UMW NEWS:
We had a successful fair Saturday October 26th. The bake table/can goods and African Food sale did the best, as it always does. With the few workers we had actually working the fair, we did great. It is a lot of work setting up, manning the tables and breaking everything down after it is over. There is a lot of cooking, shopping, baking and canning that is done to provide all these goodies, along with unpacking and setting up everything for the flea market. The money that is raised helps the church pay their Mission Shares. Without the hard-working women, we would not be able to pay our Mission Shares in full. Thank you, ladies, for a great job well done, and everyone who purchased the goodies that we had. We will announce our grand total of our sales once we are done selling and then counting the money.
DISMAS HOUSE
October I fed the guys at the Dismas House I made a chicken casserole and butternut squash. My helpers Robin made her famous toss salad, and Barbara made her famous whoopie pies. They loved everything. It is a good feeling to help those who want to get their life back to normal. If anyone is interested in doing November, please let me know. There is money available if you need some to do the dinner the 3rd Tuesday of the month.
Operation Christmas Child
We met on Tuesday, November 5th and together we boxed 88 gifts for this mission project! Thanks to all who donated and volunteered their time. It was a great night of work and fellowship.
TURKEY TIME:
It is time to collect for turkeys to help our neighbors in Quinsigamond Village have a great Thanksgiving dinner. I will be collecting money to do the shopping of the turkeys and will deliver them to the community center. The week that I am on vacation, you can give your money to Robin. We will also be collecting can goods to add to the turkeys for a great dinner. I will deliver all that to the community center too. The community center comes in and opens up early so I can bring the turkeys in according to my schedule, which is a great help. I will shop to get the best price for turkeys. We are a caring church!!! Let's do a great job again!!

Sensory Room-We have added a Sensory Room for children who have outgrown the nursery but are not able to participate in other offered programs. We are requesting grant money from the Conference for some costly items, but are also looking for donations to help us provide a successful and safe environment for these children. Becky is working on a list of such items. If you are interested in helping, please contact the office or send a check with the memo designation stating, "Money for the Sensory Room."
If you have any questions regarding any of these programs, don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you , the Education Committee
