Youth Service Fund Offering for Costa Rica

This Sunday the youth will be taking up an offering for the Youth Service Fund. The Youth Service Fund is money raised by youth, distributed by youth, for the benefit of the youth. This year the offering is going to Resurrection Costa Rica. This event is going to be taking our Resurrection that the Holston Conference puts on for our youth to the next level. Resurrection Costa Rica will be for the youth of Costa Rica. The event will be during the week of October 7-14, 2019. While at Resurrection this past January, everyone got to hear some of the testimonies of the youth from Costa Rica. We even got to hear an amazing young lady share her amazing voice while singing “How Great Thou Art” in Spanish. The entire LeConte Center was standing in amazement. This is the same event the Holston Youth are trying to help put on in Costa Rica. The Costa Rica teams’ dedication, persistence, and dedication is something that has touched all of the lives of the Holston Conference Youth, and we would like to empower you to help us raise more money to make Resurrection Costa Rica a success. The youth of the Holston Conference have already raised $28,000. If you feel so led, the youth will be taking up the Youth Service Fund Offering on Sunday, March 24, 2019. Please stand with the youth of the Holston Conference and help us create Resurrection Costa Rica. To see video of Lindsey from Resurrection making the YSF announcement, click here .

Be In Prayer for Our Mexico Medical Mission Team

Each year the Mexico mission team travels to the south/central part of Mexico to small villages that are out in the country. From our church, Kim Cline, Hope Bruce and Lisa Teffeteller have been going for several years. IN the group there are doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, and lots of helpers. They have limited access to medical care and medicines. They are thrilled for any service we provide which includes: treating simple medical issues; checking blood sugars and urines; treating High blood pressure and diabetes, "bone pain", and acute illnesses. They are happy to get multiple vitamins, Tylenol and Ibuprofen since these are very expensive for them to buy. We also provide foot care and reading glasses to those who need them. We have lots of help from our Mexican helpers and would be lost without our translators Everyone is so gracious and neighborly. We try hard to follow in Christ's footsteps and show them how God loves them. We provide as many Spanish bibles as we can. They provide us smiles and love. It's is so rewarding every year.

Are you or someone you know living with dementia? Do you often ask why does she/he seem so confused, why does she/he repeat herself/himself, why can she/he not focus on a task, why does she/he get angry so easily, why can she/he not follow a simple command? If you have ever asked yourself one of these questions then you should attend a lunch and learn opportunity at Broadway United Methodist Church on April 1 from 12:00 to 1:00 pm to get these questions answered. Becky Martin MA CCC SLP/Certified Dementia Care Specialist will hold a 30-minute presentation with examples and demonstrations regarding why someone living with dementia acts the way they do. Time will be allowed for questions and answers following the presentation. Upcoming lunch and learn opportunities will focus on how to deal with these behaviors with use of learned compensatory strategies and community resources.

We will meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month beginning on May 14th. We will be alternating months, here and away. “Day In” will be a pot luck lunch at noon in the Fellowship Hall followed by a variety of programs to include speakers, seminars, game day, etc. In alternate months, “Day Out” will be a day bus excursion to one of the many events and attractions our area offers. These programs are open to all adults who are interested, so come and bring a friend.
