Flood Buckets and Shoeboxes!

A Big Thank You to all who helped participate in missions and outreach the last couple of months. You completed 13 flood buckets to send to our sisters and brothers in need all over the country. They came at a much needed time. The youth have already taken them to the United Methodist Mission Resource Center to be shipped out. You also collected 7 shoeboxes for the United Methodist Mission, Project Agape. Those Christmas gifts will be shipped out this week and sent to our friends in Armenia!
Thanks for helping Transform the World!

Urgent Prayers Needed...

A friend of mine has asked for our prayers. Her 24 year old brother was in a bad accident in Denver early yesterday morning. I have helped her create a caring bridge site. Please read his story and pray for their family.
