All Hands on Deck Last Weekend for On- and Off-site Service Projects, Tours |
Sometimes everything happens at once. Last weekend, Oct. 16-17, was a prime example, so our staff was in six locations for speaking engagements, PDKs, tours and rice packs.
Ramon headed to Ohio for Rice Meal packs at Medina UMC in Medina, Ohio and Ridgewood UMC in Parma, Ohio.
Chantel spoke at Glasford UMC in Glasford, IL on Sunday morning.
Cindy, Lisa and Brad were at Hope Church for their Saturday service and two Sunday services for Personal Dignity Kit assembly.
Barb and Hannah were on site for Personal Dignity Kit assembly with the Southside Christian Youth Retreat, Springfield, IL.
While it's always busy during the weeks and we have volunteers on campus, often times the weekends are also filled with opportunities to bless others. We are so grateful that we get to share in the various experiences, both on and off campus!

Bicycle & Sewing Machine Update |
|
Thanks to your generosity we now have a plentiful supply of electric sewing machines and bicycles needing repairs that will last until at least the end of the this year. We will be sure to let everyone know when our supply is low again. We do not have the space to continue to accept these items at this time.
We will continue to accept bicycles that do not need to be repaired and are currently rideable. We will always accept treadle sewing machines.
Do you have the skills that are required to repair bicycles and electric sewing machines? Would you be willing to volunteer at Midwest Mission? If so, please call our office and set up a day and time you would like to volunteer. Midwest Mission is a great place to volunteer!
