Please support the United Methodist Women by donating quality used items, sorting, pricing, baking and/or shopping at our annual Rummage Sale on Saturday, May 2nd from 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.  All proceeds go to support our UMW missions, many of which benefit our community and church.  Sign up TODAY to volunteer--sheets are on the table in the back of sanctuary. Donations of gently used items may be dropped off at the church on Thursday, April 30 and Friday, May 1 (no large furniture please). Your help is vital to our success!

Support Team "Peace Pedalers" in 2015!  We formed our church cycling team in 2009 to raise funds to help find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis (this disease affects several of our Peace church members). On May 2nd and 3rd members of our team will be bicycling 75 and 150 mile routes on the MS Citrus Tour to raise funds!  You can make an online donation (for a specific rider) or donate via check or cash at church - just indicate "MS Ride" on the memo line. Great research strides have been made in the last several years, but MS still has no cure. With your support we can help defeat this disease!

A huge thank you for your generosity, prayers, encouragement and help!  Our sewing ministry would not happen without ALL of you.  God has blessed us and answered our prayers through your kindness.  Every ribbon, thread and machine has made a difference!

 So many ladies from the church and the community have come forward to help us with sewing that we are succeeding in our Peace UM Church mission to Dress A Girl Around the World.  To date we have made over 300 dresses and 180 dolls, which have been distributed in India, Haiti and the Philippines.  We are now branching out and have started making boys shorts and hygiene kits for countries without paper products. 

 We are always glad to see new faces join us in this worthy mission.  We have kits that you can take home to sew, as many or as few as you want. Our sewing sessions in the sanctuary resume on Thursday, May 7th at 9:30 a.m. These dresses will go to little girls in Nigeria, Ethiopia and the Bahamas.  Come and join us!

Join us every Wednesday for our new Website 101 class at 7:00 p.m. We are scheduled to run for about an hour and will continue weekly until we've decided that we've had enough. This class is designed to provide a hands-on learning experience for how to create and manage your own website, how to write HTML code to create beautiful web pages, some graphics design techniques, hosting issues and whatever else that the class decides that they would like to know. If you would like to create and maintain your own website, help in the care and maintenance of our Peace UMC website, or are just curious about the process, this class is for you!  It's not absolutely necessary to have a WiFi capable laptop to bring to class, but it would definitely help!  There will be a sign-up sheet at the back of the Sanctuary or you can sign up online!
