Helping those in need
Knitting Ministry
The Knitting
Ministry is a relatively new ministry to our congregation. Begun in 2005
and led by Cindy Lambert-Weaver, we gather each week to make lap blankets,
baby blankets and prayer shawls. These gifts of love are brought to the congregation for
prayer. The gift is then presented to a baby at their baptism or to an ill
member of our congregation - bringing with it the love and prayers of our
community.

crocheters, or other needle workers who would like to share this ministry with

UMCOR RELIEF
EFFORTS IN HAITI UPDATE:
East
Bangor UMC has given $1483.55 which includes offering donated by our Sunday
school children and teachers to United Methodist Committee on Relief.
100% of every dollar given will be used for the relief efforts to
Haiti. Our Adult Sunday School
class, along with the congregation, assembled 41 Healthcare kits to send to
Haiti. UMCOR has been able to
partner with organizations already established in Haiti and the Dominican
Republic to speed aid to those in need (Methodist Church in Haiti;
GlobalMedic; Bahamas Methodist Habitat).
Bahamas Methodist program is conducting 12 flights per day through
its Fly-In & Help Out mission program, transporting much-need medical
supplies into and evacuating people out of Haiti for medical assistance.
Through this program (as of January 20th) 10,000 pounds of emergency
medical relief supplies have already been delivered to Haiti.
Over three million people are in dire need of assistance in Haiti.
Please support UMCOR in its response with your gifts.
You can donate to UMCOR by sending your check to the church, made
payable to EBUMC and note that it is for "Haiti Emergency, UMCOR Advance
#41835." Please continue to
pray for the people of Haiti and all those who are responding to the call
for help.
