A recommendation from a member of the church: Have you considered putting a link to other Methodist related web pages on the church site?

Whether you support the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan most us do support the young men and women who are in these countries and putting their lives on the line for something they believe in. If you go to this web site,

www.letssaythanks.com , you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services. How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! Please send a card.

It is FREE and it only takes a second.

Help feed the hungry and have fun at the same time

www.freerice.com is a vocabulary game that you play on line and for each word you get right they will donate 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger. Here is how it works. When you play the game, advertisements appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these advertisements is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people. In addition to providing food, the World Food Program helps hungry people to become self-reliant so that they escape hunger for good. Wherever possible, the World Food Program buys food locally to support local farmers and the local economy. To play visit www.freerice.com.
