going On?
                                         Come be part of the strong heritage of the United Methodist Women!

         We are passing the baton of  concern, caring, and tradition of the UMW from one generation to another.
    We are looking for junior members to be mentored by the senior members of the current UMW. Learn who
    they are, where they started, what they do and then help define where they are going as women in the
    United Methodist Church. For the Woman who finds meaning in her church and is drawn to its fellowship,
    who wants to combine fellowship with study, worship, and outreach opportunities. For the woman who
    feels she has gifts to offer that are to be shared with others, who seeks a supportive community to affirm
    her own sense of purpose and commitment to God...United Methodist Women invites you to:
         Grow spiritually through worship, Bible study, and prayer. Celebrate the person you are becoming in your
    journey with Jesus Christ and develop, as well as sustain, meaningful  relationships. Share who you are
    and your gifts and then take action to make a difference in your community and the world.    
    Our Purpose:
            As United Methodist Women we shall be a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to
    experience freedom as a person through Jesus Christ - develop creative, supportive fellowship - expand
    concepts of     mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.  Joining this group, no
    matter who you are or where you are in your spiritual journey, is a unique opportunity to move in harmony
    with other women who have been  responding to this purpose for over one hundred years.
              So come join us to pass along the rich tradition of the United Methodist Women.  For more information,
    please contact JoAnne Talone or Dot Law through the church office - the number is at the bottom of this
    page.

    “TRASH & TREASURES—ROUND 2”
    Milford Oyster Festival
    SATURDAY, AUGUST 21
    Mary Taylor MYF-Fundraiser
    HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP:
    #1) Donations would be appreciated,          especially jewelry,
    household items and children, baby and men’s clothing. Please no
    women’s clothing, TV’s or computers. So if you missed cleaning
    out your closets before the June Fair, this is your second chance!
    Bring your donations to church on any Sunday or check with Bev
    Pierpoint to see when she and her faithful crew, (Dolly & Carol)
    might be down at church doing prep work. Please don’t wait until
    the last minute to make donations as it is nearly impossible for the
    staff to price these items and run Trash & Treasures (T&T) at the
    same time.
    #2) Volunteer your time to staff T&T during the Oyster Festival. We
    need MYFers, young adults, not-so young adults, the whole    family!
    Bring a friend! We especially need some young and energetic folks
    at the         beginning of the day (9AM-ish) to set up and also at the
    end of the day (4PM-ish) to break down.
    If you are coming to the Festival—why not spend a few hours at
    T&T? Contact Bev if you can help out.
    Proceeds from “T&T Round 2” will benefit Bodies' Place and our
    Youth Ministry.
