Spaghetti Supper for Missions – March 22nd

spaghetti_meal-848 You are invited to join us this Saturday evening March 22nd, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., as Laurel Hill UMC hosts a Spaghetti Supper for the Honduras 2015 Mission Trip. Tickets are $8.00 for adults and $5 for children 3 – 12. All proceeds will go toward our next Mission Trip to Honduras in February 2015.

Church members are also encouraged to bring a dessert with you both for our shared eating pleasure and as a means of supporting the mission trip in case we have desserts folks could take home with them after supper.

IMG_1633 If you are interested in joining the team, please contact Cindy Funk, MG Funk or Lois Miller. The cost for each Team Member will be approximately $1800, and it will be the responsibility of team members to pay their way. Of course we will continue to have fund raisers to complete raising the $10,000 needed for medical supplies, and all funds raised over that amount will be used to assist team members with their individual payment. If you are interested, you will need to let us know by May 1st, along with a $100 deposit.

See you Saturday at supper regardless of whether you want to join the Mission Team or support its work. Come and enjoy a wonderful Spaghetti Supper!

Looking Forward to Mission & Ministry

As pastor of Laurel Hill United Methodist Church there is only one week left for donations towards our Mission Partnership with the MCV Medical Center Children’s Emergency Room.  Books, DVDs, and stuffed animals are all being received through this Sunday, October 28th.

Then, next week is full of outreach and service together.  Tuesday, October 30th a group from Laurel Hill will be Feeding the Homeless as part of the Caritas Ministry.  Wednesday, October 31st we’ll be hosting TRUNK OR TREAT for the children of our community and then Saturday, November 3rd we will have our Fall Mission Dinner & Auction.  You don’t want to miss any of these great opportunities for service.

But, as I think of these immediate opportunities I’m casting my eyes out into 2013.  The first week of January, Karen and I will be headed to Dunwoody, Georgia for the 2013 Congress on Evangelism and then sharing a week apart to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary.  Yes, I am already excited about that.

Then, in February 2013, I am joining a group from Laurel Hill UMC and the Friends of Barnabas Foundation for a medical mission to Honduras.  Please be in prayer for the saving work we will accomplish in Jesus’ name! Also, look for  the ways you can support those who will be involved with this mission trip.  More news on that, coming soon…
