Jersey Shore Bahamas Mission Team Fundraiser 2010

Congratulations! You've Been Flocked!

That's the greeting you'll find attached to the neck of a pink flamingo residing for the day on your lawn along with the rest of his flock. The good-natured "flocking" is a fund-raiser for the Jersey Shore Bahamas Mission Team, which includes St. Paul's own Sean H.

If you would like to share the flock with another "victim," you merely make a donation of $10-$20 to the team. Although removal of the tropical beauties will be done the next day at no charge, your small donation would help the cause.

Joy Phillips Memo for May-June 2009

Joy's May/June 2009 Memo

Mango Ministries has gotten off to a great start! I'm thrilled to be back in East Africa again and am busy developing Mango Ministries. I've not been too busy, though, as I take frequent rests for continued back healing. Those breaks are actually a great time to think, pray, dream, and listen to what God is saying.

New Foutain of Life Letter - Feb 2010

LETTER FROM NORRIS
NEW FOUNTAIN OF LIFE

Ruth and I have decided to give up the construction part of our mission. We will see that members of the Board continue the evangelism part of the mission. The food kitchen will still be supported, and evangelist Elias Patoni will be supplied with bibles to help in starting up new churches throughout Mexico. The funds needed to support these activities is much less than before so we are requesting that New Fountain of Life be removed from the budget, and any special funds. Our monthly donations are, at this time, sufficient to supply the mission. Our feeling is that funds for missions should be used, and we know there are plenty of needy missions.

Communion Offering - December 2009

December Communion Offering
UNITED METHODIST HOMES

The communion offering for December will support the United Methodist Homes.

In 1907, a committee of women appointed by the New Brunswick District Preachers corresponded with pastors and members of the Methodist Episcopal churches of Monmouth County about the importance of establishing a home for the aged. In response to this need, a single home at 63 Clark Avenue, Ocean Grove, was purchased, and it became the first home in the United Methodist Homes system.

Episcopal Fund (09/2009)

SEPTEMBER COMMUNION OFFERING

The Episcopal Fund supplies United Methodist bishops worldwide with much-needed support. Bishops have a very special role as they are elected and consecrated to speak to the church and from the church into the world. Bishops are called by God from many settings and bring to the church "..varieties of gifts... the same Spirit... varieties of service... varieties of activities... the same God" (1Corinthians 12:4-6, NRSV). Their role is both practical and visionary since bishops oversee and promote the church's spiritual and temporal interests.

Communion Offering for June 2009

STEP OF FAITH MINISTRY

The communion offering for June will go towards program and outreach support for Step of Faith Ministry. The following is an update from Bob Hager: "I would like to thank all of you for what God is doing thru St. Paul's Church, it is great to see God at work in his people."

Campus Crusades

The communion offering for February will go towards salary support for Ed and Christy Hanna and their ministry with Campus Crusades at Penn State. The vision statement of Campus Crusades for Christ International is “Helping to build spiritual movements everywhere so everyone knows someone who truly follows Jesus Christ.” Ed and Christy send their love to the congregation of Saint Paul’s: “We are so thankful for everyone at St. Paul's and their support and encouragement for our ministry. We trust your communion offering will have an eternal impact on students’ lives. Thanks again. We hope to see you soon.” If you should have any questions regarding this ministry or any other mission, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Greetings from Joy Phillips

I wanted to publish a new entry to my blog with a nice newsy update, but that's not happening. It's after 10 pm and I've got to get up early so I'm going to send out an email update instead.

The past 10 days have been exhilarating and busy. My WGM colleagues from Uganda, Billy and Joanna Coppedge and their 2 little girls, arrived in Nairobi two weekends ago. After acclimating to a cool Nairobi we took off last Monday morning for Tenwek. The Mango Ministries team gathered together, including families, for a welcome lunch. Right now our small team consists of Billy, Joanna, Reuben Kirui, Joseah Sang and myself. We were even invited to a home meeting at one of the missionaries homes to share about our work in Sudan that evening.

Fisher House

Fisher House Foundation, Inc. was founded by Elizabeth and Zachery Fisher in 1990 with a personal donation of more than $20 million to begin the construction of "comfort homes" for families of hospitalized military personnel. "A Fisher House is 'a home away from home' for families of patients receiving medical care at major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful time-during the hospitalization for unexpected illnesses, diseases or injuries. The Fisher House program ensures families that they are provided with the comforts of home in a supportive and caring environment. There is no charge for any family to stay at a Fisher House."

Letter from New Fountain of Life - May 2009

Letter from New Fountain of Life

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

We are finishing up projects in Mexico. No More work teams coming. Weather has been hot - in the 90s all this week. Glad projects left are inside. It's been a great 6 months of accomplishments. People coming to the Lord are increasing and we were able to give bibles to all of them. We are feeding 50 plus kids a day on summer days, and 20 to 30 when school is out.

We are looking forward to returning soon. The Lord bless you all, as you bless others.

From all at New Fountain of Life, Love in Christ,

Norris and Ruth Blair
