United Women In FaithUnited Methodist Women is now United Women in Faith. The move is part of a refreshing of the organization that includes a new logo and an array of new and improved programs to nurture current members and welcome new women to join to put their love in action on behalf of women, children, and youth. The changes are designed to address the different needs and life stages of current members and new women and expand options for membership and engagement.
Brookings FUMC has approximately 30 members, and want to welcome anyone who has a heart for caring and sharing. We do visitations to all local Care Facilities and send card greetings to cheer many throughout the year. We offer an excellent reading program with suggestions for timely thought-provoking books. In addition to supporting various missions we routinely donate to back to school needs. We have committed to serving a Harvest Table meal in December. We will be hosting a salad luncheon on September 18th at 12pm to celebrate getting back together. PieceMakers (Quilting Group) Up to ten women meet in our church basement usually each month to make quilts. These quilts are gifted to wrap people in our congregational love. These quilts are gifted for baptisms as the church family makes their promise to teach them to grow in Christ’s love; to wrap people in brotherly love that need comfort in illness or death of a loved one; to our graduates to remind them that the church family goes with them spiritually as they go out into the world; and to a few Head Start students that are in need of a quilt for their rest time at school. We usually distribute at least 50 quilts each year. A group of 6 women started to sew and tie quilts each month. They give these quilts to the elderly in our congregation on their birthdays! Many have received a “birthday” quilt. We could use some more “hands” to help give comfort and joy to our church family. Come for coffee and see what we do! If you would like to join both or either of the groups, please contact the church office, Barb Johnson (605-651-5980) or Judi DeZeuw (605-690-7564) |

Healthy Movements ClassThis activity is an exercise program taking place in the CLC each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10:00 AM. Participation has been strong since early spring with anywhere from 9 to 15 individuals involved each day. The series of exercises directed toward improving balance and muscle strength is directed by one or more SDSU students who are members of the Exercise Science Club at SDSU. Besides exercising for about 30 minutes, participants have a chance to ask questions and express ideas about the movements or just visit with one another. Anyone is welcome to participate if you have a spare 30 minutes. It is not a strenuous activity, but it could sure make you feel better after the routine!
