Please spread the word to your churches: All are invited to attend the shows - come out and support the campers! - The first performance will be at First UMC on Saturday, June 28 at 7:00pm.
- The second performance will be at St. John UMC during the evening worship on Sunday, June 29 at 6:30pm

 Relief-Supply Web Page
Replenishing UMCOR depot shelves to meet future emergency needs is always a concern, especially with hurricane season upon us.
Use the relief-kit content instructions on UMCOR's Relief-Supply web page to purchase the items needed to fill school kits, health kits, layette kits, bedding packs, and sewing kits. All are in demand right now.
You can also support this vital ministry with your gifts to Material Resources, Advance #901440, to enable UMCOR to purchase the necessary items for each relief-supply kit. |
 UMCom Video About Alaskan Samoans

 Native American Mother/Daughter Singing Duo "Sayani"
A Native American mother and daughter singing duo would like to come to Alaska and share their singing talents with us. They have already been invited to perform at New Hope Methodist-Presbyterian Church in North Pole but need more churches to perform at to make their trip up here cost effective. They do this full-time as their ministry and travel the world sharing their gift of music and Christian message.
To learn more about "Sayani," Jorie West and her daughter Christie West, you can go to their website at www.donajoe.com. Contact them at 817-757-2297 or Jorietx@aol.com if you are interested.
