Due to the massive flooding in the Midwest, the United Methodist Committee On Relief's (UMCOR) Sager Brown Depot has nearly depleted its supply of flood buckets.  This low inventory is a serious concern with the hurricane season just beginning.

 

Congregations and individuals are urged to send completed buckets, bulk materials or a contribution to purchase supplies. A list of the contents can be found [HERE] or you can give $45 towards the purchase of these items for each bucket.

 

Gifts can be made to UMCOR Material Resources Advance # 901440 which will enable UMCOR to purchase needed relief supplies. For additional information, please follow this link:  Flood Buckets.

As an incentive for churches that still own and operate 15 passenger vans to transition to safer transportation, the Conference is offering a full "rebate" of the 2008 van premium ($4000), if the church sells the van by June 1, 2008.  After June 1 through the end of the year, the Conference will "rebate" 50% of the van premium, ($2000).
