Easter Flowers

Look at what has happened so far!

Our 2014 goal to bring in 250 guests is going strong!

The number is now 174! Great job church! Continue to invite your friends and neighbors to come and experience the

warmth that is Baughman Methodist Church.

Invite them to come and experience the love of God here in our midst!

The countdown continues!

Our campaign to bring people to Jesus here at Baughman is going great!

The Membership and Missions Committees have been working together to make the community aware of our presence here in New Cumber-

land, and to let them know what we have to offer them. We have created banners, yard signs, mail inserts and door hangers. We even have an ad

on the first page of the New Cumberland and Lemoyne Life magazine. (see right)

We are hoping that everyone will get involved by placing a yard sign ei-ther in your yard, or somewhere in your area. We continue to strive to

meet the mission statement of the United Methodist church to

Make Disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World!

MARCH 2014 PAGE 9

Each spring, the children of Baughman are invited to participate in a mission project to help oth-ers in the world. During the month of May, we will be collecting items to make Health Kits for Mission Central. Please encourage the children to participate in the purchase of items to fill the kits and begin to donate them starting May 4th.

**YOU DON’T HAVE TO BUY ALL THE ITEMS; BRING WHAT YOU CAN. **

Please see the instructions from Mission Central below!

Please read carefully. Health kits provide basic necessities to people who have been forced to leave their homes because of human conflict or

natural disaster. Health kits are also used as learning tools in personal hygiene, literacy, nutrition, and cooking classes.

All items must be new. Do not wash any of the items as they will be considered used. Please remove all packaging ex-

cept for nail clippers, toothbrush and soap. All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest

number of situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is important that kits con-

tain only

the requested items—nothing more. DO NOT include any personal notes or additional materials in the kits.

These things must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.

ITEM QUANTITY NOTES

Good quality hand towel 1 Kitchen, cleaning, and microfiber towels are not accepta-

ble Cut and remove all tags. Please ensure towel is dry.

wash cloth 1 Adult size, no microfiber cloths please. Please ensure

wash cloth is dry.

comb 1

Please remove from packaging. Comb needs to be stur-dy; no pocket combs or picks, please; rattail combs and

combs without handles are acceptable

metal nail file OR clipper 1

DO NOT remove from packaging due to rust forming over time. Please do not remove UPC sticker—this

leaves a sticky residue.

bath size soap 1

3 oz. and larger sizes only; all brands acceptable except Ivory, Lisa, and Jergens soap. Do not remove from origi-

nal packaging.

ITEM QUANTITY NOTES

toothbrush 1

Adult size only; Do not remove from original package, which must be completely sealed (not taped shut) Dental

ads are ok.

adhesive bandages 6 3/4” to 1” width, common household band aids. Do not

use small or large band aids.

plastic bag 1 one-gallon size, sealable bags only

Please include $1.00 to purchase toothpaste.

Children’s Mission Project – May 2014

Thank you! I would like to say Thank You to Mrs.Strickland for the beautiful altar flowers, and to Mrs. Miller for delivering them to our house. My mother really did appreciate them, she loved flowers. Also, thanks to all the people who kept us in thought and prayer. It was greatly appreciated. We will be celebrat-ing her life at her home church on Wednesday with family and many of her life-long friends. Bonnie Wolfe

Thank You! Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers I received several weeks ago. The gift of remembrance is appreciated. Linda Olley

Thank you for the gift of $200 to the General Board of Global Ministries through The Advance. We are pleased to share that 100 per cent of your contri-bution will support the missionary community. May God grant you a sense of hope and joy as you continue your support for mission.

HELP WANTED! There are a few ladies in the church who have

been FAITHFUL at helping when I call for assistance with a funeral luncheon held here at the church. I want to thank them, but I’d al-so like to extend this ministry to anyone else who would avail them-selves to help SET UP & SERVE a luncheon (approx. 2-4 hrs.) or to PROVIDE a donation of a baked good. If you find yourself looking for a way to be involved, consider helping out with this important ministry. It is one way of helping our families get through a difficult time.
