Single-Heartedness: First Sunday of Lent, February 21, 2010
Absolute single-hearted service…how does one
do that? What would that look like? Some saintly
person unengaged with this world's temptations
and relationships that snarl much of God's
creation into an unrecognizable mess? What does
single-hearted service mean to me? How do I not
become distracted from my intentions?

UMCOR Supports Tsunami’s “Hidden” Emergencies
Fishing gear in Somalia, home repairs in India,
and school buildings in Thailand are three
examples of aid United Methodists are providing
in tsunami-damaged areas—but often unnoticed by
international media.
This work is being done by the United Methodist
Committee on Relief (UMCOR) in collaboration
with ecumenical partners that are able to
deliver long-term relief and rehabilitation
services.

Responsively Yours: Leftovers vs. Abundance
Having grown up in close acquaintance with the working poor, I
have long admired and marveled at the ingenuity of those who
have little. I have traveled extensively in parts of the world where
poverty is deeply entrenched.

UMCOR Hotline, February 8, 2005
UMCOR needs volunteers to help Florida and
Alabama rebuild from the devastation caused by
multiple hurricanes last year. UMCOR has
dispatched two disaster workers to Utah to assist
with flood relief. Some 1,500 families in Somalia
and 20 Burmese migrant communities in Thailand
will receive UMCOR aid. In Sri Lanka, top
priority of UMCOR's long-term recovery efforts
will be the reclamation of livelihoods.

Online Giving to UMCOR Boosts Aid for Asian Tsunami Relief
As the need for help increases following the
tragedy in South Asia and Africa, United
Methodist officials say that online giving is
providing a new way of responding quickly. By
Dec. 31, online donations through
MethodistRelief.org were $445,000. But that
figure is dwarfed by the tremendous need. Sachen
noted that one agency in India alone is
requesting $13 million in aid.
