Annual Conference Session June 9-11, 2016

MISSION COLLECTION
We invite you to join us in supporting our United Methodist Disaster Response work by bringing bulk items for UMCOR Health Kits to the 2016 Gathering of United Methodist Churches in Indiana. The items will be collected in the display area and will be placed on a truck for Midwest Mission Distribution Center at the end of the Gathering.
Each district has been given a suggested item from the health kit list to donate. Our goal is to collect enough items that MMDC can build at least 500 kits, which means we would love to see each district bring 500 of their assigned item. In addition, we will be accepting monetary donations to cover the $1 cost of toothpaste and the $1 per kit shipping cost.
In order to reach our goal of gathering supplies for 500 kits, we hope that your church will provide support by bringing 20 of your assigned item. If that sounds like too much, think about bringing 10 or even just 5 of your district's item. When we all work together in even a small way,we have the ability to be hope for least 500 people around the world by offering much needed supplies in times of hardship.
The West District has been asked to participate by collecting bath-size bars of soap (3 oz. or larger, please keep in original packaging - no Ivory or Jergens soap due to moisture content). Collect all you can, and bring your donations to Annual Conference. Questions? Contact Allison Curts at allison.curts@inumc.org.
