Dear Sisters,
Happy Summer! The temperatures are finally reflecting the season! We hope you’re enjoying the sunshine, finding some shade and air conditioning, and spending time with friends and family. If we have your current address (and you’ve been attending UFC or EBF for any length of time), you should have received a postcard from women’s ministry, directing you to this blog for the things we have planned for the women of UFC this summer. If you didn’t get a postcard and would like to be added to our mailing list, please let us know!
You can find all the summer activities for UFC women below or under the ATTEND tab on the blog and along the sidebar. Should you have any questions regarding any of these events, contact Jamie Harms at 541-913-0013 or jamieharms@gmail.com.
Prayer Groups
As we become a single church family, the women’s ministry team sees prayer as a foundational piece in us getting to know one another and becoming one church. We will focus on prayer this summer July 7-August 11 and then dive into God’s Word together this fall.
- Mondays at 7 p.m. at the church with Carolyn Rust
- Thursdays at 10 a.m. in the Fireside Room with Jamie Harms (childcare provided)
One of the habits we have at UFC is incorporating the psalms into our prayers and into our summers. We have shared various resources over the years on the psalms, and for this summer, we’ve collected them all here. We hope they bless you throughout the weeks!
DinnerS on the Deck
Come join us for some fun evenings to connect and meet one another. This is a potluck event, so bring a salad for 6 and join us for dinner. Dessert and drinks will be provided. You can find the registration link for these dinners here.
- Thursday, July 14 at Kathy Kitchel’s home
- Thursday, August 11 at Joyce Hart’s home
- Thursday, September 15 at UFC Emerald Campus
Lunches on the Lawn
Each week we will meet up on the lawn behind the sanctuary. Bring your own lunch and enjoy time with our sisters this summer. Children are welcome as there is a playground for littles and soccer, basketball, and games for the bigger kids.
- Thursdays from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. on the back lawn at the Emerald Campus July 7, 14, 21, 28 and August 4 and 11.
Finally, we encourage you to check the blog throughout the summer to find new resources and old favorites, including podcasts, Scripture read aloud, and study resources. We have reformatted the menu bar with — Listen, Learn, Pray, Bless, Attend, Know, and Contact. We hope this provides a simple and clear way to get involved at UFC and be blessed by new blog content as it becomes available. Watch for some special hospitality opportunities and ideas under the “BLESS” tab along with new people features under the “KNOW” tab.
