Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and love is in the air! To celebrate, the United Methodist Women (UMW) of First Church are reaching out to our community with “Intentional Acts of Love.” This week from February 8 – 14, each woman will show God’s love through unexpected and creative ways — to the surprise and delight of a neighbor, friend, family member, or complete stranger. “Valentine’s Day and the days leading up to it provide the perfect opportunity to serve others in extravagant or simple ways as we all share Christ’s love!” exclaims Dorothy Hudson, President of UMW. Lots of love to our UMW for this and all the ways these special women find to “go out to be God’s people in the world” — this Valentine’s week and beyond!
