01-19-23 Weekly Update

Making New Year resolutions is great fun but sometimes they can be hard to stick to, ya know? Consider starting with just ONE WORD that will be the focus of your year. Examples include consistency, grace, love, kindness, routine, plan, intention, unhurried, acceptance, etc. Make sure it's a word that is meaningful to you, then align your goals and activities accordingly.

Perhaps some of the below-listed opportunities reflect your ONE WORD???

Chamblee First UMC Fellowship Hall

A Tribute to Betty Robinson

On Dec. 16, Chamblee First lost a faithful friend and pillar of our church. Mrs. Betty Robinson loved the little ones so, in her honor, the Alma North Circle is pleased to bring back "Undie Sundays." Now through Feb. 6, we are collecting donations of new socks, underwear, and PullUp training pants for needy young children in our community (PreK-2nd grade.) Or checks made payable to Alma North Circle may be placed in the Glow Sunday School mailbox, c/o Becky Craven.

A Celebration of Life service for Betty Robinson will be held on Feb. 4, at 11 a.m. in the Sanctuary followed by a reception in Fellowship Hall. Betty graced so many people with her gift of hospitality. We now have an opportunity to serve her loved ones. To volunteer or donate items for the reception, please email Sandra Fancher by January 24.

Cards may be mailed to Betty's family: 825 N Fletcher Ave, Fernandina Beach, FL 32034
