Eight women of the congregation met together with Pastor Amy for Zoom meeting at 11:30 Wednesday, September 9. We enjoyed hearing from each other about what activities we are doing since we last met and how we entertain ourselves while in isolation.

Our treasurer, Kathy M, is collecting our mission offering and will disperse $75 to each of the 13 mission projects we support. In this time of unemployment they surely need all we can send them. We already sent $75 to Jonna R per special request as she informed us she had a specific need.

Linda R shared her views on establishing a Prayer Walk as a special project as she has noticed various neighbors walking in our woods and seeming to enjoy the peaceful quiet of our property. We discussed making or purchasing some inspirational signs with a Christian message which could be placed in various places on the grounds and perhaps motivate visitors to continue visiting our church.

Our next Zoom meeting will be at 11:30 am on Wednesday, October 14. All women are welcome to attend, and feel free to invite a visitor which can be easily accomplished by sending them a copy of our church service with instructions to use the Zoom link.
Looking forward to seeing you all in October.
Margaret S, Moderator

Since we still can not meet in person, the board has decided to give our mission offering by mail. Checks may be sent to our treasurer, Kathy M. (please contact the church office for her mailing address if you do not have a church directory.)

She will mail checks to the mission agencies we have been sending to each year.

A Zoom meeting has been scheduled for 11:30 am on Wednesday, September 9th. Pastor Amy and Margaret S will host the meeting. We will begin with devotions and prayer, followed by a chance to visit with each other. This will give us a chance to see how well the Zoom meeting works. If it works well, we can get some speakers in the future.

Would the Women of the congregation like to resume meetings on the second Wednesday of each month beginning in September 2020? Our last meeting was in January 2020 and we have a few decisions to make. We can meet by Zoom as we do for bible study and coffee hour starting anytime. We can use either our phones or computers to meet and even vote and have discussions. Pastor Amy suggested that we can even have speakers with Zoom by scheduling them ahead of time. Some business to take care of includes collecting and distribution of our mission offerings, selecting officers for the year, and revealing our prayer partners.

We also need to rethink our role in the church in the post virus time. We may have to have some meetings outside and may not be able to serve meals with our meetings or at best have picnic style meals outside the building. How can we best serve the church now and in the future? Can we continue as a functioning group when we may not be able to physically meet together in the near future? I would like to talk to each of you to discuss our plans, so give me a call and we will make some decisions for now. I miss meeting together and hope to hear from everyone.
