The UMW invites the UMW members and the congregation to take a container and drop pennies or spare change in each time you pray, especially praying for our work as United Methodists in missions. Containers are available today or you may use your own container for collection. Please start your Penny and a Prayer container today! We will be doing our Penny and a Prayer mission during the months of June and July and ask that you return your filled container to the church no later than July 29, 2018. If you have questions or need a container, please contact Cathy Forbes or Iris Meekins.
