harambee

Youth from Beloved Community UMC, Normandy UMC, North Park UMC and Prince of Peace UMC attended the Harambee Youth Rally, held on the campus of Philander Smith College, in Little Rock, Arkansas.  Harambee actually means “all pull together” in Swahali.  Harambee is held every two years primarily for United Methodist African American youth.

In this MissionCast Courtney and Brittany Hunter from North Park United Methodist Church and Lauren Jackson from Normandy United Methodist Church shared some of their experiences at the 2011 Harambee.

The United Methodist Church of Green Trails was chosen to receive the 2011 Shalom House Community Impact Award in recognition of their partnership, investment, and hands-on service that positively impacts the lives of Shalom House residents and graduates.

The United Methodist Church of Green Trails chose Shalom House as the focus of its local missions.  Individuals within the congregation have been regularly involved in service at Shalom House in projects such as supporting residents with computer-based needs like resume building and job searching and preparing meals and a menu for food in the Emergency Shelter Program. Under the leadership of Pastor Nate Berneking, the United Methodist Church of Green Trails has helped provide a much-needed new roof and soon-to-be-installed enhanced security system to the “home” of our residents.  Girded in passion for the mission of Shalom House, The United Methodist Church of Green Trails has convened a covenantal partnership of 5 other area churches to improve Shalom House’s infrastructure in ways that will eliminate frequent needs from the agency and create better repeatable systems to support Shalom House women.

Joplin

For over 50 years the Manchester United Methodist Congregation has been making apple butter as a fundraiser to support outreach mission.  Of course there is also the yummy apple butter that is in demand every year as well.  This tradition has been kept alive as the congregation has changed from a small rural church to one of the Missouri Conference’s largest urban congregations.  MissionCast was on hand to bring you this stirring story.

The video and the audio for this MissionCast were captured on the tiny Canon PowerShot digital camera pictured here.  It is available for around $130.  We wanted to capture all of the material for this MissionCast on this camera to demonstrate just how far digital cameras have come and to encourage you to capture and share the mission events of your congregation.  There are members in every congregation no matter how big or small who have this kind of camera or much better ones in their possession already.

principal

We are grateful to the See family for inviting us into their home to learn about the need that many people have for organ donation.  Mike See has been on dialysis for a year now because of his kidney disease.  The dialysis takes 4 hours, 5 nights a week after both Mike and Joni have spent a full day at work.  The Missouri United Methodist congregation, in Columbia, was made aware of the need for a kidney donation and 5 members have stepped forward to offer one of their kidneys.  This MissionCast will be used as part of the sermon at Missouri UMC on National Organ Donor Sunday (2nd Sunday of November each year) and we offer it to your congregation to use on this special Sunday or on another Sunday that works for you.
