Global Boards

Have you ever wondered what The United Methodist Church believes about justice?
Watch this video to learn about the United Methodist Social Creed passed by the 2008 General Conference of The United Methodist Church. The General Board of Church and Society (GBCS) is one of four international general program boards of The United Methodist Church. The General Board has headquarters on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. and at the Church Center for the United Nations in New York City. The General Board of Church and Society offers a variety of training opportunities and resource tools to help educate, empower and engage you in social justice ministries.

Thank You for Christmas Gifts !

From Memorial's Outreach Journey Group: Thank you all for the generous response to the Outreach for Christmas gifts. The residents of Anchor House (Our residential drug rehab facility in Brooklyn) again this year received individual gift packages of toiletry items (50 men and 20 women) as has been  our custom for many years.  This year an added gift was the inclusion of a hand knitted scarf, provided by members and friends of MUMC.  Richard Rice delivered these at the Christmas Eve day service there and reports how pleased the residents were -- they immediately tried them on!  (Thanks to the knitters.)  -  Grace Church men's shelter also received approximately 40 gifts from our congregation of sweat shirts, tee shirts, socks, gloves, etc.  Sister Alice has written a thank you note to us.  -  The Children's Home in Binghamton very much appreciated the $700 gift and will use it for the good work going on there. I do not have a report on the Christmas Tree sales at this point. Thank you to everyone who participated in one way or another. - Nancy Rice -
 

Keep Knitting

The scarves for Anchor House were a big hit and so we want YOU to keep right on knitting, and if you didn't knit (or crochet) in 2009, you can start right now.  The scarves should be 6 to 10 inches wide and about 50 inches long -- we need 50 for men, 20 for women -- and need to be washable.  Call Kathleen Cotter or Nancy Rice for info and look for notice of a time in the spring when we can all meet together. - Special thanks to the following for their contributions this year:  Kathleen Cotter, Maryanne Wolf, Pat Hayes, Joan Morgan, Cynthia Plater, Phyllis Rodriguez and Nancy Rice.  And, anyone else I may have missed. - Nancy Rice

Christmas 2009

Dear Sisters and Brothers of Memorial,

I recently heard a story, “The babies of Lincoln Hospital.” Some might call these “crack babies.” Their mothers left them because of their own addiction and many other reasons. Women from a nearby church learned of the children’s story. They took turns coming to the hospital to hold, rock and feed them. The women, as soon as they took a step toward the hospital were praying with their feet (and their arms), were beginning/continuing a life-long compassionate journey, were sharing the love they had received in their own lives and were Christ’s hands and feet. How beautiful!
 
Memorial offers all of us a chance to be Christ’s hands and feet this Christmas.

Cleaning for a Reason

If you know any woman currently undergoing Chemo, please pass the word to her that there is a cleaning service that provides FREE  housecleaning - 1 time per month for 4 months while she is in treatment.
All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment. Cleaning for a Reason will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the service. http://www.cleaningforareason.org
Please pass this information on to bless a woman going through Breast Cancer treatment. This organization serves the entire USA and currently has 547 partners to help these women. It's our job to pass the word and let them know that there are people out there that care. Be a blessing to someone and pass this information along.
