SUMMARY:Red Bird Information 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Red Bird Mission is a place where lives are changed. The lives of the residents are changed when volunteers show up to fix what’s broken or make improvements to their living situation. And the lives of the volunteers are changed when they see how their presence and willingness to serve can have such a huge impact on others. \nThis year’s trip to the Red Bird Mission will take place from July 16-22\, and we want you to be a part of the team! The trip is open to everyone 14 and over. Registrations and deposits are due by March 15. \nPastor Dave will host an information session on February 20 at 11:30 to answer your questions and begin to make plans for this year. You can attend online or in person. We hope to see you there! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Online

SUMMARY:United Methodist Student Day
DESCRIPTION:Education Opens Doors\nYour United Methodist Student Day Gift Can Open Them\nDo you remember the “good news” story from the Morehouse College commencement in May? The commencement speaker\, billionaire Robert F. Smith\, pledged that his family would pay off the $40 million student loans of all 396 graduating seniors. \nWouldn’t it be amazing if we were able to do something like that? What would it look like if\, as a church family\, we could help students graduate from college without the burden of overwhelming debt? On November 24\, United Methodist Student Day\, we have the opportunity to do exactly that. \nUnited Methodist Student Day is one of six Special Sundays when we receive an offering for a particular ministry through the denomination. On the last Sunday in November\, your gifts through this offering benefit students as they pursue opportunities in higher education. Your contribution will be joined with those of millions of other United Methodists to provide scholarships to deserving recipients. This offering has raised more than $400\,000 and helps more than 300 students a year. \nUM Student Day was first celebrated in 1940 when a college education could be attained for $450 annually. Today\, that same education costs an average of $23\,000 each year. We are invited to invest in young leaders by giving generously on United Methodist Student Day as part of our offering on November 24 or online umcgiving.org/giveUMSD. Please be in prayer with the students who are recipients of the education made possible through this special offering. Thank you!
