Pray and Help for Haiti

Jan 23 |00:12
Last Updated on Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:27

For now we have two ways to share the suffering of the people of Haiti.

1. Please make monetary donations. Right now it is the most effective way to help. You can visit www.umc.org/haiti to make a direct donation to the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). 100% of your donation goes directly to relief effort as the administrative costs are shared by United Methodist churches in the world including FUMC.  UMCOR was in Haiti long before the earthquake. Two United Methodist mission officers have died in Haiti as a result of the earthquake.

You can make the donation to FUMC.  Please label your donation "Haiti Relief" so that it gets credited properly.

2. Come and make Health Kits with us. Health kits are the most basic and needed items.  UMCOR requests that the following NEW items be placed in a sealed one-gallon plastic bag.

  • 1 hand towel (15” x 25” up to 17” x 27”. No kitchen towels.)
  • 1 washcloth
  • 1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
  • 1 nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers)
  • 1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
  • 1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper, no child-size brushes)
  • 6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
  • $1.00 to purchase toothpaste

    • We will be making Health Kits each Sunday after worship. You can make your own kits or donate above items. Invite your neighbor/co-workers/families for this effort! 

     

     

    Life-Giving Relationships - With Jesus and Others

    Looking for something more out of organized religion? Tired of the hypocrisy and finger-pointing?

    Come and join a diverse community of believers focused on developing life-giving relationships with Jesus and with each other.

    Participate in a church that takes action in our local community through programs targeted at the homeless, the youth, and senior citizens.

    Church isn't a noun; it's a verb: it isn't a place where we go, but something that we do. Come join an environment where questions are welcomed, and being a Christian is something real. Come re-think church with us.
