Members of Missouri United Methodist Church, in Columbia, Missouri were recently treated to “A Taste of India.” The evening was a benefit to raise support for the Ludhiana Medical College and Hospital in India. The evening included an Indian dinner cooked by members of the Missouri United Methodist Church Ludhiana Task Force. Girls from Rock Bridge High School performed Indian dances and two short three minute videos about the ministry in India were shown. The event raised $3094 to provide scholarships for students and to provide health care to those who could not otherwise afford it.

“God’s Renewed Creation: Call to Hope and Action.”
–United Methodist Council of Bishops

To celebrate earth day 2012, your MissionCast crew took a tour of the solar home of Mitch Ross & Cheryl Marcum, located near Stockton Lake. Mitch and Cheryl are members of the Stockton United Methodist Church.

When they designed and built their solar home five years ago their goal was to reduce electricity and greenhouse gas emissions. Their average monthly electricity bill for their 3718 square foot electric home, for the past five years, has been $63. This includes a $20 per month service charge, all of their lights and appliances, heat for their home and their guinea house, power for their water pump and electric cart, and day use of two home offices.

To view the whole solar home tour which is 23 minutes long go to http://momissioncast.com/videos/ep267_23min_solar_home_tour_med.wmv

To take the tour at a higher resolution go to http://momissioncast.com/videos/ep267_23min_solar_home_tour_higher.wmv

In their document, God’s Renewed Creation: Call to Hope and Action, the United Methodist bishops have said, “We cannot help the world until we change our way of being in it,” As we celebrate earth day 2012, let us all consider ways we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save this beautiful earth for our grand kids and their kids. Click here for suggestions from the Environmental Protection Agency.

“On the fourth Saturday of every month the people of Montgomery City are treated to a Community Outreach Fellowship Meal prepared by members of First United Methodist-Presbyterian Church. The meal is served family style and is all cooked either at church or in the homes of church members. The number of their diners has risen to where they serve between 80 and 90 people. To make sure there is enough food but not too much they confirm reservations by phone. For this MissionCast we asked Floy Oliver, Co-coordinator of the fellowship meal to tell us about it.
