It was wonderful to have two visitors from the HOINA school in India. Darlene Large, founder of this school for children, and Glory Janes, who is to take over as Director for this school, were able to worship with us this morning. We've been involved with the HOINA school as one of our mission projects for many years, and it's always great to have Darlene visit us. She is truly a remarkable woman with a remarkable story. |

Praise
the Lord! Thanks to His leading and the
generous outpouring of donations from businesses and church members, the many
who helped with solicitation of donations, mailings, set up, food preparation
and serving, clean up, those who came to bid at the auction (49 numbers were
assigned this year), and those who made monetary donations, the auction was a
huge success. (Just a fun fact, this year all baked goods
brought in over $2,100!)
But
the true joy comes from helping the youth in the area of Philadelphia where
Mid-Town Parish UMC is located with scholarship money to supplement the cost of
their higher education. Many of our
Mid-Town friends and three of the students receiving scholarships were at the
auction bringing their donations and taking home some of the
"treasures" from the auction. This fall semester there are eight
scholarship recipients. It is because of your support and contributions to the
KFH that the foundation will be able to award funding to these students, thus
having the opportunity to touch the lives of these young people who in turn
give back to their church and community.
Thanks
be to God and our faithful supporters here at Leola UMC and at Mid-Town
Parish
UMC.

Mission Committee

Mark
your calendars now for Saturday, September 28, 2019 for the Kensill Fund for
Hope Auction starting at noon. It is a great time of fun and fellowship, but,
most importantly it is the annual event our church holds to contribute to the
Kensill Fund for Hope, the fund used to provide scholarships for students who
participate in the ministries of the Mid-Town Parish United Methodist Church in
North Philadelphia.
We will again have delicious chicken Bar-b-que
for sale that day.
What can
you do to help?
Donate
new or gently used items for the auction; think of services, dinners, food or
activities you can donate (we will print up certificates for these); talk to
friends with shops or businesses to solicit donations; and let a Mission
Committee member know if you would like to help with the auction in any way. We
would greatly appreciate help before and during the day of the auction. Sign-up sheets are in the
Narthex.
Donations
may be placed on the stage in
Fellowship Hall beginning in September. You may do Sunday drop offs when the church is open, or call Mary Yohe to arrange a date or time for drop off.
Our
thanks in advance for your continued support!
The
Mission Committee |
