PORT for 2004-2005

We already have our assigned dates for the 2004-2005 year of hosting the homeless.

Wednesday, December 29, 2004, dinner through Wednesday, January 5, 2005, breakfast
Wednesday, March 16, 2005, dinner through Wednesday, March 23, 2005, breakfast

Mark these dates on your calendar now and decide how you can work with us to provide for our guests. There are a lot of different jobs!

Put your faith to work and become the hands, feet and heart of God as we serve those less fortunate.

The Peninsula District Navajo Mission Team that we contribute to with part of our Lenten (Easter) Offering, will have a volunteer in mission member from First United Methodist Church, Newport News. Yes, one of our new members, Bob Kernell has asked to go and represent us in the field. He has promised to return with information and tell us all about his experiences.

After inquiring around church, it seems that we have not had anyone participating in the mission field from our church for many years. How exciting to have someone volunteering from FUMC and especially a new member.

Thank you, Bob, we are thrilled for you and for us.

There was a request for $4,500 for this year's Lenten Offering.

It was to go to:
Mission Support $2,500
Zimbabwe, Africa
(AIDS epidemic) 1,000
Peninsula District Mission
Team to "Four Corners"
Navajo Reservation 1,000

Thankfully, we received $5,225.30. That increase gave us funds to pay for Bob Kernell's mission trip and we can increase our contribution to Zimbabwe with the remainder of the overage.

Thank you, FUMC Faith Family. You are a great group.
