ORD 2026 Annual Fall Meeting

September 12 at Pataskala UMC

The guest speakers were Tammy Jewell, founder and president of God’s Hygiene Help Center, and her executive director, Kathryn Farrar. The attendees were asked to bring new or gently used purses along with these hygiene items: sanitary napkins, tampons, wet wipes, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. At the meeting, we packed the purses with the hygiene items, along with a copy of The Daily Bread and scriptures for each purse. Tammy and Kathryn loaded the back of their vehicles with four large bins of packed purses and boxes of the extra items. These purses will be given out to those in need.

 

After a brief business meeting, the 2027 ORD leadership team was installed, and Pastor Carl Redding at Pataskala served communion. It was a fabulous, meaningful, and inspiring day!

 

Summit Station UWFaith served an incredible breakfast, and the Kitchen Team at Pataskala provided a delicious Taco Bar with every topping imaginable!

​

On January 10, 1969, Stonybrook Women’s Society of Christian Service (WSCS), one of the groups that formed United Methodist Women in the early 1970s and is now called United Women in Faith, was granted permission to use the patterns developed by Francis K. Spencer of the Lutheran Church of the Ascension in Danville, VA. She designed the Chrismons from Christian symbols of Monograms used by early Christians. The Lutheran Church of the Ascension owns the trademark and copyrights for the Chrismons.  Chrismon is a combination of parts of two words, Christ and Monogram.  Each Chrismon has a symbolic meaning. The Chrismon ornaments that you see on the Chrismon Tree were handmade by Stonybrook WSCS.
