St. Andrew member Jeanie Blankenbaker,

who served on the national

United Methodist Volunteers in Mission staff,

received this message for us from

Sara and Dakin, our missionaries in Ecuador with the

Evangelical United Methodist Church of Ecuador

May God bless you in this new year.

We pray that in this new year we can work together so that everyone can find better days for health and well-being, especially for those who have fewer opportunities around the world. Today we pray and cry for the loss that so many families feel. We are united in grief, but we are also united in the hope and promises of new days.  

During this week we pray that God will bless the USA with peace, especially in this important week in the life of your country. We pray that violence of any kind will not have a place. All the churches of Ecuador are joined daily in prayer from home at 3 pm, and this week many will be naming you, your family and your church. 

New members will be received safely

this Sunday, January 24

during any of our worship services.

Contact Maxene today if you'd like to join

or to arrange for another date.
