Athletes

You may have missed a chance of a lifetime if you were not there at Sunrise United Methodist Church.  Indeed there were people standing, sitting and lying down in line as early as 5am for the church doors to open at 10am.  About 30 athletes from the metropolitan area drove to Sunrise United Methodist Church to give autographs in exchange for donations for our United Methodist Disaster Response ministry in Joplin and all across Missouri.  The main organizer of the event was associate pastor, Troy Merseal.

Admission was $20 for adults and $10 for youth and children.  For the admission fee you could get over 25 autographs of area athletes.  There was an extra ten dollar charge for certain celebrity autographs like those of the Cardinal’s Matt Holiday, Adam Wainwright and Skip Shumaker.  At one point the autographs for these athletes went up to $50 a piece.  People brought in pictures, baseball cards, helmets, bats, gloves, shirts, mascots and even little models of the players themselves.  Rev Jim Blue estimated that 90% of those making donations for disaster response were people from the community who were not attending Sunrise United Methodist Church.  Or might we hopefully say not attending as yet.

183. LLD – Lay Leadership Development – Missouri Conference

LLD




Leadership Development or LLD is one of the new and wonderful ministries taking shape in the Missouri Conference.  It is a part of the Health Church Initiative and runs parallel to Pastoral Leadership Development or PLD.   Lay members in congregations where the pastor is engaged in Pastoral Leadership Development may engage most of the same materials that the pastor is studying. The goal is to form an effective lay-clergy team in the congregation to bring about change what will result in the most fruitful ministry.  In this MissionCast Brian Hammons, Missouri Conference Lay Leader, tells about this exciting program which is requested by more and more lay persons.
