*With the production of COVID-19 vaccines in high gear and many receiving vaccinations, we’re beginning to see a glimpse of normalcy on the horizon. Unfortunately, that does NOT include a May Yard Sale, UMW’s traditional fundraiser 
Nevertheless, with the success of our “little green church Christmas mice” project still fresh in our memory, we’ve decided to do a sequel…with your kind and generous assistance. We’ll make 32 mice this time – 16 males and 16 females. We have plenty of fiberfill, yarn, and fabric for the female aprons and mob caps, but we could use 1/4 and 3/8 inch ribbon in red, green, white or gold, grey thread, and miniature wreaths, ornaments, baskets or decorations that can be fashioned into bundles that the mice can carry. Once again, I am happy to bring you the felt and mouse pattern so you can cut out the body pieces at your home and pick them up when you are finished. We can meet inside the Education Building in small groups or outside as the weather gets warmer to assemble, stuff and dress the mice. We won’t sell the mice until November when the Christmas Tree lot opens, but we might as well get started now while we’re still at home a good bit. So please let me know how (or if) you would like to participate. Please email or call Nancy at the church office if you are interested. 703-780-4696; admin@washingtonfarmumc.org. Thank you so much in advance.
