Support a Missionary - This year we have chosen the Rev. Herber Zigbuo and his wife Mary for supplemental funds for their work in Liberia. They run the United Methodist Mission Station in Ganta which includes a school, hospital, leprosarium, nursing school and an agricultural program. We hope to raise $1200 which represents just $3 a member for this effort. We were very fortunate to have them visit us in July. Our slogan for this campaign is "Change makes a Difference" as we asked members for their loose change (bills worded too!). In February we had two missionaries talk to us about their work. One was from Joy-Southfield Health and Education Center which provides basic health care for individuals who cannot afford health care. The other speaker was Vince Facione (One of our own past members) who travels and recruits people for mission work with OMS International. In March we have our One Great Hour of Sharing offering which provides funds for all business related expenses so that all other giving can 100% go to missions. April and May we collected Mission kits for annual Conference. These kits vary from year to year between School Kits, Health Kits, Sewing Kits, and Layette Kits. This year we sent 96 Health kits to annual conference earmarked for Haiti. We also sent $92 for postage to ship the containers. In Octoberwe have the Crop Walk, UNICEF collection and the Heifer Project. In November we will have a Chili Cook-off for Haiti School Hot-Lunch Program and Liberia's Feeding of the Street Children. (Just a quarter will feed one child one lunch of rice and beans). Our Christmas Eve Collection will go to Baldwin Church in Detroit and the Red Bird Mission in Kentucky. And we focus on paying our apportionments ( A Portion Meant for Others) to the United Methodist General Church for all their mission work. This year of 2007 we will become a Spotlight Church as we complete our mission goals. Thanks to all our church members for their concerns, prayers and giving!!
