LADIES OF THE CHURCH

A special budget meeting of the University Circle United Methodist Women is scheduled in the Yoder Room following worship. After a brief dedication of this year’s pledges, the 2011 budget will be presented for discussion and approval. All ladies of the church are encouraged to attend this important meeting. The on-going special mission project, Little Dresses and Boys’ Shorts for Africa, will be on display.

WILLOW SCHOOL TUTORS

Dan Maly is talking to individuals interested in making time to tutor young people at Willow School. The need is great and the impact is lifelong. Look for Dan in the Chapel following worship.

GAY-STRAIGHT ALLIANCE POTLUCK

GSA is Moving Forward! Three summer potlucks helped the group to organize and move forward in many exciting ways. Four areas of interest are identified: 1) EDUCATION; 2) SUPPORT for LGBTQ persons/families/straight allies; 3) OUTREACH to the community; and 4) ADVOCACY for human rights. Today's meeting is a potluck following worship to list specific programming (big or small!) we might consider. If you cannot attend but are willing to send me your ideas for specific activities and your areas of interest, they would be appreciated. Thank you for your commitment to this group as we move forward!
