UNITED METHODIST WOMEN DISTRICT EVENTS

Our district and conference have two special events coming up soon that I just wanted to be sure you knew about.  The registration links for both are on our conference web site at https://www.wnccumw.org.  Both events are free but you do need to register to attend.  

“WEAR A HAT, BRING A HAT TEA”
SUNDAY, JUNE 5
2 PM
Via ZOOM

This time of fun and fellowship is a time for membership nurture of our members and a time of outreach to invite potential members to attend.  Yes, you are encouraged to wear a hat because we’ll be able to see everyone in gallery view in this Zoom meeting format.  In addition to devotions, sharing from the Prayer Calendar and beautiful music, you’ll hear from a representative from Cancer Services and the many ways they benefit those with cancer in our district.  The hats you collect will be taken to either Ardmore UMC in Winston-Salem or Memorial UMC in Thomasville and then donated to Cancer Services.  Plan to enjoy a cup of hot or iced tea as you learn about the health benefits of tea and play some tea party games.  Be sure and register at https://www.wnccumw.org/districtevents

Virtual Spiritual Growth Retreat
“You Lift Me Up”
June 18-19
Via WHOVA. AND ZOOM

In addition to 3 plenary sessions with guest speaker Rev. Lisa Beth White and music leaders Catherine Ritch and Rev. Dr. Mark Barden there will be 5 breakout sessions.  You can attend 2 of them, but all will be recorded so you can attend others at a later time.  The breakout sessions are:

• Tea and Mindfulness Meditation
• Crocheting Together
• Reclaiming Sabbath:  Reshaping the Rhythm of Our Lives
• Juneteenth:  An Uplifting Celebration of Freedom
• You Lift Me Up — Book Study by Catherine Rich on her book about Armenia

We’ll still be using Zoom for this event, but Whova will help all of us be a “community of women” during the retreat with lots of ways to interact and share with your United Methodist Women sisters.  Whova will make it very simple to join individual sessions with links to all sessions in one place without having to search for that Zoom invitation e-mail!  Register for this event at https://www.wnccumw.org
