The United Methodist  Church supports organ and tissue donation:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial\">We believe that organ transplantation and organ donation are acts of charity, agape love, and self-sacrifice. We recognize the life-giving benefits of organ and other tissue donation and encourage all people of faith to become organ and tissue donors as a part of their love and ministry to others in need. We urge that it be done in an environment of respect for deceased and living donors and for the benefit of the recipients, and following protocols that carefully prevent abuse to donors and their families.<br \/>\n<em><span style=\"font-family: Arial\">The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church, 2000<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial\">About National Donor Sabbath<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial\">Faith communities throughout the country will observe National Donor Sabbath during the second weekend of November. National Donor Sabbath helps to increase awareness of the critical need for organs and tissues and the miracle of transplantation. Religious leaders who participate in discussions of donation with their congregants can affirm that choosing to be an organ and tissue donor offers the opportunity to share the greatest blessing of all&#8211; the gift of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial\">This annual interfaith celebration of life stresses the importance of donation. Religious leaders who lead discussions of donation with their congregants affirm that choosing to be an organ and tissue donor offers the opportunity to share the greatest blessing of all &#8212; the gift of life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial\">As participation in National Donor Sabbath increases and more individuals become aware of donation, one message is repeated time and again: make a decision about being an organ and tissue donor, sign a donor card, indicate your wishes on your driver&#8217;s license, and tell your family. For a family who has lost a loved one and is considering donation, knowing the loved one&#8217;s wishes in advance helps provide assurance that the right decision is made.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial\">Find more information at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.momissioncast.com\/www.organdonor.gov\">www.organdonor.gov<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial\">To view this MissionCast click on the picture or on one of the links below:<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial\"><br \/>\n<a title=\"Medium\" href=\"http:\/\/momissioncast.com\/videos\/ep193_organ_donor_sunday_med.wmv\">Medium Resolution Video<\/a> (For DSL or Cable)<br \/>\n<a title=\"high\" href=\"http:\/\/momissioncast.com\/videos\/ep193_organ_donor_sunday_high.wmv\">High Resolution Video<\/a> (For DSL or Cable and especially for downloading to project on a screen)<br \/>\n<a title=\"higher\" href=\"http:\/\/momissioncast.com\/videos\/ep193_organ_donor_sunday_higher.wmv\">Higher Resolution Video<\/a> (Better quality viewing than high resolution)<br \/>\n<a title=\"Quicktime\" href=\"http:\/\/momissioncast.com\/videos\/ep193_organ_donor_sunday_quick_high.mov\">Quicktime Video<\/a> (for Mac users)<br \/>\nWatch on YouTube (click on picture)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial\"><br \/>\nAlso check out the list of MissionCasts at the right indexed by category.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial\">Instructions for downloading videos to your computer<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial\">:\u00c2\u00a0 Right click on one of the links above and select \u00e2\u20ac\u0153save link as\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153save file as\u00e2\u20ac\u009d then tell your computer where you want to save the file and click OK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial\">Sign up for a weekly MissionCast announcement by email.<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial\"><br \/>\nEarly every Monday morning we send an announcement about the content of the weekly MissionCast and information about future MissionCasts.
