CHURCH FAMILY NEWS
Dear LUMC,
The contribution you gave over the holidays made a difference in the lives of those we serve. It has been very rewarding to watch our children smile over the everyday joys
many of us take for granted.
Over the Christmas Holidays we were able to spend a day with one of our college
students, Felicia. Hearing her describe what United Methodist Children’s Home (UMHC) has meant to her at a worship service was truly moving. Felicia said UMCH
is her family, UMCH cares, and it is reassuring to have the love of the UMCH
staff. Because of you this is possible.
A quick update on some of our Knabe Scholars now that they have their first semester
of college behind them:
Mitchell excelled in all his classes with the highest GPA. He also won the award of “Achiever of the Month” from his university’s Student Support Services.
Alana was able to juggle a very intense course load while working at the local
hospital admitting ER patients. William accepted his first job at Jerry’s Cleaners in Tuscaloosa.
Because of your thoughtfulness, the foundation of a stable and loving home is being provided to kids like Felicia, Mitchell, Alana and William Please help us continue to
provide for kids and families who need our guidance. Happy New Year and many
blessings for 2014, Dr. K. Blake Horne, President & CEO and Rebecca Morris, VP of
External Affairs.
B Blessed,
Rev. Jim

"Loxley UMC Youth sink to new lows to help around the church"
This is Eric Hall coming out from under the platform in the sanctuary after running cables for a new projector. Eric did a perfect job in a very tight, dark, place .
Thank you Eric.
Remember we are still paying on our building loan for the
Family Activity Center. This is a 2nd mile giving.
The food pantry is getting very low. We need the following
items especially: canned meats, drinks for kids, max &
cheese, Vienna sausages, jiffy cornbread, roman noodles,
instant potatoes, and individually wrapped packs of crackers.
As always your prayers are greatly appreciated.
Do you remember this challenge from Emma Waltman?
Collecting cans and turning them in for cash is a way to get
money for our mission programs.
Please keep an eye out for our Haiti Fundraisers. Lets make
our first Mission trip one to remember.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND….. Sunday Evening Bible study going on now every Sunday Evening at 6pm. Confirmation classes are going on now, please pray for our young members as they complete this important part of their growth as a member of the Loxley United Methodist Church. Together with 1st Baptist Church of Loxley, we are collecting school uniforms for Loxley Elementary to be housed at their church’s clothes closet. Just another ministry in our church that helps the needy in our community. GET YOUR YARD SALE ITEMS TOGETHER. April 12th there will be a yard sale at MANE STREET along with a car wash. This will fund our Haiti Mission Trip, so lets bring in lots of goodies to sell. This will also be the weekend of the Strawberry Festival, so lets take advantage of this location and many thanks to John Chappell for letting us use his location!
