M EMBERSHIP

AND MISSIONS

Our campaign to bring people to Jesus here at Baughman is going great!

The Membership and Missions Committees have been working together to make the community aware of our presence here in New Cumberland, and to let them know what we have to offer them. We have created banners, yard signs, mail inserts and door hangers. We even have an ad on the first page of the New Cumberland and Lemoyne Life magazine. (see right) We are hoping that everyone will get involved by placing a yard sign either in your yard, or somewhere in your area. We continue to strive to meet the mission statement of the United Methodist church to Make Disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of theWorld!

This months Green Envelope is for the Baughman Care Fund. This fund is the Pastors discretionary fund used primarily for people who approach the church for short-term financial assistance .

Look at what has happened so far!

Our 2014 goal to bring in 250 guests is going strong! The number is now

174!

250

Great job church!

Continue to invite your friends and neighbors to come and experience the warmth that is Baughman Methodist Church. Invite them to come and experience the love of God here in our midst!

The countdown continues!

Childrens Mission Project May 2014

Each spring, the children of Baughman are invited to participate in a mission project to help others in the world. During the month of May, we will be collecting items to make Health Kits for Mission Central. Please encourage the children to participate in the purchase of items to fill the kits and begin to donate them starting May 4th. **YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY ALL THE ITEMS; BRING WHAT YOU CAN. **

Please see the instructions from Mission Central below!

Please read carefully.
Health kits provide basic necessities to people who have been forced to leave their homes because of human conflict or natural disaster. Health kits are also used as learning tools in personal hygiene, literacy, nutrition, and cooking classes. All items must be new. Do not wash any of the items as they will be considered used. Please remove all packaging except for nail clippers, toothbrush and soap. All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of situations.

Thank you! I would like to say Thank You to Mrs.Strickland for the beautiful altar flowers, and to Mrs. Miller for delivering them to our house. My mother really did appreciate them, she loved flowers. Also, thanks to all the people who kept us in thought and prayer. It was greatly appreciated. We will be celebrating her life at her home church on Wednesday with family and many of her lifelong friends. Bonnie Wolfe Thank You! Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers I received several weeks ago. The gift of remembrance is appreciated. Linda Olley Thank you for the gift of $200 to the General Board of Global Ministries through The Advance. We are pleased to share that 100 per cent of your contribution will support the missionary community. May God grant you a sense of hope and joy as you continue your support for mission.

HELP WANTED!

There are a few ladies in the church who have been FAITHFUL at helping when I call for assistance with a funeral luncheon held here at the church. I want to thank them, but Id also like to extend this ministry to anyone else who would avail themselves to help SET UP & SERVE a luncheon (approx. 2-4 hrs.) or to PROVIDE a donation of a baked good. If you find yourself looking for a way to be involved, consider helping out with this important ministry. It is one way of helping our families get through a difficult time.
