Haiti fundraiser Friends, I will be running the Myrtle Beach Half-Marathon on October 21 with Mike Penter, Melody Gildner, and Alex Clayton to raise money for Christian Haitian Orphan Development Professional Jeremie (CHODPJ). This orphanage in Jeremie, Haiti is home to approximately 50 children. For only $8000, we can feed these children for an entire year. Our team is running a combined 52 miles. Consider giving $1 per mile ($52), 5 dollars per mile ($260), or if you don't want to do the math, you can always just give a nice even amount like $2000. You can make checks out to First UMC and designate them for "Haiti Fund" or go to www.fumcmb.org and click on the give button and choose Haiti Fund. ~ Rev.

Big Tom s A Quote The greatest man in history had no servants, yet they called Him Master; He had no degree, yet they call him Teacher; He had no medicine, yet they called Him Healer; He had no army, yet Kings feared Him; He won no military battles, yet He conquered the World; He committed no crimes, yet they crucified Him, buried him in a tomb, yet He still lives today. His name is Jesus ~ Unknown A Big Thank You to my Church family for all you did for me on my 91st birthday. For all the cards, meals, calls, visits and especially your love. Thank you for so much.
