The Passion: Opportunities for Discipleship
An OPEN INVITATION to ALL:
The Taylor family is headed up to Hatcher Pass for some sledding. We will provide hot chocolate and some snacks to keep folks going. So pack a sandwich for the drive up after church, Sunday, March 14 and meet us up there with your sled or snowboard.
Once you get through the curvy part of the road just past the Little Su Bridge, you’ll look for the first turn on the left. Follow the road up and park in the parking lot. There is a porta-potty in the parking lot for public use. If you want to come sit in your rig and watch, that would be fun too. The sledding is visible from the parking lot, and sledding is easy to a moderate level.
We will have two extra seats in our rig; call us at 746-7671

Pastor Imelda Ramos of Douglas Community UMC and her husband Bob Woolf are stuck in the Philippines. Long story short, they would not allow her to board her plane and so the two of them have been visiting the Embassy regularly over the last week to get this straightened out. They have an appointment at the embassy on Tuesday, around 7:00-10:00am. However, because Manila is 17 hours ahead of Alaska, that would be today, Monday, between 2:00-5:00pm.
Please join Douglas Community UMC in prayer for Imelda and Bob during this time so that they can return to the US.
There is a possibility that we will have a VIM team around the first of July. They will need transportation. Do any of you have a van you would loan, or would you be willing to be their transportation while they are here? They will need transportation to and from the airport, including their luggage, and possibly trips to the grocery store and other places.
It will be a group of around 15 people - teenage, women and men. Sounds like a really fun group from Washington.
Please let us know.
Daylight savings time starts Sunday!
It was easy to fall back, but this time we have to SPRING FORWARD and lose an hours sleep.
See you Sunday an hour earlier than usual. Still 11:30, but someone's playing with sun time.
We can help fight malaria by supporting our kids with their "Nothing But Nets" program. $10 buys a net that can protect 4 people from the mosquitos that carry the malaria virus.
Check out the website.
The new blog is up! You can find it at www.christ1stumc.blogspot.com.

There has been another fire in which the residents lost everything. They need household items, and the son wears a size 6 to 7 shirt and a size 8 reg. pants. They can not use furniture right now as they have no place to put it. They will be staying with a sister in law until summer because they had plans on building a home this summer. She also said to say big thank you to everyone.
If someone wishes to donate anything could they bring it to church and we will get it to her. There already has been a tv, some bedding and tupperware and dishes donated.
If you have any questions you can send me an email. Thanks Lois
This information may be useful as you celebrate what you have given to UMCOR for Haiti and answer the questions people ask about what is being done with the money.
I give praise to God for the Generosity of the UMC.

An version of this UMCOR Update is found online.
The Church Responds
Thanks so much for the outpouring of support for UMCOR's Haiti relief efforts - the generosity is amazing! As we work with the people in Haiti to address the long term recovery and development needs, we are thankful to move forward with the confidence that the people of the United Methodist Church will continue to partner with UMCOR in the years to come. Especially as Haiti prepares for the rainy season, and then hurricane season, please be in prayer with the people of Haiti and know that your support is critical.
As of February 18, 2010
Since the January 12 earthquake, UMCOR has carried out an initial assessment of damages and needs, developed a five-year work plan, and shored up strategic partnerships with the United Nations, NGOs and the Methodist Church in Haiti.
The UMCOR work plan anticipates three phases of recovery: emergency, recovery and rehabilitation. Currently operating in the emergency phase -- from the time of the earthquake through April and including the start of the rainy season in March - UMCOR is addressing the most immediate needs of access to food, clean water and sanitation, temporary shelter and emotional and spiritual support.

I am looking for a World Map for this Sunday, Feb. 28 for use during Sunday school. If someone has a National Geographic stashed away with a map inside or a poster we can borrow that would be great!
Thank you,
Wendy Taylor
