Peoples UMC at work and play
Sometimes we
get behind a little on reporting activities that Peoples plays a role in.












Golf During the Spring and now early
Summer a group of five men have been playing golf on Wednesday mornings at the
municipal course. The camaraderie is great and we have had an opportunity to
get to know each other in a different way. We have all found that we play about
the same and I don’t believe any of us would ever win a prize. If you have time
available and would like to join us let us know of your interest or just show
up---it’s a great little course and provides us a lot of fun! Art, Earle,
Keith, Dan and Randy will welcome you.
Shawl Ministry One of the activities of Peoples that
has served within and without our church family is the Shawl Ministry. Over the
course of years that this group of women has met they have knit many shawls
that have been given to those who have been sick or in mourning for the loss of
a dear one. They have also made hundreds of heart pillows that for the most
part have been distributed through the cancer programs at Mercy Hospital. Another
of their endeavors are pocket prayer cloths which bring comfort as a reminder
that the Lord is always with them. They have also provided from time to time
preemie hats at Maine Medical Center. Janice, Susan, Sharon, Pat, Ruth, Betty,
Doreen and Marlene have spearheaded this ministry to the glory of God and service
to a special community of recipients.
The above
events are not the only activities that have taken place through Peoples during
this period of time. I am not privileged to play a direct role in other church
sponsored activities. If you are and would like me or Pastor Tom to place any
articles on the blog with or without pictures please send your stories to one
or the other so that we may better utilize the value of the blog and then on to
Facebook.
