Dear Friends,
By now, you all know of the disaster that has hit our friends in the Pacific, Japan in particular.
From our friends at UMCOR:
“In response to the Earthquake on March 10, 2011 that struck Japan, The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) will be working with local communities to rebuild. UMCOR is now better able to help when earthquakes and tsunamis or other disasters hit the area. UMCOR works in shelter and infrastructure reconstruction, water and sanitation, income generation, health and nutrition, education and community development."
For the next few weeks, we will be taking a special offering to support the work of the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). Note in the memo line of your check or on the outside "UMCOR - Pacific Disaster." You may also go to UMCOR.org to find more information about this all and of UMCOR's work throughout the world.
Remember that through our support of the church in paying our apportionments, all of UMCOR's overhead is supplied, thus allowing 100% of all donations to this effort to go to directly to assist victims.
Grace and Peace,
Lamar
