Welcome to the weekly update of the Rappahannock River District of the UMC
|

“What does the Lord require from you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” – Micah 6:8
The District Mission Team to El Salvador is diligently preparing for our upcoming mission trip. We are preparing to lead VBS for approximately 50 children to include skits with puppets, games, crafts, and music. Duolingo is our friend as we practice learning Bible verses and popular children’s songs in Spanish.
You might be asking,
“How can we support this mission?
” First, we ask you to pray for us as we prepare for this mission. Pray for our time of preparation as well as the people we will be in ministry with in El Salvador. Second, we are thankful for the financial support of our District Churches through the Mission Committee and Connectional Ministries as they have generously provided financial support for this trip. Thirdly, if you would like to provide financial support for supplies such as craft items for this trip, we encourage you to send a financial donation to the district office. Just make a check payable to the Rappahannock River District and mark "El Salvador Mission Trip" in the memo line. Mail to PO BOX 100, Ladysmith, VA 22501.
Blessings
Pastor Carol & Pastor Robin

On
Sunday, June 30, 2019,
the Rappahannock River District will be celebrating the transition of our District Superintendents. We invite you and your church to join us in this
Farewell, Welcome, and Installation Service
at Wright's Chapel UMC in Ladysmith at 3:00 pm.
Many of you have asked about a departing gift for Ted. We are asking churches and members who would like to recognize and honor Ted's leadership for the past eight years to make a donation to our El Salvador partnership. This mission is close to Ted's heart and will be a great send off. Checks may be mailed to the district office at PO BOX 100, Ladysmith, VA 22501 (made out to the district) with "In honor of Ted Smith" written in the memo line.
Blessings,
Terry & Dave
