United Methodist Men The United Methodist Men of Panther Springs United Methodist Church meet on the third Saturday morning at 7:30 AM for breakfast and a business meeting. Jim Keener is President, Tom Long is Vice President, Jim Wilder is Secretary, and Chuck Orndoff is Treasurer. United Methodist Men "Prayer Pager" Ministry The United Methodist Men are excited about a brand new ministry they are providing for Panther Springs United Methodist Church – a "prayer pager" ministry! We believe this will be a wonderful ministry of encouragement for our people. Four pagers have been purchased by the UMM. These pagers will be assigned for one week to those who are in need of the church’s prayer support and encouragement. For example, if we have someone who is sick and in need of prayer, a "prayer pager" can be assigned to them; or, if someone has had a recent death and needs prayer support in grief, a "prayer pager" can be assigned to them; etc… How does it work? When you pray for someone who has a pager, you dial the telephone number for the pager (318-1777). You will be given the opportunity to punch in your telephone number. Then, hang up. In just a few seconds, the prayer pager will vibrate. The person who has the pager will know that someone has just lifted their name in prayer. This should be encouraging to them. This ministry will only work if you participate!
United Methodist Women The United Methodist Women is an organized unit of women from all walks of life. There are two Circles of the UMW to accommodate practically anyone's schedule that would like to attend. The two Circles have ongoing mission projects such as MATS (Ministerial Association Temporary Shelter), CEASE (Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Shelter), The Daily Bread, and Baskets of Snacks for people in the ICU waiting area at Jefferson Memorial Hospital. Each year the UMW focuses on one particular verse from the Bible. This year the verse is Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God. Circle I meets at 9:00 AM on the first Wednesday of each month in the Fellowship Hall. Their focus for 2005 is to help Superior Home Healthcare and Hospice with items of need. For more information on this Circle or any other, contact Mary Gosnell at 586-4803. Circle II meets with Chairperson Linda Raley at 7:00 PM on the second Tuesday of each month.
Mary Gosnell is President of The United Methodist Women and you may reach her at (423) 586-4803.
