JUMC Military Ministry Update

As we move into August we need to update you on what has been happening not only at JUMC but also at the Conference level. First, our July 4 packages have been sent. A big thank you to Sue Porr’s Sunday School class that made cards that were added to the packages. What a great way to say we love you!! We want to thank everyone for their support in making our service members feel that they are appreciated and that they are in our thoughts and prayers daily. Our next big project (not including the smaller ones) is preparing for a special Christmas package along with homemade cookies that are always looked forward to.

At the Conference level, Jaye White has been named as the BRAC Missions Developer Accountability Team Leader and I have been asked to serve on that team. Our mission is to coordinate the Sanford and Cumberland District’s efforts in providing information on how to attract new members to the United Methodist Churches within our two districts. More information will be distributed as we develop a mission statement along with ideas, projects and activities to accomplish our mission statement.

One event that is on the books is a free Billy Graham Association “ROCK THE FORT” concert to be held at Fort Bragg on Saturday, September 25. The United Methodist Church will have a tent set up at the concert so churches from both districts can distribute materials about their church along with keepsakes. More information will be forthcoming as we get nearer to the concert.

Please continue to pray for our service men and women and their families. As we move into our third year if you have any ideas, suggestions, or projects that you would like us to include in the future, please let me know (258-9136 or wolffglen@windstream.net) and I’ll pass the information to our team at our next meeting.

Grace and Peace to you all

Joe C.
