Saturday, March 26, was a special day for the Northwest District United Methodist Women. The district met at Fairwood UMC for its district spring meeting. The Fairwood unit served a delicious brunch to the fifty or so women in attendance. Suzanne McDougle, District President, welcomed everyone to the meeting. Once brunch was over we moved to the sanctuary for the program. The district remembered those who died in the last year with an In Remembrace service. Women were invited to share their memories of the women in their unit who had died during the year.
We also shared from Response magazine and the Prayer Calendar. There was a report from the Legislative Event held in Austin in January. Certificates for Mission Today accomplishments were given to the participating units and those participating in the reading program were recognized.
Doris Finley, District Vice President, introduced the keynote speaker, Jennifer Sample, Executive Director of the Methodist Mission Home in San Antonio. Ms. Sample shared with the group the history and progress of the Mission Home. Ms. Sample shared much literature and a CD about the home. Everyone found the meeting very informative.
