What is Kid Junction?
It is a local mission provided by and operated through the
Galax First United Methodist Church on W. Center St. (across from the Fire Department).
It is funded by donations and staffed by volunteers.
It serves families with children (birth through middle school age)
once every four months if needed.
Each child in the family receives personal hygiene items: toothbrush, toothpaste,
body wash, a washcloth, diapers, wipes, lotion for babies, one set of clothing
(new or slightly used), underwear, shoes, socks, etc. at NO CHARGE!
Backpacks if needed and available.
It is open from 10:00-12 Noon on the 3rd Monday of each month.

“But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”
Hebrews 13:16 (NKJV)
HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
THANKSGIVING
Well, it is that time of year again! November brings Thanksgiving and the start of the Holiday Season. Before we know it we often get so caught up in our hectic schedules and holiday agendas that we really have time for nothing else.
I truly do not think that is what Thanksgiving should be about. Rather it should be a time to draw apart, a time to “be still” and know God, a time to share blessings with others. These things should be our aims and goals not just for Thanksgiving but also all through the year.
May I suggest a way to share your blessings and show your thankfulness? I would like to call this the “Adopt a Friend” method. This is a way for you to take personal responsibility for, and show interest in someone else. Maybe you know a shut-in who needs a ride to church, an elderly person, or nursing home resident who needs a visit, card, or phone call. A family that is grieving the loss of a loved one, a younger person who has a long term illness and needs to know that the church still cares or a new resident who may come to our church if they are shown a personal interest; in these and other ways your talents and your time can be used to share your blessings with someone else.
I think you will enjoy Thanksgiving and the holiday season a whole lot more if you share with those who need a friend. Try it and see.

UMW News – October 2016
October is fast approaching and will be a very busy month for our UMW. October 11 is our regular meeting day. Linda Burnette has our program and we will also install officers for the upcoming year On October 22 we will travel to Jordan’s Chapel for Wytheville District UMW Fall Annual Meeting. Let me know if you’d like to join us for that trip! Due to elections in November our UMW meeting has been changed to November 1.
We are getting things ready for the Angel Tree project since Christmas is just around the corner. More on that will be coming soon.
Mark your calendar for our UMW Sunday on Oct. 16th and plan to bring your favorite dish for our covered dish meal following the 11:00 service. We will provide meat, bread, and drinks. I’m sure you will want to hear our new district superintendent, Rev. Kim Goddard and to have the opportunity to meet her.
