May Communion Offering will be given to United Methodist Committee On Relief for US Disaster Response, UMCOR Advance #901670 (Tornadoes 2012). Families across the United States were affected by a rash of tornadoes at the end of February and beginning of March and some more recently. Those tornadoes brought destruction and loss of life to several states, including Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, and Ohio. UMCOR has responded with emergency grants to support relief efforts in Kentucky, Holston, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, and West Ohio annual conferences. Our support of this Advance helps affected communities rebuild and recover. Thank you for your generosity!

May Mission Prayer - Please lift up in prayer the people in Africa who are affected by malaria. For those who are sick with malaria, we pray that God will let them feel our love for them. We pray for God’s direction to lead us by the power of His Holy Spirit to help our brothers and sisters in Africa to overcome this deadly disease. In 2010, the people of the United Methodist Church launched an extraordinary effort called Imagine No Malaria, putting our faith into action to end preventable deaths by malaria in Africa. Using an integrated strategy against the disease, we are fighting malaria through prevention and medical treatment; improving infrastructure; outreach and education; and improving communication by upgrading communications networks. We add our prayers as part of this life-saving ministry and ask God’s blessing upon these efforts.
