Care

The maxim “When God closes a door, he opens a window” is evident in the transition of Finance Directors from Martie to Georgia. Georgia and her husband, Dennis, began attending worship at our church just before Easter this spring. Dennis’ job setting up radio transmission for the State Patrol moved them from the Milwaukee area to Wausau in 2021. Georgia is also working half-time in office administration for the Rothschild police department while finishing her bachelor’s degree in accounting. Georgia and Dennis live east of Wausau in the country with their dog and two cats, and they welcome our prayers for future children.

After trying out several churches, they decided First Wausau UMC was the best fit. Georgia’s grandfather had brought her to his UMC in Cedar Rapids, Iowa when she was young, and they both resonate with our theology and music. When Martie decided she needed to resign to move and take care of her parents, she immediately thought of Georgia’s accounting skills. There is a lot of specific training for our church software and protocols, and Georgia was willing to be trained by Martie. Georgia learned very quickly, and she is getting things more organized and efficient than ever in this 10-15 hour/week position. Georgia’s half-time job at the police station is during the same hours as our church office hours, so she will be coming in at other times. Please help welcome, thank, and pray for Georgia and Dennis. We are all grateful for God opening this window. Her contact info is: 414-419-6683 (preferred method) and email (soon to be activated) georgia@firstwausau.org.

 

Coffee Fellowship has once again become a special part of Sundays at church! We would like to thank everyone who has already volunteered to host this fall and winter. Mike and Liz Fischer, Coffee Fellowship Directors, are continuing to look for
volunteers to host 1 or more Sunday Coffee Fellowships after the 10 am service in the Parlor. It is a great way to interact socially with your church family, meet new members, celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. If you are interested, there is a
sign-up sheet on the serving table in the Parlor.

 

Please consider signing up to host (by yourself or with someone else). It is a great way to fellowship with your church family and provide an important service to others. Feel free to call us at 715/571-0489 with any questions.

 

The community dinner is a meaningful ministry where we are able to offer meals to anyone in the community.
 

We are offering boxed meals and handing them out in the parking lot of the First Presbyterian Church. If you want to get involved, we will be needing baked goods to add to the meal. Please contact Jen Johnson at 715-470-2527 and she will arrange a time to pick up any baked goods. Please also keep our dinner guests in your prayers.
Thank you!
