Supporting the Ministry of Christ Among Native People

As a member of The United Methodist Church, your gift, on this day, equips Native congregations—like New York’s Onondaga Nation UMC and Nebraska’s Native American Sacred Winds congregation—to worship and serve as only they can.

This work, and hundreds of other ministries, are possible because you give.

Our Giving Allows Native Americans to Encounter, Worship and Serve Jesus

When you support Native American Ministries Sunday, you equip seminary students who will honor and celebrate Native American culture in their ministries. And you empower congregations that are finding fresh new ways to minister to their communities with the love of Christ.

ENJOYING THE NOW!!!!!

The head of a big company saw a fisherman sitting idly by his boat and asked why he wasn't fishing. The man said that he'd caught enough. The businessman said, "Why don't you catch more?" The fisherman said, "Why?" The businessman said, "You could buy a bigger boat, fish deeper, have more boats, and make more money." The fisherman said, "Then what would I do?" The businessman said, "You could sit down and enjoy life." The fisherman responded, "What do you think I'm doing now?"

A GREAT ENDING…..

THIS CAME FROM A BAPTIST PREACHER FRIEND OF MINE DR. LYNN JONES:

Bro. Huey Woods was one of my favorite Methodist preachers. He once told about a Baptist preacher who was invited to preach at a Methodist church. It was a very hot day, and there was a glass of water on the pulpit, so, as he preached, the preacher would take a drink of water from the glass every few minutes. When he had finally finished his sermon, he asked the Methodist pastor if he had anything to say. The pastor said, "Well, we were going to have a baptism, but you've drunk our baptistry dry."

 

SUNDAY WE WILL DEDICATE THE 2015 LENTEN MISSION PROJECTS…IF YOU HAVE NOT MADE YOUR CONTRIBUTION THIS SUNDAY (MARCH 29) WILL BE A GREAT TIME TO CATCH UP!!!!

LIGHT UP THE CORNER WHERE YOU ARE!!!!

A woman told her pastor that she was giving up her job because she was being taunted and sneered at for being a Christian. Her pastor said, "I want to ask you something--Where are lights placed?" She said, "I suppose they are placed where it is dark." "Exactly", he said, "and maybe that is why God has placed you there to work. It is a dark place that needs you to shine as the light of God." The woman made a decision to stay there and the Lord used her to lead several women in that factory to Christ. -- If you find yourself in a dark place today, that's where the light is needed. Let your light shine today and see what God can do with it!
