Missions
UPDATE:
WHERE IS GRACE IN THE
WORLD?
Members
of Grace Church are in mission! In recent month they have served
in China, Mexico, Kentucky, and in South Louisiana. In Mexico
they built a cinder-block home for a family that had been living in a
shack made of cardboard and plywood. In China they ministered in
a mobile medical clinic. In Kentucky they engaged in home repair
in the poorest section of Appalachia, and made repairs in the mission
school. In South Louisiana three different teams cleaned and
repaired homes damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Another
team worked at the United Methodist Committee on Relief Depot
assembling flood buckets and health kits that will be sent all over the
world. Most recently a team of nine members served from Friday
through Saturday at Swanson Youth Center (formerly LTI) in Monroe with
Epiphany Ministry offering a spiritual life retreat to youth
incarcerated there.

Soup
labels help to purchase
vehicles
|
| See what our soup
labels can do! In this recent update from Red Bird Mission, we received
good news: “Since 1989, Red Bird Mission has acquired 14 full size vans
and two minivans through the Campbell Label Program. All of the
vehicles
are still in operation helping in ministry. Enough labels have been
collected
to order two more minivans in 2002.” So keep those labels coming — the
collection box is by the door in the education wing. |
