Finally Winter is past and better days are ahead. As I am writing this mes- sage it is Easter Monday. I stared at the computer and my fingers would not move. I needed inspi- ration and the best way to find it was to put on my walking shoes and go for my usual one mile trek. I Walk through the rolling hills of the avenues and make my way into the cemetery. There I can’t wait to take respite on the bench within. Some might thinkit to be morbid to walk the cemetery, but quite the contra- ry to me. While there, I feel at peace and being in communion with God and nature. I am thankful for the good thoughts that flow through my mind while there. The camellia bushes, daffodils, tulips, and other early bloomers are in their glory. Thank God for His Son, Jesus Christ. That through His death and resurrection all things are made new again.Looking back:The Prayer Breakfast at Brian’s Steakhouse in South Hill was a “Hit”. ANGELS AMONG US, a program com- posed by our district Spiritual Growth Coordinator Jane Smith. What a joyful time we had presenting Angels with their wings. I am confident that there are many more An- gels out there that have earned their wings and halos. We all will see in God’s time.A big thank you goes to our registrar of that event. Car- ol Fields and her helper Brenda Hawkins of the Farmville UMC are always ready to help. They are a wonderful example of An- gels Among Us.Looking ahead:Farmville District UMW Mission Study LATIN AMERI- CA presented by Lori A. Valen- tine De Segovia at Main Street UMC, South Boston on April 23, 2016, from 10-12 noon. A salad lunch will follow at no charge but do register for a headcount.

The program was excellent and we thank Jane Smith for her work in getting the program together. Our offering to missions was $708 and our love offering to Evergreen UMW to help them with their tor- nado work was a total of $716.00. You ladies were very generous that day and I know your gifts were ap- preciated.The Candle Burning form is now ready for next summer. Your Candle Burning should be done this spring or summer and submit- ted to me by August 20 to count for 5 or 6 star giving. Again, gifts given for individuals that are $5 or more will be listed on the District Annual Meeting Program. All remittances should be sent to me at Mary Ful- ton, District Treasurer, 6321 Phillis Rd., Boydton, VA 23917. My email is mfulton6321@. Feel free to contact me with any of your questions.We still need someone who is interested in becoming our new treasurer to step up and volunteer. This will complete my 6th year as treasurer so I will not be eligible to be treasurer any longer. So think about it and step up. You are needed!I hope you all have a nice Spring. After all our recent cool weather some spring weather will be quite welcome to all of us.Blessings to all.Mary FultonDistrict Treasurer. . . . . . . . . . . . . . SPIRITUAL GROWTHIn this beautiful season of the year when the world is in bloom around us and the Easter Hallelujah Chorus still resounds joyfully, I’d like to believe theworld is at peace. My friends, it’s not a reality.The headlines on the news- paper beside me read, “Easter At- tack on Christians in Pakistan.” Across the bottom of my TV screen I see “Global Terrorism A Threat.” Suddenly, the world’s become closer, and my Easter joy is tainted with fear.I closed my eyes and put my head on my crossed arms in contemplation. A scenario of the eleven disciples hiding and filled with fear following the crucifixion flashed before me. They faced the same from the Jewish authorities and Roman soldiers.How did the disciples en- dure their impending danger and become strong enough to become Christ’s church in the world? It was through prayer and that final chat with Jesus when He promised a peace, unlike what the world gives, and a courage strong enough to face persecution. (John 16:33)His promises are as real now as when the disciples trusted them. We will have an opportuni- ty to share in our Christian faith at the Annual Spiritual Life Retreat April 29—May 1 at Blackstone Conference and Retreat Center. Register now for one or both days.Blessings to all.Jane S. Smith. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .EDUCATION & INTERPRETATION45720075461“For now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come,…” Song of Solo- mon 2: 11-13And here we are – springtime in Southside Virginia – the glorious Easter season. What better time to learn of our UMW missionary work, and I hope many of you willattend the mission study on April 23 at Main Street UMC in South Boston, VA. Lori A. Valentine De Segovia will talk about mission work in Latin America.Our monetary offering will go to UMCOR Latin America relief aid, and our material offerings will go to the Henry Fork Service Center. We ask you to bring acrylic craft paints, paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels, Styrofoambowls,round Styrofoam divided plates, or 8 oz. plastic tumblers. A salad lunch, of several choices, will be provid- ed by the Main Street UMW.Meanwhile you need to be thinking about your “Living Into Our Purpose” forms where you are recording the activities your UMW units are involved in this year. The deadline of August 31 when you will send the forms to me will be here soon enough. When your executive team meets next have someone review the form as your officers give input on each item, and you will have it completed in no time. If a re- quirement is one you’ve not thought about, maybe your group will come up with some creative way you can meet the expecta- tion between now and the time the report is due. Do add an ex- tra page to explain your activities. I know I’ll have lots of good pro- grams, events, etc. to read about when I receive the reports.Irene Chapman. . . . . . . . . . . . .PROGRAM RESOURCESIt was so good to see you all at the March Prayer Breakfast, a wonderful program about angels, was given by Jane Smith. I bet we all have angels in our life.As I write this, yesterday was the first day of spring and the new life opening outside. God gives usthat reassurance of new life each spring that we too will have new life when we leave this world.I am starting to think about our Annual Meeting in September and hope the books this year are as good as our 2015 books. I hope you are all reading as I am. I am getting ready to read I Am Malala and look- ing forward to it. I just finished read- ing This Child Will Be Great. It was an inspiring inside look of a nation struggling to rebuild and the women behind those efforts.Peggy Sickles. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..MEMBERSHIP, NURTURE AND OUTREACHGreetings from southern Halifax County! The trees are forming new leaves, the azaleas are beginning to bloom, the grass needs mowing and all that brings pollen to make me sneeze, unfor- tunately!If you missed the Prayer Breakfast at Brian’s Steak House in South Hill this year, you missed a great event. We had to set up more tables to accommodate eve- ryone that came.We had several “angel sightings” during the program that Jane Smith had planned and each angel received her “wings”. It was a meaningful program, and I’m sure there were many angels pre- sent that were not recognized at that particular time.Thanks to all that reported on membership. The report had to be done on the computer this year which was different from the past reports. Farmville District reported 762 members, down 41 from last year. We now have 53 active units. Let’s all try and get some new members in the coming year.Cecile FordSOCIAL ACTION Ponder on the needs of ourwomen, youth and children Obey God’s word and spread the Good NewsVicious circles we need to changeExamine ways to eliminate pov- erty Read, read, read Social Action books Travel around your community with “ideas outside the box” You and I must minister to thepoor“What good is it, my broth- ers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works?

So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.”James 2:14-17 The old adage, “Give a per-son a fish and he or she eats for a day; teach a person to fish and he or she will eat for a lifetime” is so true. Our UMW’s raise money to give to UMCOR which in turn buys seeds, etc. to give to women in impoverished countries. They are shown how to plant the seeds and how to harvest their crops. They, in turn, feed their families, sell extra vegetables to make mon- ey, use the money to send their children to school; thus improvingtheir children’s lives and their fu-VUMAC IS CEASING OPERATIONS!As District VUMAC Coordinator, I am including two pieces this month. The first paragraph is from Sam, sent to me for this newsletter. I am also including, in italics, the announcement posted on the closing of the facili- ty. Let us continue to keep the employees in our prayers and the future plans God has for the facility. Sam and the office staff firmly believe God is still in charge and will reveal His plan. Sue Mayo“The occasion is sad but let us remember all the good, no let us remember all the great times, events and memories that we have created and have had here at VUMAC. Remember that our Savior has walked the halls with all of us and will continue to be with us as he promised. We should all rejoice in having had the opportunity of sharing our faith here and now we need to share it wherever we go. My life has been blessed by being here, meeting so many and creating friendships that will last a lifetime. I thank you the women of the UMW for your service and faithfulness. May God be with you.” (Sam McCracken )The Virginia United Methodist Assembly Center (VUMAC) will close its doors permanently on May 7. The decision was made by the VUMAC board of directors at a meeting on March 11, according to Sam McCracken, VUMAC executive director.“It is with heavy hearts that we have to inform you and your groups/events that the Board of Directors of VUMAC has made the painful decision to cease operations of VUMAC on May 7, 2016," McCracken wrote. "The Board reached the decision after much prayer. This decision was not an easy one, however in attempting to be good stewards of the facility entrusted to our care, this action had to be taken."Reason for the closure, McCracken said, is primarily due to the decline of attendance at events held at the center over the last decade. McCracken acknowledged employees who will be affected by the deci- sion as well as residents of the community of Blackstone.ture.who"We ask that you remember the employees, past and present, have served the facility faithfully for many years," McCrackenFor almost 150 years Unit-ed Methodist Women have been thinking of ways to help others. Let’s continue to do so!Kathleen Mitchellsaid in his statement. "We will always be indebted to them for their commitment to VUMAC."McCracken said plans are in place for a celebration service to officially close the center on April 30 at about 3 p.m. This will coincide with the presence of the UMW and alumni as well as Virginia's His- toric Garden Week.“The decision was a slow-coming process but now that it’s been made, a lot is happening quickly,” McCracken said. He also said that additional information will be released as it becomes available.SPIRITUAL LIFE RETREATApril 29– May 1, 2016 Blackstone Conference and Retreat CenterSpiritual Slow FoodSpeaker - Reverend Kathleen Royston Of Mt.

While having 22 women on roll we average about 12-15 women in attendance at our monthly program.3629278471089We can learn from each other so please tell us what your unit is doing. We’d love to hear your story and what makes your unit special.Alice Johnson, EditorDuring the year we have several special activities which the women enjoy. In January we have a soup and salad dinner to begin the year. In April we have a covered dish dinner we call a “Spring Fling”. This year our special guest will be our Communica- tions Coordinator Alice Johnson. In July we have hosted an ice cream social for the last two years and invited all women from the church to join us. This year we are planning an “American Celebra- tion” with ice cream and a patriotic video. Every- one loves coming and enjoying the fellowship and delicious homemade ice cream as well as tribute to our American servicemen/women. In November we are planning a “Blessedness Celebration”. The UMW women will participate in a special Thanks- giving service. While we have a monthly meeting/ program each month these will be special activities throughout the year.Our fundraiser chairperson, Linda Shelton, proposed fundraiser ideas that we have implemented for three years. On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day we have spe- cial music presented by guest vocalists and people in the congregation make donations in honor/memory of loved ones. These donations are for certain songs that the guest will be singing. Our church family enjoys remembering mothers, fathers and other loved ones on these two very special days. A special bulletin is pre- pared mentioning all names of the special dedications. These have been very special fundraisers and seem to grow more popular each year. We think it’s a great way to show love and honor to our special loved ones!We are a six star unit and a Living Into Our Purpose Gold level unit. We participate in the Reading Pro- gram, assemble kits for conference, assist at the Bruns- wick Clothes Closet, help with the Backpack program, teach children in educational settings and assist in packaging food for Stop Hunger Now. We are a close knit group of women. We visit our shut-in members once a month and always take a basket of goodies which they enjoy. We always meet our pledge and send donations to many groups which assist women, children and youth locally and throughout the world. We are striving daily to be God’s hands, feet and voice wherever we may go.Elaine Chipley, President of the Prospect UMW at Ebony, VAVirginia Conference‘ON THE ROAD AGAIN IN MISSION’ExpressJune 3rd& 4th, 2016Come - Join Us As We Head To Panther Country ForUnited Methodist Women’s Day at Ferrum CollegeAlong the way (Rtes. 360 & 460) we’ll pick up those Smiling UMW Sisters waiting to join us for Ferrum Day Celebration of Dr. Jennifer Braaton’s 14 years as President of Ferrum College.

Heavy summer hors d’oeuvres will include our local Homestead lemonade and a chocolate fountain!UMW Day at Ferrum College 2016 will be a day to “wear red” and “Walk Down Memory Lane” celebrating 14 years of good times and collaborative accomplishments between Dr. Jennifer Braaten and The United Methodist Women of the Virginia Conference. Dr. Braaten’s leadership has always focused on the strength of family and community. Our day appropriately begins with the Dry Hill Draggers, a local “old time string band.” The Dry Hill Draggers originated in the late 1970’s when neighbors in the Dry Hill and Ferrum areas of Franklin County gathered to play “ole-time music.” Most of their current musi- cians still reside in Franklin County. After the “Walk Down Memory Lane Celebration” program, we will stroll (or ride on golf carts) over to the Blue Ridge Mountain Room for a reception of heavy hors d’oeuvres featuring some of Dr. Braaten’s favor- ites. Don’t miss the chocolate fountain!

The following article by Marge Swayne appeared in THE FARMVILLE HERALD and highlights the need for awareness.)What do Farmville District United Methodist Women (UMW) and Super Bowl 2016 have in common? The answer is traffic. While Super Bowl or- ganizers make plans for the weekend’s high-traffic event, UMW groupsacross the country will be rallying to combat traffic of another kind ----human trafficking.The UMW’s “Open your Umbrella” campaign is designed to form a virtual umbrella over victims of hu- man trafficking. “The Super Bowl ranks second only to Thanksgiving as the day on which Americans consume the most food,” Susie Johnson of the UMW Washington Office of public policy said. “Some of those who are trafficked will serve food in restaurants or catered parties related to the Super Bowl. Others will clean hotel rooms, wash dishes, tidy nail salons, deliver dry cleaning or wash windows. Some will be trafficked as sex workers for escort services.”“We were shocked to learn that it happens in the United States,” the UMW social action coordinator for Farmville United Methodist Church, Valerie Montgomery said. “It isn’t just happening to someone in far- off East Asia. It’s young people here in the U.S. who are lured under false pretenses.”According to a December 2015 press release from Attorney General Mark Herring, Virginia is consid- ered vulnerable to human trafficking because of its location on the East Coast, international air and seaports and the large number of major interstate highways. Through September 30, 2015, the National Human Trafficking Resource Center’s hotline received more than 490 calls referencing 112 reported cases of human trafficking in Virginia. Around 80 percent of the cases involved women, and at least 35 cases involved U.S. citi- zens. Sex trafficking accounted for 71 percent of cases with forced labor adding another 22 percent.“It does happen to middle-class girls ---and boys too” Montgomery said. “It can be something as simple as a young girl having a conversation on the internet. Someone says, ‘I’m a 15-year-old boy,’ and of course, they’re not. It’s a gradual process, but once you’re trapped, you’re trapped.”Montgomery cited a case that occurred in a Richmond truck stop last year. “There was a young woman staring forlornly out of a truck window,” she said. “Somebody felt something wasn’t quite right and called the police. As it turned out, the young woman had been abducted on the West Coast, and they’d been torturing her the whole time.”“The Open Your Umbrella” effort, Montgomery explained, is to raise awareness about such situations. “They tell us just to be aware,” she said. “If you are out somewhere and see something that just doesn’t seem right, then call 911.”I always tell people to call us if they see something they’re uncomfortable with or that causes concern,” Farmville Police Chief Curtis Davis said. “Give as much information as possible, like a tag number or descrip- tion of a vehicle. While filing a report may be a difficult decision, always err on the side of caution and you may be able to save someone.Many people wonder why victims of human trafficking don’t just leave but there is a fear factor in- volved. If the victim has been threatened that her children or family members may be killed, it takes a lot of courage to break free. That’s why the United Methodist Women chose an umbrella as a sign of safety.NAME OF CHAPTER CANDLE BURNING REPORT SHEETList names in alphabetical order, last name first.
