RED BIRD MISSION TRIP
April 19 ndash 25 2020
Sign up for the Red Bird Mission Trip has been very successful If you have not signed up and are interested in going
please contact Mayo Collier at 843 6015968 or mecjr123aolcom We need several more ladies to sign up
An important part of our work at Red Bird is the Outreach Ministry We visit several families that are in severe need
suffering the plight of the disadvantaged Red Bird has no system to support them Our visiting teams try to deter-
mine what we can do for them in 24 hours that will be life changing
This ministry is financed by contributions to our Red Bird Designated Fund One can support this with a contribution
made out to St Paul UMC and designated Red Bird Put your check in the offering plate and you can give it directly
to Mayo Collier for deposit
Our prayer is that God will lead us to Those He wants us to serve and provide the servers as well as the financial re-
sources
Please continue to pray for all in the Red Bird Community and for Godrsquos guidance in this mission trip
February ~ The Month of Love
There is a made-up day called Valentinersquos Day on the 14th of February It is an opportunity to buy a card or
gift or flowers or a meal for your loved one That seems like a good thing but why just one day Scripture indicates
that we should demonstrate love whenever and wherever we canmdashnot one day but as often as we can
I have a short scripture verse pinned to my office door ldquothe only thing that counts is faith working through
loverdquo (Gal 56b) It reminds me of Valentinersquos Day yesterday today and next Tuesday In my marriage I pray it be
Godly In my family and friend relationships I pray they be connected to my faith in Christ In our dealings with our
community and world let us be first centered on our faith in Christ then express our love in ways which are pleasing
to God
In Christrsquos Name

Pastor Scott
Thank You for Giving to the Lord
The Outreach Committee was overwhelmed by the response from the members and friends of Saint Paul in
supporting their Advent collection with 182 Teddy Bears and 15 stuffed animals to be distributed to city
and county fire departments The stuffed animals were given to needy children at Christmas who would not
have received a gift Our God works in mysterious ways A comfort measure collection meant for some chil-
dren was expanded to provide joy for those whose need was not even known by us Through your acts of
kindness and caring we have shared the love of our Lord Jesus not only with those who receive the gifts but
also with numerous members of our Fire Departments PRAISE THE LORD
