Rio Bravo Deaf School News

Mr. Ernest Clark, from Virginia, who is the General Director of the deaf school in Mexico, asked me to convey his “thanks” and “blessings” on our Church Members for helping so much in this time of need for the school.

 

Carol and I have been taking donated food and buying food in Mexico almost every week. For a while some of the kids had to go home at noon to save on food, but since we have stepped up the supplies, now all of the kids are staying the full school day.

 

We also thank you for buying the empanadas the kids made. All of this money goes directly to the school.

 

Again thank you to everyone for being so generous in helping the kids at the Rio Bravo Deaf School.

 

Blessings, Mark and Carol Armor, 412-1727 and cell 245-0890

 

 

FROM CHURCH TO CHURCH, AMEN!
Our Awards, Events, and Missions Accomplished

AMEN to McAllen District Wesleyan Nurses who continue to educate us in all areas of health issues. This month was dedicated to National Cholesterol Education. It’s a reminder of how fragile our bodies are and as temples of God, we are to take care of ourselves physically as much as spiritually.

AMEN to FUMC McAllen for hosting a Fall Sunday Family Picnic to kick-off a variety of Bible Studies to be held throughout the week-including a Bible Study for Moms using scripture, prayer and discussion based on the Bible that is relevant to helping moms become more Godly women even during the daily routine of life.

AMEN to FUMC Alice who was a registered host site in September for the nationwide simulcast of The Total Money Makeover Live! by Dave Ramsey.

AMEN to Mission FUMC   U.M. Women Saturday Circle who meet the last Saturday of each month so that women who are unable to attend weekday functions because of work, children, and everyday business can attend. The women learn of mission opportunities extending a helping hand to the world around them.

AMEN to Christ/Riviera UMC for hosting the youth group and sponsors from Memorial UMC Austin. The youth constructed a labyrinth at RUMC that has already been available as an outreach to the community.

AMEN to San Benito FUMC who extended their ministries to include a Spanish Worship Service at Riverside Middle School.
