The Columbia District President's Message
 A Prayer for Living out God’s Plan
By Elizabeth George
“Life Management for Busy Women”
Pray over your priorities – “Lord, what is Your will for me at this time in my life?”
Plan through your priorities – “Lord, what must I do today to accomplish Your will?”
Prepare a schedule based on your priorities – “Lord, when should I do the things that live out these priorities today?”
Proceed to implement your priorities – “Lord thank You for giving me Your direction for my day.”
Purpose to check your progress – “Lord, I only have a limited time left in my day. What important tasks do I need to focus on for the remainder of the day?”
Prepare for tomorrow – “Lord, how can I better live out Your plan for my life tomorrow?”
Praise God at the end of the day – “Lord, thank You for a meaningful day, for a day well spent, for I have offered my life and this day to You as a living sacrifice.”
As United Methodist Women, we lived out God’s plan by attending the School of Christian Missions. The studies were very informative and 38 ladies attended. The scholarship winner for the district was Gay Winter and she is a member of Ashland United Methodist Church. Plan to attend in 2010.
As we prepare for tomorrow, we should plan to attend the Columbia District Annual Meeting on September 19, 2009 at Asbury Memorial UMC and the South Carolina Conference Annual Meeting on October 9th – 10th, 2009 at Trinity UMC in Sumter, SC. Don’t miss these two exciting events.
We cannot forget the Killingsworth Gala! This is a night for food, fellowship, the silent auction and a beautiful fashion show. Mark your calendar for November 12, 2009 and reserve your tickets now.
The ladies of the Columbia District have so many wonderful event and projects. I attended a delicious Salad Supper at Cayce United Methodist Church and they will donate food to the Ronald McDonald House. Chapin’s United Methodist Women made 400 disposable pads for Zambia. The Shandon UMW Garage Sale is always filled with bargains. Keep up the good work Columbia District UMW.
When I praise God at the end of the day, I humbly thank him for all of my blessings. Thank you for allowing me to serve and represent you.
Blessings to you, Betty Void |
