She compared the new church
work to a new born baby. “The
baby was born January 1st, 1978,

toward getting rid of the ‘Old

grow up strong and healthy. I
feel that women and mothers will
understand about changes that
have been made or may need to
be changed,” said Mrs. Boyd.
The Guidelines of the local
United Methodist Church were
very ably presented by the
following speakers: Mrs. W. M.
Eckhardt spoke on “Christian
personhood and what do we
mean by Supportive com-
munity.” Mrs. B. J. Reese gave a
topic on Christian Social
involvement.” She said, “The
purpose of United Methodist’
Women is the responsibility for
living out the mission of the
church through participating in
social action. Get involved, be a
