Mission Committee

From Amy & Ryan McIntire:

Matthew 6:1-4

Be careful not to do your acts of righteousness before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Hi fellow class members!
Here is what we have lined up for mission work for the rest of the year; of course this is just an outline and if anyone hears of an opportunity to help others please jump in! Since it is pretty much already July, we have lined up our first project to be at the end of August/beginning of September. This will be to take dinners to the Studio 222. Julie Robinson has decided that when the children are there she wants to feed them as much as possible as many of these kids don't eat at all unless at the studio. She also shared with us that the kids LOVE it when the people that donate come to visit, so we offered to help with both for one week (a week for them is Monday-Thursday.) And of course if anyone is ever available to drive the busses to pick up or drop off, they desperately need drivers. Ryan has driven one of the busses and says they are very nice and very easy to drive. In October/November we will begin to focus on helping folks for Christmas time. One thing we can do is help the homebound with ingredients for soup and gifts of yarn to the SLUMC knitting group. And of course we can always adopt a family again as well if we want to.
The Studio 222 golf tournament is August 18th and for those interested in playing and want to do a class team contact Ryan. $150/golfer and $600/team
Please give us feedback on what you would like and don't like about our plan.
