Prayers Requests
As United Methodists,
we were called by
Bishop Gary Mueller
during the month of
February to focus our
prayers on Spiritual
Revival. On Saturday, February 25,
Goddard UMC held a prayer vigil
during the hours of 9 am—2 pm in
Young Hall. The host for the vigil was
the Goddard Discipleship Ministry
Team. Elizabeth Eubanks was the prayer
vigil coordinator. The greeters were:
Barbara Kennedy, Geri Reeves, Frankie
and Jeff Allred, Deanna Friedman, Linda
Porter, Betty Forrest, Jean Woodward,
Susan and Ken Pate, Rick and Betty
Bodine, Betty Morkemo, and Lynne and
Jon Gustafson. Refreshments were
provided by the UM Women and UM

Thank you to all who participated. Going

spiritual revival.

The Community Rescue Mission
The Community Rescue Mission, located at 4th and F Street, phone 479-782-1443, partners with area churches to meet spiritual and physical needs by providing meals, a place to stay, and church services. Last year, 1,147 clients checked in for 16,273 nights of shelter and 43,354 meals were served. Until I became associated with the Mission, I was not aware of the extent of the need in our community. Please be in prayer for the homeless and those that work to help them.
Thanks,
Harry Tommey

Our Goddard Food Pantry helped 638 people during the month of January. Thank you to those of
you who donated cloth bags for us to give to people who were walking to the pantry and then walking
back home. I wish you could have seen the smile on their faces when they realized how much easier
it would be for them to get home with the groceries. Sometimes it is the little things we do not think
about that are a big help to the persons who need our help the most.
Thank you to one of our Goddard members for donating some warm coats that we gave to some
children this past month. We also want to thank one of our church members who brought gloves
and sock caps. What a blessing your gifts were!
Thank you to Betty and Vic Campbell for bringing us a box
of hand soap to add to our pantry sacks last week.
Most of all, our continued thanks to each of you who continue to serve in our Food Pantry Ministry
and those of you who continue to donate funds to keep our Pantry doors open. “...For I was hungry
and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink...I tell you the
truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me…”
From Matthew 25:35-40

Eating for a Healthy Colon The focus this month for a message
and reminder concerning our health is
how a healthy diet can protect against
colon disorders.
My father always said “you are what
you eat” and the older I get the more I see
how true this really is. Although it can
sometimes be hard to follow all dietary
rules for good health, it is never too late or
too early to begin. Just as diet can have a
positive or negative impact on heart, brain
and bone health, your colons overall
health can be affected by what you eat.
The colon is a crucial part of the
digestive system, and many different
conditions can cause it to work
improperly. Some of these include
inflammatory bowel disease such as
ulcerative colitis and crohn’s disease;
diverticular disease; irritable bowel
syndrome and colorectal cancer.
Treatment for these conditions
includes diet and lifestyle modifications,
medications and/or surgery.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most
serious colon diseases. It’s the third most
common cancer and the third deadliest
cancer in the U.S. Risk factors for colon
cancer over the age of 50. The risks
include family history, previous polyps;
inflammatory bowel disease; smoking and
heavy alcohol use. A strong correlation of
obesity combined with the above factors
adds additional risk.
The American Cancer Society
reports that the links between diet, weight,
exercise and colorectal cancer risk are
some of the strongest for any type of
cancer. Fewer than 10% of colon cancers
are hereditary, which means a lot of it is
our lifestyle. Therefore, good nutrition is
an important aspect of good colon health.
To help promote colon health follow
these five diet recommendations:
1. Limit red meat consumption and
steer clear of processed meats.
2. Hold the sugar (contributes
to weight gain).
3. Up your fiber intake.
4. Drink your milk.
5. Choose grains wisely (whole gains
are better).
While eating healthy can keep your
colon happy, the most powerful way to
prevent is through screening as discussed
and scheduled through your personal
physician.
Thank you.

Thank you, Goddard United Methodist
Women, for providing food for our Goddard
Spiritual Revival Prayer Vigil on Feb. 25.
Our circles are actively involved in doing so
many helpful things for our church, for our
neighbors, and for missions across our country and
the world. They are taking this “Inside-Out Thing”
seriously!
What’s up next for our UMW? So glad you
asked. One circle has been involved in some art
work recently (with the help of the talented Vickie
Anderson), and now they are planning on making
small flower pots to plant and give to our neighbors
across the street from our church. All 4 of our
circles will continue with their mission focus,
including gathering supplies for UMCOR and the
Ronald McDonald Family Rooms, filling Easter
Eggs for the Children’s Easter Egg Hunt, and we
have begun planning for UMW Sunday to be held
on April 23.
Several of us will be attending the NW District
Spiritual Growth Study, “The Bible and Human
Sexuality” on April 8. There is still time for you to
register to attend. Please let Elizabeth Eubanks
know. This study will be held in Russellville.
Oh what a blessing it is to be a part of
Goddard United Methodist Women!
