UCUMC's 1st Annual Baby Shower on March 21 was a great success! Over 30 women attended and had a great time playing baby shower games, eating delicious food, and spending time in fellowship with other women.
Thanks to all who donated gifts - there were 2 large tables overflowing! All gifts were donated to Lois' Lodge, a non-profit organization in Charlotte whose mission is to provide a safe and healthy place for young women facing the challenges of a crisis pregnancy. Several representatives from Lois' Lodge attended the event and shared about their ministry.
Look for more details in early 2011 for the 2nd Annual Baby Shower!
