Washington Farm UMC is currently recruiting for a Part-Time Office Administrator.  Qualified applicants must have excellent organizational skills and a good working knowledge of Microsoft programs, social media platforms, and church software, or a demonstrated ability to learn at a rapid pace.  To apply, please send your resume to the attention of Pamela Wolski at WFUMC, PO Box 36, Mt. Vernon, VA 22121 or Email to admin@washingtonfarmumc.org. Let your friends and neighbors know, especially if they are looking to get out in the work force again after kids are in school, they have retired, but are finding they need a little something more to do, etc. This would be perfect for them. I have loved every minute of it…well, almost 😊, NL.

OUTREACH

*Outreach is initiating a new program in association with the monthly Rising Hope Food Collection.  In addition to inviting those who want to donate to drop off food at Sy’s home and at the Education Building, we will be hosting drop-offs in the North (gravel) parking lot across from the church on the 4th Friday of the month, from 11 am to 12 pm.  That will Be Friday, April 23rd. You can still drop food donations off at the Education Building at any time during the month. Sy Berdux, the point person for this program, will get it to Rising Hope.  I would like members of the congregation who are able to help collect to come and volunteer to help Sy collect – at least 2 people at each drop.  The Outreach Chair is Scharn Robinson.  Please email to her any questions at  outreach@washingtonfarmumc.org.

Drop off your mugs at the church office or call me and I will be happy to stop by your house for pickup.  Thanks so much! Beth Jones, UMW President

*The Larry Dawes Driveway Plant sale is tentatively scheduled for June 5 from 10 am to 3 pm.  If your garden is overcrowded, please consider separating your plants, putting them in pots and bringing them to Larry’s Garden Center (aka his backyard) to be included in the June plant sale.  Be sure to label the pots so he knows what he’s selling.  It will one weekend in May.
