121. Caps for Kids – Northern Boulevard UMC

Caps for Kids

As the congregation gathered at Northern Boulevard United Methodist Church the communion rail was covered with love.  Love in the form of 113 warm woolen stocking caps knitted for Native American children by 96 year-old church member, Edna Doudney.  The stocking caps were dedicated to the glory of God by the congregation before they were boxed up to be sent off to be used by our Native American nations.  Edna can knit a cap a day when she feels like it.  She says that she knits almost every day.

119. A Doctor for the Earth – Creation Care

Creation Care

Dr. Matthew Sleeth was one of the persons our Missouri Conference Creation Care Committee wanted to speak at the recent 2009 Creation Care Conference.  That did not turn out to be possible so we are happy to bring to you this week Dr. Sleeth via this UMTV video. 
Dr. Sleeth, a former emergency room doctor, traded in his practice of saving lives in the hospital to saving the planet earth.  His book, Save the Planet is a deeply personal book with far-reaching ramifications for Christians and all those who take their devotion to God seriously.

We are thankful to UMTV, United Methodist Communications, for the use of this view.  If you are interested in more information about Creation Care in the Missouri Conference contact the Office of Creative Ministries at 573-474-7155 or marble@umocm.com and go to the Office of Creative Ministries website at http://www.umocm.com

118. The Gathering UMC Partners With Kingdom House

Garden

Is your congregation currently partnering with one or more of our United Methodist Oureach Agencies?  If not consider the kind of partnership that has developed between the Gathering United Methodist Church, in St. Louis, and Kingdom House.
Rev. Matt Miofsky tells MissionCast what a valuable partnership this can be.  His congregation decided to fully fund an emergency day care called ‘The Famiy Center” at Kingdom House.  Raising the $30,000 needed seemed a daunting task for a new congregation, but the money was raised in short order because members of the congregation could see that they were making a difference.  Matt emphasizes that more than the money the congregation wants to build a relationship with the ministry at Kingdom House and the community where their church is located.
For information about forming a partnership with Kingdom House you may contact Jennifer March, who serves as the director for development at Kingdom House. (314-421-0400 or jmarch@kingdomhouse.org)  To learn more about our ministry at Kingdom House visit their website at www.kingdomhouse.org.
You may also request a DVD with a short three minute video about each of our United Methodist Outreach Agencies by sending an email to Max Marble at marble@umocm.com or calling the Office of Creative Ministries at 573-474-7155.

117. Food for Body and Soul – Union Memorial UMC

Garden

If you have worshiped at Union Memorial United Methodist Church, in St. Louis, you know that their community is offered “passionate worship”  Currently the congregation is also offering “radical hospitality” to their community.  They have installed the lastest media equipment with screens in the sanctuary.  They are working on the church facilities to make them completely accessible and friendly.  And they are reaching out to the community in many ways including serving lunch four days a week and a huge breakfast on Sunday mornings.  That is where the garden comes in.  Like a few other churches in Missouri that have yards they are using them to grow food for the hungry.  The produce from the garden is used in their feeding program.  A second garden is planted for anyone from the community wanting fresh greens to come and pick as much as they want.  MissionCast brings this story of radical hospitality.
