From Carol Dickard, WMU Facilitator

Dear Ladies of the WMU:

Due to a serious injury, I will not be able to fulfill my duties as WMU representative of Pickens-Twelve Mile Association. However, I feel there are those of you who are ready to step in and guide the WMU for the next year or two. A small group of 4 or 5 that can lead our fall training and spring meetings as well as make sure the prisoner packets and ministry health kits are distributed is all that's needed.

Please search your hearts and pray for God's direction. If you feel led, let Connie know you will serve and she can let me know. I will give any volunteers all the help I can.

God bless you all! Carol Dickard
