This was an important year
for United Methodist Women. We are celebrating 135
years in missions
I am thankful for our
United Methodist Women. We have six Circles and one
Support Group. They have served God in many, many
ways. Some of these are listed below:
1. The meetings we have
attended are: District Winter Workshop, South
Central Jurisdiction Meeting in San Antonio Texas,
District Day Apart, Schools of Christian Mission at
OCU, District Annual Meeting, UMW Annual Meeting In
November, we will have local officer's training. We
will also attend Toole Tyme at Cookson Hills.
2. We had one membership
coffee and most Circles have gained several members.
3. Our Lenten study, "The
Journey to Freedom," was taught by Burchie Louthan.
4. Each Circle collected
books to be given to Sunset Elementary School.
Approximately 150 new books were donated. Other
ways women served at the school: monitors for the
yearly tests, bringing refreshments for the staff
and organizing the school's supply closet.

boxes and 2 sacks of school supplies were given to
The John Wesley Charter School by our Unit.
