The United Methodist Church of Green Trails was chosen to receive the 2011 Shalom House Community Impact Award in recognition of their partnership, investment, and hands-on service that positively impacts the lives of Shalom House residents and graduates.

The United Methodist Church of Green Trails chose Shalom House as the focus of its local missions.  Individuals within the congregation have been regularly involved in service at Shalom House in projects such as supporting residents with computer-based needs like resume building and job searching and preparing meals and a menu for food in the Emergency Shelter Program. Under the leadership of Pastor Nate Berneking, the United Methodist Church of Green Trails has helped provide a much-needed new roof and soon-to-be-installed enhanced security system to the “home” of our residents.  Girded in passion for the mission of Shalom House, The United Methodist Church of Green Trails has convened a covenantal partnership of 5 other area churches to improve Shalom House’s infrastructure in ways that will eliminate frequent needs from the agency and create better repeatable systems to support Shalom House women.

Joplin

For over 50 years the Manchester United Methodist Congregation has been making apple butter as a fundraiser to support outreach mission.  Of course there is also the yummy apple butter that is in demand every year as well.  This tradition has been kept alive as the congregation has changed from a small rural church to one of the Missouri Conference’s largest urban congregations.  MissionCast was on hand to bring you this stirring story.

The video and the audio for this MissionCast were captured on the tiny Canon PowerShot digital camera pictured here.  It is available for around $130.  We wanted to capture all of the material for this MissionCast on this camera to demonstrate just how far digital cameras have come and to encourage you to capture and share the mission events of your congregation.  There are members in every congregation no matter how big or small who have this kind of camera or much better ones in their possession already.

Joplin

Tim and Ellie Brubaker have been living in their RV in Joplin for two months.  They drove to Joplin from their home in Harbor Springs, Michigan to help us coordinate Volunteers in Mission teams serving in Joplin.  Volunteering as they have been doing is nothing new for them.  They served several times in Louisiana after Katrina as well as in Greensburg, Kansas after their tornado.  They have also served in Florida.  What a blessing they have been to our Missouri Conference disaster response ministry in Joplin.  We wanted you to be able to meet them so your MissionCast crew arranged for a visit with them in their home on wheels.
If you would like to bring your RV to Joplin and serve in this manner please contact Jeff Baker at the Office of Creative Ministries.  Phone:  573-474-7155.  Email:  baker@umocm.com
