The UMMen want to thank all those churches who help keep our truck on the road and encourage other churches to use this ministry as a mission in their church. We could not do the ministry we do without people like you.

Donations for the UMM Truck may be sent to the District Office clearly marked for this ministry or given directly to MWD UMM.

Apportionments... with Chuck Knows Church

In the United Methodist Church your gifts to your congregation impacts not only your local church's ministries, but mission and ministry around the world. Chuck explains a little about apportionments on this his SIXTIETH show! (Click on image to view.)

Town and Rural Resource Program invites you to:

The Changing Face of Town & Country Ministry:

MAKING IT WORK!

at two locations: Harmony UMC, Tiffin (EOC) &

Delta UMC, Delta (WOC)

Sat. March 8th, Tiffin

Sun. March 9th, Delta

The reality is-there has been a change in rural ministry in our lifetime. What worked previously, no long-er works today. It is important we understand these changes and their implications for ministry.
Rev. Ed Kail is an outstanding teacher and trainer with his focus on small membership churches, especially in the town & country and rural areas.
He has seen our denomination decline, and the way we think about God, the Church, and ourselves may be contributing to that decline-so is revitalization possible?

How many lives will your church save?

The West Ohio Conference has joined 45 other Annual Conferences who from across our denomination have come together to save lives by preventing needless deaths from malaria.
Our Conference goal is to save 350,000 lives over the next several years by raising 3.5 million dollars. Many churches have already made a commitment to saving lives through the Imagine No Malaria initiative. Thank you for those commitments; it's why we're almost half way to our goal today!
We invite you and your church to join the West Ohio effort in saving lives!
