WEST NASH UMC IS GOING TO THE WHIRLIGIG FESTIVAL
The Whirligig Festival is November 1 and 2, 2025. West Nash UMC will have a booth at the festival on both days. We will be selling tickets for a 28” Blackstone griddle/air fryer combo and a grill accessory kit. The drawing will take place on Sunday November 2 at 4:00 PM at the church booth.
Tickets are available in the church office for you to sell. The tickets are in bags of 25 tickets. Please sign out the tickets you take to sell and bring the portion of the ticket with the name and phone number back to the church office and place them in the sealed bucket. Give the money and any unsold tickets to Steffani in the church office or Laura Whitehead.
All proceeds will be held in safekeeping until after the drawing is held. This is a very easy fundraiser. We need everyone’s help to make this a successful fundraiser. We will also need people to work in the booth at the Whirligig Festival. Sign-up sheets are located on the bulletin board in the hall. This is an excellent opportunity for us to get involved with the community and to let them know what West Nash UMC has to offer. We will have information about the church, the Preschool, the Thrift Store, the Chicken Pie sales and the Pennsylvania trip available at the festival. If you have additional ideas or suggestions, please contact Laura Whitehead.

Lessons for Leaders
Whether you hold a leadership position at church or not, check out an article each week for ways to grow as a Christian leader and to contribute to the growth of others.
About the article: With limited resources of people, funds, and time, how can churches sort through ideas to discover the next step God is inviting them to take? Kenda Creasy Dean uses the “How-Now-Wow” exercise as a framework to sort and prioritize ideas. While “How” ideas are “moonshots,” “Now” ideas are easy-to-implement but with modest impact. “Wow” ideas are the sweet spot for transformative change.
