WOMEN’S EVENING GALA

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17 | 5:30-8pm | $25

Guest Speaker: Kim Gravel from Kim of Queens. Kim was Miss Georgia in 1991. She went on to serve as US Goodwill Ambassador to Japan. She has taken her expertise and experience in the pageantry world and uses it to coach and train pageant contestants. She has a rare gift of encouraging and guiding people with loving directness. Kim finds the hidden gem in each young woman she works with and helps bring out those qualities.

It’s not about exploiting girls and making them into Barbie dolls…it’s good, wholehearted stories and life lessons mixed with humor and love.

You may have seen Kim on the Steve Harvey Show where she is a regular guest. Kim will deliver a message that will relate to young girls, 6th grade

and up, as well as women of all ages! Invite your daughters, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, cousins, & friends! | Tickets are now available from the Grove Committee members and the

church office. THIS EVENING WILL SELL OUT SO GET YOUR TICKETS EARLY!

HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Decorate a table for 8: These do not have to be formal dinner settings. Whimsical, holiday, casual, seasonal, and fun settings are encouraged. Contact the church office or Karen Oothoudt if you want to decorate a table. Buy a table: This means purchasing 8 tickets ($200) and inviting 7 friends to join you for dinner!

WHAT IS THE “CHURCH COUNCIL”?

In order to help communicate the way Newnan FUMC is

organized for ministry, we have scheduled two informational sessions on the

Church Council.

The Council replaces the old “Administrative Board/Council on Ministries” model previously

used in United Methodist congregations. At these informational sessions, we will help

explain the new model and how it functions specifically here at Newnan FUMC.

The sessions will be held Wednesday, October 21 @ 6:30pm and Sunday, October 25 @ 12:00pm in the Gathering Room (these sessions will be exactly the same, so there is

no need to attend both).

MINISTRY POSITION

The church is currently seeking a qualified candidate for the position of Children’s Minister. If you know of anyone who may be interested in

applying please contact the Senior Pastor, Dr. Stuart Greene. This is a full-time position.

Resumes should be sent to [email protected]
