United Methodist Church of Early, IA
EARLY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
WOMEN'S DIVISION

History: The Woman's Society of Christian Service was organized in 1940. The three active organizations of the church, Ladies Aid Society, Foreign Missionary Society and Home Missionary Society, were combined into one society. A Wesleyan Service Guild was organized in 1941 under the sponsorship of the W.S.C.S. The Guild was an organization for the business and professional women of the community and was an active organization for about seven years. During the mid-70's, the unification of the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church brought about a reorganization and name change for the women's organization. It is now called the United Methodist Women (U.M.W.) of the Early United Methodist Church. There are 40 members of the local unit.

Activities: During the year the dedicated members of the UMW host a Soup Luncheon, a Women's Brunch, and their Annual Christmas Capers. They respond to human need through action and reflection during times that the parishioners are in need by serving funeral lunches and dinners. Mission studies are an important part of their program, and they continue to participate in mission giving by supporting The Ingathering, Shesler Hall, Bidwell Riverside, Hawthorne Hill, and local community projects.

Please contact the church office if you would like to join in the activities.

Bible School at Early, IA
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL




COMMUNITY VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
“Shake It Up • 2011”

Jesus calls us to “shake up” our lives and become his followers.  The Bible gives us the recipe:  be ready for God’s call, give happily to God and to others, believe fully in Jesus as God’s Son, remember Jesus’ life and teachings, and celebrate God forever.  Shake It Up Café introduces the children to stories of biblical festivals that reveal these ingredients and link the Old Testament, the New Testament, and our lives today.

JULY 10-14, 2011 – 6:30-8:30 p.m.

The fun began on Sunday, July 10th and continued through Thursday, July 14th.
  Leaders were Jeannette Weber, Marge Cuthrell, and others.

THANK YOU:
A special thank you to all the teachers and helpers who made Vacation Bible School
 a wonderful experience for our children.  Thank you for sharing your time and talents!
