A huge round of applause and great thanks for your response in putting together kits for Haiti!!!
The truck carrying Nebraska's kits arrived a little after 4:30 pm yesterday and was able to take everything that Iowa collected and brought to Epworth UMC. Please remember to pray for safe travels for the driver who has donated his time to get our kits to UMCOR Sager Brown.
Yesterday alone, Iowa sent:
4,331 Health Kits
146 Layette Kits
50 School Bags
+ miscellaneous items such as extra band aids, wash cloths, etc.
Please watch for more updates to follow. God Bless You for your generosity!
Great thanks to Upworth UMC, Des Moines for allowing the kits to be collected there. |

Circles of Support
Circles of Support is an aspect of the Beyond Welfare movement started in Ames, Iowa. It began as a support system for people who wanted to work their way out of poverty. It is now spreading all over the United States. In Washington County it meets at the Washington United Methodist Church on the third Monday of each month at 5:30-7:30 PM. Participants include people who have been or are in poverty as well as those who have never been in poverty. Poverty includes poverty of friends, meaning and money. Together we make friends on purpose and support and encourage each other. Every meeting is a free supper with free child care. We leave feeling uplifted! Contact Jon Coon and Annette Craig for further information. |
