WFWA Latest News

A message from Merry G about the Western Farm Workers Association:

Western Farm Workers Association welcomes new members and volunteers to the upcoming holiday season. We wish to thank everyone who has helped us in the past.

For Thanksgiving this year, we will be collecting dried pinto beans and rice at Westside, in a special shopping cart that will be blessed along with the food collection by Bonnie B on Sunday, Nov 20th.

We will need volunteers on Tuesday the 22nd. All the food will be gathered that morning at Reedville Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall. It will be sorted and bagged up, then delivered to homes across the county. The distribution gets more efficient every year.

For the Christmas giving this year, we are taking requests now in our office. Our toy sort will be on December 16th at the Hillsboro United Methodist church on 8th and Lincoln. Christmas food will be done in the same way as at Thanksgiving, from Reedville Presbyterian, on December 22nd.

Please call if you have a question. Thank you

Charge Conference

Our Annual Charge Conference (basically an all-church meeting) is on Sunday, Nov 6, from 3:00 - 5:30 pm in person. 

We will meet with our District Superintendent, Tim Overton-Harris, for the usual business - such as reports of the pastor, trustees, and finance.

All are encouraged to attend. 

Extravagant Generosity Sunday

This Sunday, October 23, we will be celebrating our opportunity to pledge extravagantly of our time, talents, and gifts — inspired by God’s extravagant generosity towards us.

Our guest speaker will be Cesie Delve Scheuermann, a consultant in stewardship, development, and grant writing. For 25 years, while working as a volunteer and part-time consultant, she has helped raise over three million dollars for numerous non-profit organizations. She brings fun to fundraising!

If you are unable to attend, you can make your 2023 pledge at https://www.westsidejourney.com/stewardship-2022.

See you at 10:00 am on Sunday!
