STORMS / DISASTERS of 2011-2012
1. Alabama -West Florida. The Alabama West Florida
Conference is requesting teams to help in the rebuilding efforts after the
April 2011 Storms in the Demopolis District. We still need skilled
rebuild teams through August 2012. We are hoping to complete 3 houses we
are currently working on by the end of that month. We need electricians,
drywall, painters, cabinets & cabinet installation, and flooring in the
Demopolis District, primarily in Choctaw County. Teams will stay in one of
the five church locations in the Demopolis District. For more information,

Missions Meeting Minutes
April 2, 2013
Attendance: Margie, Kristin, Tiffany, Lynn, Eric, Nadine and Mike, Amy, Tina, Bill, Buddy and Jeanne, Pastor Mike and John , and guest Sarah Jones.
Devotions: Nadine led us in Nana’s story involving her granddaughters’ Legos in the closet and pointing out that a “ ‘lashlight” is all we need sometimes.
Approval for minutes from last month.
Mike opened up with talk of GBoM visit and thanked Amy for representing them at last meeting. Then, Tina was invited to discuss Summer Sunday school agenda and plans to have various reps. Take respective dates in July/August. Asking if trips to Sierra Leone and Ghana could be included by our own members. Evangelism Committee said it’s OK if same topics covered and Mike mentioned idea of putting together a large collection of all our mission opportunities. Possibly a table of “place settings” with each one being a topic for each Sunday. Margie Mengle and Kristin Brown volunteered to assist Tina Eaton in preparing the Mission Tables for the Summer Sunday School series.
