It’s official now; I just booked my travel reservations for the Pilgrimage for Spiritual Renewal to Korea for October 16 – 25th, 2014. I am looking forward to traveling with our Bishop, Young Jin Cho and the other clergy participants from the Virginia Conference.
Thanks to everyone for their generous support enabling me to be a part of this spiritual experience. I look forward to what I will learn from the Lord and from our sisters and brothers in Korea.
Please keep my ministry in your prayers as we finish the work this week necessary for recording Hymned in by Grace this fall. If you would like to support that work, share your donations with Norman directly or send it c/o Norman Ramsey Ministries, 2501 Caliber Drive, Henrico, VA 23231 or give through PayPal to reverendnorm@msn.com. Thank you so much.
A big “Thank you” goes out to those who have already contributed to supporting Norman and the mission opportunity of accompanying our Bishop Young Jin Cho on a Pilgrimage for Spiritual Renewal to Korea this October 16 – 25. The only expense of the trip is airfare which if purchased before July 8th is $1300. (After that, $1400). Today, Norman is halfway towards reaching that immediate goal.
Also, thank you to those who are supporting the ministry opportunity of recording again this November. Norman is headed to Tate Music Group in Mustang Oklahoma to record the first Hymned in by Grace project. The cost of travel and expenses is $700. We still have the majority of that to raise. If you would like to make a contribution you may do so directly to Norman (preferably before July 8th), or send your support c/o Norman Ramsey Ministries, 2501 Caliber Drive, Henrico, VA 23231 or go online to donate at https://www.paypal.com/us/home. Click on the SEND tab and type in reverendnorm@msn.com, enter the amount of your donation, and designate it as a gift for family and friends. You can also support these mission and ministry opportunities by ordering any of the books or music Norman Ramsey Ministries provides.
Thank you very much for your support. All donations received above $2,000 will go towards the Laurel Hill Medical Mission to Honduras 2015 and the Norman Ramsey Ministries’ Teaching Mission to Sierra Leone 2015.
Tonight, we welcome Nury Janania to Laurel Hill! Nury is the Honduran Director at Friends of Barnabas and she will be here from 6:30 PM until 8:00 PM for a reception and a time of sharing about the ministry of Friends of Barnabas. Come and meet this remarkable Christian disciple tonoight (Friday, November 22nd) at Laurel Hill United Methodist Church, 1919 New Market Rd (Route 5), Henrico, VA 23231.
Also, check out this Sunday’s bulletin and come ready to worship the Lord with us!
Phil Deane reported that the team from Laurel Hill UMC fed 196 people today and just had enough food. The crew really worked well together. Those who went downtown were Billy & Judy Walker, Theresa and David Duke, Patrice Moore, Gail Dagenhart, and Phil Deane. Thanks go out to David Ogburn for organizing things and to Barbara Wendel for picking up the food and supplies.
If you would like to be a part of this vital ministry, our homeless feeding ministry takes place every time there is a fifth Tuesday in the month. The next opportunity to serve is April 30th!
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…
