As we look to summer coming to a close and time to get back to regular business, we invite you to to our September General Meeting on Tuesday, September 7 at 10:00 a.m. in the Chapel.  It will be our special time for our Mission Study for the year.  Terry and/or Sue Raymond will lead us in the study which serves us as a way to "motivate, inform, and enrich our commitment to global ministry." (see www.gbgm-umc.org/umw for information about the study)  Further information will be forthcoming in the Source next month or contact me.

We begin our fall season with a breakfast and meeting September 12 at 07:30 am in the family life center. This will be a busy meeting. We encourage all members to attend.

Our annual golf tournament is rescheduled for October 6 at The Oaks Course in. Take I-20 East to exit 88. Right turn for two miles. Course is on the left. We will be playing best ball from the gold tees. Cost is $36 which does include a sandwich, chips and cold drink. Please bring cash as the pro shop does not accept checks.

Please form your groups and call or email me as soon as possible. Ladies are invited and expected.

Have you been looking for somewhere to play bridge? If you are interested in playing bridge once a month with other members of Embry Hills UMC, please contact Nan Glenn at (770) 934-1477. We will start in September and end in May. We typically meet the first Saturday of the month in the evening. When we have our initial meeting we can discuss changing the dates or times. You don't have to be a good player but we do have fun enjoying each others company and playing bridge.

At Embry Hills, the UMW does more than meet in small groups (called circles) once a month. We are passionately involved and working to make the lives of women, children, and youth better both locally and abroad. We are doing our best to live the 2010 UMW theme of “Faith, Hope, and Love in Action.” Beginning this month, we will share information about each of the mission projects that the UMW at Embry Hills supports, through active service work or financial contributions or both.
