Sundays in March | 4pm
United Women in Faith of West Ohio Conference is hosting a virtual Lenten study Sundays March 5, 12, 19, and 26 at 4pm
The study is based on Meeting Jesus at the Table by Cynthia M. Campbell and Christine Coy Fohr. The Gospels are full of stories of Jesus sharing meals with disciples, friends, even tax collectors and Pharisees. This book provides biblical insights about our own time, such as whom should we invite to Sunday dinner and who is left out and left behind in our culture today.
The study book is available to purchase at your favorite bookseller. Join the online study here: 2023 Lent Study | Westohiouwfaith (westohioumw.org)

RUMMAGE SALE
1st Weekend in May
During the Lenten season and the beginning of Spring, many of us begin to clear the clutter from our lives. One way to help clear the clutter and help our church is to put aside items for our Rummage Sale.
Do not bring items to the church yet, because we have no place to store the items.
Only baby and children clothes that are laundered and in good condition will be accepted. Adult clothing does not sell and ends up being something that has to be sent elsewhere after the event.
Some top requested items are: Tools/Equipment - Toys in good condition and clean (no stuffed animals) - Sports Gear - Furniture - Electronics - Household Items
Proceeds will go to the Restore our Windows Fund.
Rummage Sale and Bake Sale hours:
- Friday 5/5 from 9am - 4pm
- Saturday 5/6 from 9am - 1pm
Volunteers are needed to organize items and get the rummage sale ready during the week before the sale; and for clean up on Saturday - contact Sandy Holbein for details.
Donations for the bake sale are also needed - contact Sue Wright for details.
