THANK YOU Dear Cayce UMC, Thank you so much for your support of the Winthrop Wesley Foundation during the Fall 2016 Semester! Because you helped us out, Wesley was able to offer worship services, Bible studies and small group service projects, and other fun events to help us continue to grow in our faith in Jesus. Wesley is an important part of our lives, so thank you again for making that possible. Peace, Winthrop Wesley Foundation

Project Share God’s Helping Hands “Angel Tree Ministry” will be focusing again this year on helping our neighbors. GHH has determined that helping to pay heating/electric bills is the most pressing need again this year. The GHH Angel tree is now displayed in the sanctuary. Our tree is decorated with envelopes for you to use to make your donations. Please make your check payable to “God’s Help-ing Hands Project Share”. These funds will be used in addition to the regular funds that GHH uses to assist people. We will collect these through the end of the year.

Thanks for your caring and support of the ministry of God’s Helping Hands.

THANK YOU A special thank you to Linzy & Gladys Sturkie, Perry Ross, John Miles, Wayne Sollee, Dan-ny Brazell, Bobby Edmonds, and Ed Schafer for putting up the Nativity this year. Thanks for all your help.
