WHERE DOES YOUR MISSION MONEY GO???
---by Sue McKay
As you know, one tenth of the Sunday offerings automatically comes to the Mission/Outreach Team here at New Leaf UMC. I thought you might want to know what that money is spent.
•Apportionments
•The book club which is headed up by Diana Lewis
•The Child Care Center
•The Friday night community dinners
•The L.E.A.F. Project
•Special events
•Shop with a Cop
•Shipping for Samaritan’s purse/shoe boxes
•School supplies
•The Christmas day dinners
•Special emergencies....if needed,
•The Mother/Daughter Dinner
•Buying the ''Upper Room'' subscriptions
Our three main goals are:
•To help the Child Care Center when needed:
•Continue the Friday night dinners:
buying in bulk, we can feed people for under $2 per plate. We invite the community and our church members to come and enjoy the fellowship and a good meal.
•And to help with the L.E.A.F. Project: which is a wonderful way to help the people in our community with the upkeep of their homes and to spread God's love.
The Mission/Outreach Team meets every month on the first Tuesday at 6 pm in the Hospitality Room. If you are interested in this outreach program, please feel free to stop by a meeting. Or you can contact team leader Sue McKay at retiredmckay@yahoo.com.
Thank you to everyone---you are all doing outreach.
