178. MissionCast – Fair Trade Market – Manchester UMC

KelleeThrough the direction of Kellee Sikes, Manchester United Methodist Church, is currently sponsoring the largest fair trade market in the country.  In this MissionCast Kellee tells why it would be great if more and more churches would sponsor fair trade markets.  Any church large or small can do so.  To offer encouragement Kellee is offering a $500 reward to the congregation that sponsors a market for the first time and raises the most money per capita for their church membership.  A second $500 award will go to the congregation that uses the most volunteers per capita in their market.  Kellee received the Social Justice Ministries award at the 2010 Missouri Annual Conference, in Springfield, in June.

175. MissionCast – Outreach Mission Store – Bell City UMC

Born Again Mission Store – Bell City United Methodist Church
mission store

From the Bell City UMC website:  The name of the store reflects both who we are and what we do.  The mission store was “born” through Bible studies and Visioning Team meetings at Bell City United Methodist Church.  The Church wants to continue to grow in local mission work and give back to the community, thus Born Again was created.The store accepts donated items.  Some of the items are new, some have been lovingly used, but as they find a new home, they are truly Born Again, just as we in our walk with God, are Born Again.The items in the store are sold at garage sale type prices and anyone can shop at Born Again.  All the proceeds from the sale of items in the store are put back into the United Methodist Women’s Mission Fund and those dollars are used locally to assist with utilities, groceries, medicine, and other needs we are made aware of.  Assistance is not based upon church membership at Bell City UMC or any other church, but upon the need of others for a helping hand during tough times.

The store is open every Monday and Thursday from 9am to 4pm and also on the first Saturday of every month with baked goods available on the Saturdays.  For information about how they started this ministry and for other questions about what they do email bcumc@cablerocket.com.
