Running to Help Cure Blood Cancers
As last Sunday’s Old Testament lesson—Isaiah 40:31—reminded me: “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” On March 18th, I will be running the Shamrock Marathon in Virginia Beach—26.2 miles—to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team In Training program. I have committed not only to running the distance, but also reaching my personal fundraising goal of $7500 to help finance research on a cure and to provide assistance to those battling blood cancers. A number of church members donated when I last fundraised back in 2008 for which I am deeply grateful. If you are interested in sponsoring me, please write a check made payable to the “Leukemia and Lymphoma Society” and hand it to me in church some Sunday. If you prefer, you can also make a secure, on-line donation and learn more about my motivation for running on my personal webpage. http://pages.teamintraining.org/nca/shamrock12/clasher Thank you in advance for your support—both moral and financial.

Each week during the academic year the Wesley Foundation provides between 35 to 45 meals for students! We believe that hospitality is an important part of our ministry. Meals are a wonderful opportunity for students to feel the care and concern of others, as well as take a few minutes to connect with peers who are facing some of the same issues, stresses and growing edges. But to keep this ministry going, we need your help! We ask that you prayerfully consider whether one or more of the following will fit into your busy schedule: Volunteer to prepare a meal for Sunday (served at the church after 11:00 worship). Early in the semester, we will prepare for 15 to 20. Leftovers are almost always used for another meal or sent home with students. Fancy is not necessary. We have served sandwiches, casseroles, and pizza, very simple things. Donate large frozen entrees (that serve 8 to 12), that you either buy or make, marking it WF and the date and placing it in the freezer downstairs, or asking Kim to do that. These are great for Bible Study meals served mid-week. If you are buying items, you can choose from the following list: Stouffer’s Lasagna (meat, veggie or cheese), Stouffer’s Macaroni and Cheese, breaded chicken fingers (large bag). We can also use frozen garlic bread and large packages of finger foods like mozzarella sticks. Arranging with Kim to bring a salad, bread or desert for a particular meal. Donating money for a Sunday or Wednesday meal. It costs between $50 and $100 to serve a meal—but any amount is greatly appreciated! We are also happy to say that we are set up now to receive online donations, so you can go to http://www.umdmethodists.org/giving-page/ and securely give a tax deductible gift.

UUMC’s Visual Arts Guild is searching for a new Art Curator and Guild Grand Pooh-Bah. Duties include discovering hidden artists, building and encouraging the UUMC Visual Arts Guild as your creative community, finding exhibitors, placing and taking down exhibits, writing encouraging, illuminating and enticing blurbs about the exhibits and bulletin boards and other duties at your own discretion. You need imagination, a certain pushiness, and an enjoyment of power (since the decision of the Art Curator on the suitability of exhibit materials is FINAL!). Our exhibit walls are like the baseball diamond in Field of Dreams. We’ve built it and the artists will come with just a tiny bit of encouragement. This job could open a new career avenue. The rewards are plentiful, but not monetary. The 14-member UUMC Visual Arts Guild will be your partners, friends, inspiration and fellow struggling artists. This is the best job in the church – and it could be yours! Contact: Michelle Marcotte (marcotteconsulting@comcast.net 301-262-9866) Help the Help-by-Phone Food Bank
