United Methodist Women Fall Meeting Sept 19, 2016 Roscoe UMC, 475 High St, Coshocton, OH 43812 Phone: (740) 622-7780 Coshocton, Ohio Theme: All Around the World This will be my last newsletter since my term is ending after four years as your president and since we have no publicity person for the district, I am unsure if this letter will be continued. If you know of someone capable of simple computer skills we could use their gifts. This fall your mission team is giving the program on UMW Missions around the world. It is very interactive and I challenge you to come and participate. Since both mine and Marge Winkle s tenure is ending you can expect some exciting changes in the next year. I feel privileged to have served as your president for the last four years with my wonderful mission team. With God s blessings, Trish Rankin

Welcome Bishop Tracy Malone You are invited to meet our new Bishop Malone at Newcomerstown Christ UMC, 648 Oak Street, Newcomerstown, Ohio, on Sunday, September 18, 3:00 5:00 p.m. Worship, program and refreshments. Mission u We had nine women at the one day and five at the three day event. Some have expressed concern about the cost. We all know some budgets just don t allow for it but for those wondering why it is so much, we pay the college, all the speakers and the food. Each year we are thousands of dollars in the hole so they keep the cost as low as possible. If you haven t gone it is so worth your time and effort.
