Thank you for your continued dedication and support.  Our income of $16,051.00 is $10,513.63 less than our budgetary needs.  Remember what Luke said to us: “Give and it will be given unto you.”  We ask that you prayerfully consider your support of the church to enable us to continue to spread the word of the Lord.  May God bless you as you share.

Text Box: Missionary Rick Jost found a simple way to make a difference - solar ovens! “Motivation for what we do is the crushing poverty in Haiti,” Rick said. “It brings many people to tears when they see how these people live.” Peace with Justice Sunday witnesses to God’s demand for a faithful, just, disarmed and secure world. Drinking dirty water and cooking over open fires - because one has no choice - are justice issues. By building and taking solar ovens to Haiti, Rick and other Text Box: United Methodists help poor families pasteurize drinking water and cook healthy meals in a safe environment. Established by the 1988 General Conference, Peace with Justice Sunday supports programs that advocate peace and justice at home and around the world. Since half of the offerings collected by your annual conference is retained to fund local peace with justice programs, you can see a difference made locally. In addition, half of the offering is remitted to the General Board of Church and Society to help fund U.S. and global work in social

 action, public-policy education and advocacy.

Together, we can work together for a faithful and loving world for all and bring hope for our future.

Peace with Justice Sunday
