All members and friends are welcome at Women’s
Fellowship meetings and activities. Each woman is
encouraged to participate according to her own
interests and gifts as led by the Spirit of God. We
are an active part of the First Baptist Church.
This informal group
meets on Wednesdays
in Gilbert Hall at 1:00
p.m. All women and
girls are invited to bring
their own projects or
use materials available
at the needlework.
Contact Edie Castagno
if you are interested in
attending this group.
WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE
Women who are working get together in homes occasionally for a variety of activities
or discussions. For information call Sheredith Seeley.
TAI CHI
This gentle exercise group meets weekly in Fellowship Hall on Thursdays from 1 to 2
pm. There is a small fee to cover the professional instructor, but the first class is
always free. Drop by or call Sonja Davis.

CHRISTMAS CARD PROJECT
In December, church families and friends remember each other on the Christmas
Greetings Board. One card is posted on the board, and the money saved on cards
and postage is donated to a mission or community project.

Your used Christmas cards are recycled into attractive gift tags that will be for sale
during the Christmas season. The money received from the sale of these tags goes
toward special remembrances sent to our shut-ins throughout the year.

Love Gift, an over-and-above offering, expresses our thanks to God for our blessings,
and our desire to share these blessings with others. The money received supports

Ministries. Colorful boxes, or envelopes, are available for personal use at home
WHITE CROSS
ABW Ministries Outreach
Through White Cross, we help our missionaries nationally and internationally with
needed items. This group meets at 10:00 a.m. on the first Tuesday of the month,
October to May, in Fellowship Hall. If you have questions, call Jean Denton or Carol

MEALS-ON-WHEELS
This year our First Baptist involvement in Meals On Wheels is down to one route that
we do twice a month. Our long time, faithful volunteers Jean Forristall and Jean Martin
decided it was time to retire. Many thanks to them for the years of dedication to this
community outreach program of First Baptist Church.
Volunteers are needed for us to continue this worthwhile program. It only requires
approximately an hour once a month on either the first or third Monday morning. I'd be
happy to have someone ride along with me to get a feel for the route. Just contact Fay
Trowbridge --Thanks in advance.
RECEPTIONS
Women’s Fellowship provides receptions for funerals or memorial services. We set
up and serve refreshments, many of which are made by church people.
