United Methodist Women (UMW) will match contributions (up to $700) toward the purchase of new chairs
for the Fellowship Hall. Though typically UMW does not give money for the furnishings, building,
decorating, or other capital projects for the local church, our women have voted to contribute to the purchase of
new chairs to use for our number one means of raising funds for our missions....our Annual Tea P arty. UMW is
proud to be the mission arm of the church and happy to have the bulk of our funds go undesignated to 221
missions, including 100 in the United States and 121 in more than 100 countries elsewhere around the world.
We take Jesus' Great Commandment seriously: "Go ye therefore into all the world and preach the gospel."
Please help us raise money for mission and help our church by contributing toward the purchase of new
chairs for the Fellowship Hall. You can put your gift in the collection plate on Sunday morning in an envelope
marked UMW-Chair Project, or simply leave your gift at the church office designated UMW-Chair Project.
Liturgical Sacred Dance
The closing of our year for Liturgical Sacred Dance will be Wednesday, May 14, 2014.
We will begin again in July 2014. Liturgical Sacred Dance is open to ages 3 – Adult. A
love offering is taken once a month to offset the generous use of the sanctuary and the air
conditioning. For more information call Leslie Bennett at 305-394-3031.

Altar Flowers
The Flower Calendar for 2014 is ready for you! Please consider placing
flowers on the altar in memory of a loved one, in honor of someone or
something (such as a ministry or event), or to the Glory of God! Cost is
$20.00 per arrangement. There are still lots of Sundays open – so sign up!
The calendar is in the Narthex or contact the church office. Only two
bouquets per Sunday will be purchased.
Children’s Church
We have a great children’s church program here at Burton and I am so appreciative of the volunteers that give
their hearts and time to make it such a success. However, I am fearful that in time, they are going to get burned
out because there are so few. We are in need of people to step up and help with this vital ministry of Burton.
Crystal Sebben is looking for a few good men and women to help fill the team and help allow some of a
volunteers a much need break from having to be there every Sunday. If you are interested, please contact
Crystal at (305) 240-7170 or [email protected].
