Women met on March 13, 2019, with nine members and one guest present. The meeting opened by reciting the “Purpose.” Karen Berger read an article, “Practice the Presence of God.” Roll call was answered with a favorite way to relax.

Secretary Pat Ostrus read the minutes of the February meeting and they were approved as read. Treasurer Diane Denney gave the treasurer’s report and it was placed on file for audit.

Karen Berger gave the “Re-sponse” moment. She reported that the articles this month were focused on the 150th year of United Methodist Women and the history behind our organi-zation, including a timeline of United Methodist Women pre-decessor organizations.

Nova Wright read 2 Timothy 1:3-7 from the Prayer Calen-dar. Those to be remembered in our thoughts and prayers were named and joys shared.

Kathie Mailander gave a les-son based on “Happy Birthday, United Methodist Women” and introduced Judy Marnin, who presented a program about her trip to England and telling what she learned about John Wesley, who is regarded as the “Father of Methodism.”

Karen Berger gave the clos-ing prayer and adjourned the meeting with Micah 6:8. Kathie Mailander was hostess.
