DONATIONS

BACK-TO-SCHOOL DRIVE. In July, the Mission Committee collected backpacks and school supplies for Costa Mesa-based Share Ourselves. Its Back-to-School backpack distribution and First in Family College Readiness program help ensure that every child—kindergarten through college—has the tools needed to focus on his or her education. Thank you for your generous donations to help students start their new school year!

RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVE – August 25 from 11:30 am-4:30 pm

The Missions Committee will be hosting our monthly Red Cross Blood Drive in the Fellowship Hall. Sign up online at redcrossblood.org. A donation time will be provided.

THANK YOU—At the July blood drive, 19 people donated and we collected 19 pints of blood, which will be saving up to 57 lives in Southern California. Thank you for supporting the Red Cross and its life-saving mission. Your generosity is especially meaningful during the summer months, when blood donations drop to critically low levels. Your contributions help ensure that patients in need will receive the care they depend on.

Thank you for your continued support. MVUMC has donated more than 500 gallons.

UPCOMING MISSION BUCKS

AUGUST MISSION BUCKS will support our UMCOR missionary in Japan, Ronald Julian. Mr. Julian is a missionary with the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church, serving as a chaplain with the International Seafarers Ministry in Yokohama. The Seafarers Ministry provides pastoral care, counseling, and practical assistance to sailors who may be at sea for many months with little contact with family and the outside world.

SEPTEMBER MISSION BUCKS will support Habitat for Humanity.

OCTOBER MISSION BUCKS will support Fresh Beginnings. We also will collect food items for holiday boxes for those in need.

Thank you in advance for your financial support.
