MISSIONS COMMITTEE UPDATE

Charlotte Rescue Mission-- This was our last dinner for the year, and we came close to running out of food, because the men enjoyed it so much. Served the same meal as last month with the addition of watermelon. Same great kitchen crew as before with the addition of John Bivens, a friend of Bill Heard. We thank all who helped and encourage everyone to join us next summer. They always look forward to our coming, and it is a wonderful experience.

Katrina Recovery Offering-- This offering will be collected until Aug. 29. Checks may be placed in the Mission Box at the entrance to the Sanctuary.

Urban Ministry -- is requesting used eye glasses, which can be prescription or not. There is a box on the table at the entrance to the Sanctuary where they can be placed.

Hope Haven-- We received a nice thank you letter from Hope Haven for the original donation we sent for the new washers. The UMW also sent a donation of $300. This is where we we take our Room In The Inn laundry each winter. If you still would like to donate, please give the check to Brenda with Hope Haven Washer on the "memo" line.

Crop Walk-- is Oct. 31st. There will be more information on the bulletin board in Sept. and we will be signing up walkers.

The next Mission Committee meeting will be held October 4 at 7:00pm in the library, and all are welcome to join us.

Prayer Opportunities:

Prayer Room: Our prayer room is open 24/7. The reason it is now open is the generous gift given that helped us purchase a numbered key lock for the door. To access the prayer room, simply call the church office & ask for the access code.

8:30 Sunday Morning: We meet in the library to pray for the services, Sunday school time and all the activities that take place during the day.

9:30 Sunday morning: We meet in the library to pray for the concerns and needs of the church.

Room In The Inn
For many years, Mouzon UMC has participated in this important volunteer-driven ministry which provides a safe, warm place for Charlotte's homeless to stay for one night a week during the harsh Winter months.

We provide a warm meal that evening, breakfast the next morning and a bag lunch, as well as some conversation and hope.

Samaritan's Purse / Operation Christmas Child
For many years we have filled about 200 shoe boxes and dedicated them on Thanksgiving Eve. Following the service, we deliver the shoe boxes and volunteer at the Operation Christmas Child warehouse.

NOW IN PROGRESS:
Loaves & Fishes

The "Loaves & Fishes" Food Drive is here. Drop off your filled bags in the Commons Area and Narthex.
