2 Page 2 A Word from our President... Greetings to all of you who are part of the CT/WMA District. As your new president, I am delighted to have the opportunity to work with you. I know that I met many of you when I was the secretary of Program Resources, otherwise known as the Book Lady. I hope that I will be able to get to know you better, and meet many more of you. I also hope that you will all come to the Mission u which is being held at the East Longmeadow United Methodist. I have not taken this class, so we will all learn together. Please come and say hello, and let me get a chance to meet you. Lois Harris Changes to the CT-WMA District Team At the Spring Meeting, President Carol Stidger announced that she had accepted the position of Coordinator of Education and Interpretation on the new England Conference Team, therefore, she regretfully had to step down as District President. Lois Harris was nominated and elected to serve as the new CT-WMA District President as of that date. On January 1, 2014, our District Treasurer, Theda Cornbower, will retire as our treasurer after four years of very dedicated service. Effective that day, Elaine Folkers has agreed to be the CTWMA Treasurer. Elaine's contact information is as follows: eafolkers@snet.net Telephone: Oldfield Farms, Enfield, CT Elaine has taught computer software classes at Asnuntuck Community college, specifically she has taught Excel. She is a member of the Hazardville UMW. She has also served in the Peace Corps in Ghana, and has a heart for mission.
3 Fall 2013 Page 3 New England Conference Annual Meeting Please save the date for our 2013 Annual Meeting. The theme for the day is UBUNTU NEW ENGLAND. It will be held on Saturday, October 26, at Parkway United Methodist Church in Milton, MA. Ubuntu is an African work that means, I am human, because you are human. For United Methodist Women, Ubuntu is the word we use to describe our person to person mission experiences. This October, we will explore mission in New England by visiting the Hattie B. Cooper Community Center in Boston, by learning about the work at the Salem Economic Ministry in Salem, Maine, and by learning about a ministry called L.O.V.E...Ladies Of Vision and Excellence. Each of these ministries is located in New England. Cooper is an urban ministry and is a National Institution of United Methodist Women. Salem is a rural ministry supported by our New England Conference. L.O.V.E is a local ministry of the Wesley United Methodist Church in Springfield, MA. It is a ministry that supports incarcerated women. Thus, we will be learning about mission at all levels of our church: national, conference, and local. We hope you will come and learn about the exciting work being done right here in New England! October The Golden Rule Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ. The focus of our Mini-Mission U will be The Roma of Europe. The Roma, often called "gypsies" are the single largest minority group in Europe. Over the years, the Roma have been enslaved, shut out, shunned, and even shot. We will learn much more about our neighbors across the sea, and how we can help them, pray for them and be with God for them. Please encourage others to join us, to be educated about the Roma's culture, and be open-minded about their plight. We must try to be partners in Christ and become advocates as the Roma seek justice! Jesus commanded us in the Golden Rule, "In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets" (Matthew 7:12) It is with this in mind that we enter this study. We are all God's people. We are all blessed with gifts from God. We are all loved by Christ and asked to love others accordingly. Peace Be With You Alice Rose Spiritual Growth Coordinator From the Secretary If you are receiving a paper copy of this newsletter and have an address, please send me a note so that I can add you to the electronic edition and save paper, stamps and money.
