The economic impact of Sept. 11 registered at the food pantry within a week. 
After Sept. 11, the October and November distributions hit an all- time peak of nearly 
70,000 meals. "The United Methodist Committee on Relief 
has been wonderful and totally essential to meet the increase and need 
in providing food," executive director Doreen Wohl says.

We are always praying for missionaries serving around the world. 
In this moment, we focus on reflections of missionaries serving 
in the United States. Among missionaries assigned by the General Board of 
Global Ministries of The United Methodist Church 
are many who serve in impoverished regions of the country and whose work, 
at this time of struggle throughout the country takes on even greater meaning.
