SUNDAY SCHOOL MATERIALS WANTED

Do you have new or used Sunday School materials, Christian books or magazines, daily devotionals, bibles, DVD's or CD's?  Are the cluttering up your shelves and running out of room?  We have all saved studies, devotionals, and Sunday school literature that is too good to throw away. Let's make Love Packages.  The MWD UM Men would like to help by picking up and delivering your new/used Christian materials for this mission project this September.

MEMBERSHIP CLIMBS IN GERMAN CHURCH

Metzingen United Methodist Church in Germany was defunct until a group of young leaders decided to launch a faith movement that is more relevant to a largely secular society. They transformed their vacant church building into a climbing gym and a place where people in the community can connect with one another.  Watch the video about how they are revolutionizing their approach to outreach!

EAST CONGO DISTRICT BUILDING CHURCHES/SCHOOLS

The Kisangani district has 100 local churches. Four churches are "durable" with roofs, walls and floors; three churches are semi-durable with roofs; and the rest are made from leaves and sticks woven together using the trees and foliage surrounding them. Can you imagine your Sunday worship service being held under leaves and sticks?  Read the full story about how the United Methodist Church is working to help build more permanent, durable buildings.
