Three cars in the parking lot were entered and items were stolen on Wednesday night. Please be careful about valuables in the church parking lot. Over the years we have had stuff stolen at night, in the daytime, as well as during funerals and other events. We have also had purses taken from time to time while left unattended in the building.
Here is an update on Dar and Betty Lundeen’s address:

UMCOR IN HAITI As of March 4, 2010
- $13.8 million has been received for UMCOR Haiti Relief
- Please remember that 100% of your gifts to the Haiti Emergency will support the people in Haiti. UMCOR can do this because overhead costs are covered through the One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS). This year’s OGHS offering is March 14.
CHILE: UMCOR RESPONDS TO 8.8 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE
After the strongest earthquake in the region in half a century struck central Chile early Saturday, February 27, UMCOR responded with an initial emergency grant to its partners in Chile to help them bring relief to survivors.
The $10,000 grant will help the Methodist Church of Chile (IMECH) and its relief arm, the Methodist Humanitarian Action Team (EMAH), conduct needs assessments and bring water and food to survivors.
Last October, UMCOR dispatched an international disaster response team to Chile to help the Methodist Church there prepare for natural and human-made catastrophes.
Bishop Joel Martinez, interim general secretary of the General Board of Global Ministries, called on “our generous United Methodist constituents to join in the response to the Chile Emergency Advance to strengthen UMCOR’s ability to be fully present with resources.”
Please send your contribution and mark Chile Emergency, UMCOR Advance #3021178 on the memo line. One hundred percent of gifts made to this advance will help the people of Chile
