A note from UMCOR about Iraq: 

     United Methodist Committee on Relief cooperating with other religious agencies is already involved with rebuilding the lives and support systems of the Iraqi people.  It will be a long and arduous process.  UMCOR is collecting funds for this long-term process.  You can give to this through checks to Central marked for UMCOR in Iraq.

Food Donations for UMOM: 

     The food barrel is out in the patio each Sunday morning.  Please place non-perishable foods in the barrel.

                MISSION PROGRAM OF CENTRAL UMC 
     Our mission is to make disciples for Jesus Christ. Jesus reached out to include everyone in the world.  He included especially the poor, the outcast and the oppressed. Jesus in so many ways took on the suffering and sorrows of all people, those who were rejected or had experienced discimination.
