Dear Robynne and Friends at Lakeside,
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing our ministry again for your VBS
mission! What a blessing! You did such a great job that we were able to give out the
bags at 3 homeless feedings & still have some to share with our friends on the street that
can’t make it to a feeding. Everyone loved them and all were so grateful. May God
bless all your efforts at Lakeside in the future. The monetary donation was also God’s
perfect timing: Because we had an extra feeding that week, we were able to purchase
bread & drinks that were needed.
Sincerely,
Sister Chris & Sister Jean

Dear Friends in Mission;
Thank you for partnering with the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR).
Through your gift, you are helping to provide humanitarian relief when war, conflict or
natural disaster disrupts life to such an extent that communities are unable to recover on
their own.
Through The Advance, the designated giving channel of The United Methodist Church,
100% of your contribution will go to supporting UMCOR’s response to disasters in United
States. Giving through The Advance enables United Methodists to support one another in
mission and ministry around the world. Thank you for partnering with us to “Be Hope” to
those who desperately need it. Thank you for giving so generously.
This gift brings hope to those who need it most.
Grace and Peace, Roland Fernandez,
General Treasurer of the General Board of Global Ministries

SCHOOL IS BACK
IN SESSION
Dear Friends, As summer draws to an end, our children at the Enterprise campus and
Madison Youth Ranch are making plans to begin a new school year. And because of
your gifts, they enjoyed a summer full of fun. Our Summer Fun Program included a wide
range of activities from field trips to pool parties. In fact, because of the generosity of
friends like you, we were able to extend the program another week. We were able to
keep on the additional staff for another week, take the children to a first run movie, and
wrap it all up with a trip to Aquatica at Seaworld.
Your generosity is making an impact in the lives of our children. From our children and
staff, thank you for your continued love, support, and prayers.
Sincerely, Elisabeth Gadd, MNM, CFRE, Vice President of Development
