Possible Metal for Roof Found

An anonymous blog reader may have a possible metal piece that we can have for our roof. We are excited and grateful at this possibility. We are hopeful that it will work out. Keep checking our blog for more details.

We were shocked when earlier this week metal scrap thieves stole a portion of our roof. Fortunately, the part of the building that it was stolen from is not usable. Nothing inside the building was damaged.

Still, it saddens me that a scrap metal thief would choose the ministry center of Hope for Healing.Org. The money to replace it would come from funds that would be used for rent, phone or the electricity bill. We are having an extremely difficult time in meeting those bills. Theft by a scrap metal thief only adds to our problems.

We are extremely grateful for any help we can get in procuring the possible metal for our roof. To the person who called, we hope you do still have the piece of metal in your shed. Thank you very, very much for thinking of us!

UMVIM Training Today at Bearden UMC

The Conference Connectional Ministries team together with the SEJ Conference of the UMC held a training at Bearden UMC. It was on mission team leadership. I have to say that this was an exceptional training. There was much in the way of questions and answers. The person leading the training took the time to be sure everyone had answers or knew where to look to find them.

One of the great things about attending the connectional trainings is getting to see people who don't ordinarily cross your paths. Most people know that I'm part of the Alaska Mission Team with Lafollette United Methodist Church. We're scheduled to leave in June. Today, I had the opportunity to meet and speak with 3 people who have been on this trail before me. Their insights were valuable and helped me feel supported.

Connectionalism isn't just one of the componets of the United Methodist Faith it is one of the best things about this denomination.

I can't wait to put my skills to use. But I will have to. Alaska is calling me first.
