We also invite your youth (from 7th-12th grades) to join us

place for students with musical, theatrical, and artistic gifts to learn how
they can use these gifts in worship. The camp runs from 10 am - 2 pm. Join us
Friday at 6 for a special worship service to see the work these students have
put into their experience. The cost for this event is $25.
Attached to this email are fliers that you may put up in your church. If you have any student interested in participating in either event, please let me know! We hope to see you this summer! -Katie Brock 843-766-1621

Untitled Post
We are all stunned by the magnitude of the damage and loss of life resulting from the tremendous tornado that struck Moore, OK yesterday. And, of course, there were more tornados in the two days previous, and there are more predicted for today, both in the Midwest and in Texas. Undoubtedly, questions are already being asked in your districts as to how we can respond. Attached is a message from my counterpart in the Oklahoma Conference, Richard Norman. It gives good information, both as to what we can do and what we should not do.
Richard's directions were for the churches in the OK Conference. In addition to sending money to that conference directly, we should also consider sending funds to the advance for UMCOR US Disaster Response, #901670. Also, people can text 80888 from a cell phone to make an automatic $10 donation for UMCOR. These donations will be undesignated and will be used by UMCOR where most needed..
I will be sending other information as it becomes available. For now, prayer and donations are most needed. However, you can also start now motivating your local church members to be thinking about forming UMVIM teams for long term recovery. Undoubtedly, there are families whose homes are damaged, if not destroyed, that are underinsured or without insurance that will need help to rebuilt.
Shalom, George |
