Nothing But Sweat for Nothing But Nets
 In 2007, the United Methodist Church teamed with Nothing But Nets to help end malaria in Africa. Nothing But Sweat is a radical attempt to raise at least $100,000 for the Nothing But Nets Campaign through a four-day, 230 mile ride from Houston to Fort Worth. The dates for the ride are Sunday, April 20th to Wednesday, April 23rd. The ride will also serve as a conduit for communicating information about Nothing But Nets and garnering support for the campaign through sponsorships. We also hope to promote fellowship among the United Methodists who ride, those who provide primary support and those churches along the way who will host riders and the support team...more>> |

Mission Forum 2007 |
|
Over 200 hundred people came to Mission Forum on Saturday September 15 and learned about Risk Taking Mission through worship, workshops, international lunch and "global village" displays. The Mission Store was there; project coordinators from our national and international Partners in Mission projects were there to answer questions and help participants with the Mission Triva Game. Displays from mission groups such as Mision Milby, UM ARMY, Mercy Ships, CONAM, and others were there to educate and involve people in mercy ministries. Top names from the General Board of Global Ministries were on hand as workshop presenters, as well as some of our mission partners from Mexico and Cote d'Ivoire. Lakewood UMC were marvelous hosts as they helped set up and direct people to classes throughout the day. At the sending forth service, Jackie (sp?) Banman and Tommy Lyles provided a challenge and a consecration service sending people out into the world in risk taking mission and ministry.
Next year's Mission Forum is slated for Saturday, September 6, at First UMC in Huntsville Texas and will feature our Partners in Mission projects, local, national, and international. |

| Our task is what we do with our abilities—from moving soil, laying bricks, mixing cement, painting, carpentry work, teaching Vacation Bible School to participating in medical missions. Our task should always be secondary to our purpose of sharing Christ’s love in ways that make a Christian difference. |
