Coming THIS THURSDAY (December 2nd) is the United Methodist Women’s Christmas Dinner. It will be held at 6:00 pm at the fellowship hall of Salem UMC. Come celebrate together with these wonderful ladies that have really made a difference in our church and in our community.
Thanksgiving is coming fast! You can start your giving of thanks by joining with our own UMW in supporting this year’s World Thank Offering. The event is called, “Break the Bank.” Salem has had the largest offering for the last few years – lets keep up the good work!
The World Thank Banks need to be turned into the office or brought to the meeting. The meeting is November 11 at 10:00 at the church. It’s a fun meeting because we get to separate all that money. Please come join us!!!
We are having a Vintage Christmas Booth again this year. If you have any Christmas decorations that you would like to donate, please bring them on November 4 or 5. If you have any questions, Call Gerry Harris or Carolyn Battey, they are the brains behind the bazaar ( or bizarre brains?)
For those of you that are interested in helping out the Bazaar, the ladies have asked for a few items. It’s important that they get the supplies they need so they can create the wonderful things that support their ministries.
They have asked for:
Thanks for all of you who have already helped!
The world famous Salem UMC Rummage Sale has come and gone. Thanks to all who came, bought, donated, and participated in this wonderful event. You have helped contribute to many ministries and beeen a part of making people’s lives better!
Gerry Harris and Carolyn Battey would like to thank Jimmy, for his help setting up for the rummage sale. Also thank you Jann for all the publicity you give us for this sale. To Wayne Spicer for putting up with us women, also taking the leftovers to Rolla and all those who tirelessly worked to set up, constantly fold, and price, serve as cashiers, etc.
They couldn’t have done it without you, God Bless you all.
Once again, it’s RUMMAGE SALE time!!! The actual event will be on August 6 from 8am to 3pm and August 7 from 8am to noon.
We need YOUR help! You can bring your CLEAN, USEABLE treasures to church Monday August 2 after noon. Bring them to the Library. Again, please be sure that everything is clean. Undies must never have been worn, mechanical things must work.
If you are willing to help with the set up or during the sale, especially cashier (she’s desparate), please call Gerry Harris.
Just in case you missed it, the Christian Women Working Together (CWWT) Prayer Meetings at noon on Tuesdays have been put on-hold for now. You can still get involved in other prayer ministries, though! We will still have our CWWT Network Meetings at 6:00 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month and the CWWT Leadership Team meets at 7:00 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month. Both meetings are at the Bank of Salem Courtesy Room on 4th St, Downtown Salem.
Coming soon, we’ll be starting a new Bible study based on the book of Ruth.
It’ll be held here at Salem UMC on Tuesday evenings, June 22, July 6, July 20 and Aug 3.

Ruth: Loss, Love & Legacy – by Kelly Minter is a women’s Bible study of Ruth’s journey of unbearable loss, redeeming love, and divine legacy. The second in the Living Room Series, this study delves into the virtuous character of Ruth, her unique relationship with her mother-in-law Naomi, and her blossoming love with Boaz. If you’ve ever felt devastated, struggled as a stranger, longed to be loved, or wept along the way, you’ll find a loyal sister in Ruth.
The world famous Salem UMC Spring Luncheon is going to be on Saturday, April 17th! This has been a wonderful event, full of all kinds of table settings, food, and fun!
