On Saturday we distributed a new blanket to each Food Pantry family thanks to your generous support. In these tough economic times, a gift of a warm blanket in the cold of winter is appreciated and hopefully will blanket each family with the love of Jesus.  All funds received for this project above the actual cost of the distributed blankets will be applied  a blanket project of UMCOR, helping in areas of the world where disaster has struck. Thank you for your very generous support!

FEB - Phone cards for military

Phone Cards is for our military serving overseas.  Each 120 minute phone card features the cross & flame of the United Methodist Church along with a statement that it is a gift of love from the people of the UM Church.

2010 ADVANCE Offerings

Jan. - April is for the Medicine Box Program. Many clinics and hospitals in third world countries do not have basic medicines available on a regular basis. Through UMCOR  medicine boxes provide necessary medication from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.  A typical medicine box contains 18 essential drugs and medical supplies-enough to treat illnesses and injuries  in a population of about a thousand people for three months.  A completed Medicine Box including antibiotics costs $500.  Our goal is $1,000 to provide two boxes for those in need. In the first 5 weeks we have received $199. towards this goal. Please continue to support this project. Many of these medicine boxes are being directed to Haiti thereby depleting the supplies on hand. Thank you.
