RUMC Mission Trip Participants to Kentucky Spend Week Helping Others
The Rockford United Methodist Church recently sent seventeen members of the Henderson Settlement Project (HSP) mission team to Frakes, Kentucky to spend a week helping a family in need. Henderson Settlement, which is an outreach mission of the United Methodist Church, serves over 7,000 people in Claiborne and Campbell Counties in Tennessee along with Whitley and Bell Counties in Kentucky. Members of the HSP mission team raised money throughout the past year in order to purchase the materials needed to build a 12’ by 12’ storage shed for a family in Clairfield, Tennessee. Funds were also used for transportation expenses to and from Henderson Settlement. Some members of the HSP team volunteered their time during the week at the Opportunity Store and the Food Pantry which are part of Henderson Settlement. Clothes were sorted and hung on hangers and food was boxed for distribution.
Fundraisers
included the annual Buckeye Candy Sales in November, Longaberger
products sales, as well as Sunday meals at church. Even though
seventeen members made the trip to Frakes to work, the church and
community supports this work through fundraising efforts. For more
information about Henderson Settlement go to
www.hendersonsettlement.com .
Members of the 2011 Mission Team are Angie Fisher (coordinator), Loren Shindeldecker (treasurer), Rick Shindeldecker, Amanda Shindeldecker, Casey Nuttle, Michael Nuttle, Dick and Rhonda Edgell, Pastor Chip and Janet Steffy, Karen Hays, Karla Butler, Craig Bills, Eli Bowers, Ben Bowers, Lindsay Garwood, and Kirsten Schreima.

(Never known to Fail)
Oh, most beautiful
flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother
of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist in me in my necessity. Oh
Star of the Sea, help me and show me here you are my mother.
Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech
you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity. (Make
request) There are none that can withstand your power. Oh Mary,
conceived without sin, pray for us, who have recourse to thee (three
times), Holy Mary, I place this prayer in your hands (three times).
Say this prayer for three consecutive days and then you must publish and
it will be granted to you.
