SOME ARE CALLED, SOME ARE SENT

At Cokes Chapel, we are all called! God has something for each of us to do to build up the Kingdom of God. We are blessed with connections to two very special couples who have been called to serve beyond their own community, into the world.

Allie and David Houles have committed to a five-year term at Blessing Home in Pattaya in Thailand. Allie is the daughter of Jerri and Mickey Statham and attended Cokes Chapel as a child.

Amanda and Matt Hadden are serving the Oglala Lakota people in South Dakota. Amanda is the granddaughter of Sandy and Pete Cavender.

Your Ad Council recently approved our plan to support both couples this year. Since their funding is not a budgeted expense, Outreach/Mission has plans for some fundraising events to raise the pledged amount. Outreach is hosting a dinner/silent auction on August 11th to kick-off funding the Houles’ and Hadden’s. Mark your calendars, and stay tuned for more opportunities to give your support.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE SPECIAL OFFERING 2017: MINISTERIAL EDUCATION FUND

The Ministerial Education Fund has helped thousands of men and women become pastoral leaders in The United Methodist Church. Chances are seminary students from your congregation or the pastor of your church was a recipient of MEF. It is nurtured and funded by United Methodists to provide scholarships to seminary and undergraduate students, course-of-study for local pastors, and license to preach school.

Aligning with the theme of the 2017 Annual Conference, “Show Your Work: Worship That Inspires Action,” this fund is one way United Methodists can show our support to those called to serve as clergy. Together we can help minimize debt of N. GA. United Methodists beginning in ministry.

MEF is a general church apportioned fund of which 25% is retained by our conference. But 100% of the giving to the Annual Conference Special Offering will go to United Methodist seminary and course of study students in the N. GA. Conference.

Please give generously to the 2017 Annual Conference Special Offering. One person from each local church will present a check during the Service of Remembrance on Wednesday, June 14th, at 2:00pm.

Please make checks payable to Cokes Chapel and note M.E.F. Fund #1147 – Annual Conference Special Offering, Ministerial Education Fund.
