The executive of the Women's Association has one clearcut goal and that is to grow membership in 2010. The ladies will be handing out invitations at the door on Sunday under the headline "The Women's Association needs you!". Church members will be invited to the first meeting of the WA in the A.S. Welsh on Tuesday, the 26th with Solomon as guest speaker.
The WA will then discuss and confirm the programme for the rest of the year, included on the agenda will be the possibility of joint initiatives with the Men for the Master after Easter. And another really great idea, which comes from the president Sophia Williamson, is that St Mark's host a Christmas dinner this year for all members who are alone on Christmas Day.
The WA has been involved with Meals and Wheels for many years, but time has caught up with the team. The association with programme does not however end. The WA has decided to give R2 800 towards buying food for the organisation. Our treasurer Beate Green is facilitating that. And it does not end there. The WA will also give R500 towards Guild Cottage.
The WA also noted the Men for the Master's plan to have a clean up campaign around the church next month. Sophia will tell the lads to put that project on hold as she is at "war" with the council, who are charigng the church R5 000 to maintain the six stands, which make up St Mark's.
City Council be warned Sophia is coming. Irvine this may be a good time for a holiday. The Lord is certainly working through the women of the church.
Marianne happened to pass through the office and reports that the new printer copier is a beauty. Thank you once again to Mike MacMurray for making this happen from the WA and the congregation at large.
PS: The WA is looking for an example of the Mark's letterhead. Does anyone have an example of one that can be copied and incorporated on WA stationary in the year ahead. You can let the editorial team know via the comments button at the bottom of this article.
