Message from Church Council, Phoenix Rising, Student Scholarship, Women's Luncheon, Worship this Week, and More

Washington Farm United Methodist Church
The Friendship Patio-Weekly Patio Peek Thursday, May 28

A Message from John Binkley & the Church Council

As the Council Chair, it is my duty to advise you of the Council's decision regarding the Christmas tree project.

The survey was completed by 24 members. Although the information it provided was varied, it confirmed what we intuitively already knew: very few members would commit to the intensive labor portion of the work necessary to operate the lot. In reality, only 9 committed—5 for the weekend and 4 during the week.

Based on this, after a long and difficult discussion, the Council voted to discontinue the project. Please understand that this was not an easy decision or one taken lightly. All who have participated in the tree distribution realize what it has meant to the church, as well as to each individual.

The Council will continue to search for meaningful alternatives to replace it. Please let us know your ideas!

Phoenix Rising

Phoenix Rising

Tomorrow, Friday, May 29, at 10:30 AM, we gather in the Sanctuary Basement for Phoenix Rising to prepare, pack, and deliver meals to neighbors living in motels, apartments, and the Kennedy Shelter. It’s a hands‑on, high‑impact way to show care and compassion.

If you have any questions, reach out to Mary Rohweder or Donna Julian.
