Today was the first gathering of the UMW in the Great West District, and what a gathering it was! A wonderful group of ten folks gathered at the church in Sidney to carpool to Chappell UMC where the meeting was to take place.
A full schedule was in store with refreshments, singing, the business of setting up the new district and much more. Highlights included a presentation by a representative from Epworth Village (in York, NE), a facility that offers support for young people here in Nebraska. Each of the units (local church UMW groups) brought items for the facility which was exciting to see brought forward. Another treat was the presentation of more than 300 quilts which had been hand made for children and others in hospitals and treatment facilities.
It was a great time to be in fellowship with so many wonderful people from all over the district which stretches over about 1/3 of the state.
The UMW at Sidney is off to a great start and will be doing some amazing things in the coming months, come back to see what!
