Mary from Nigeria Fourth Week of Advent 2008
Sisters and brothers, in those days a decree went
out…
from the government of Angela Merkel, the new
chancellor in the Federal Republic of Germany.
All the refugees & asylum seekers in the country
had to be distributed among the regions of the
whole republic according to their nationalities.

Advent Is Full of People Doing the Unusual Fourth Sunday of Advent, December 21, 2008
Luke 1 and 2 are all full of people doing the
absolutely unusual. It is unusual for kings to
visit poor folk's babies in a stable. It is
unusual for kings to bring presents, kneel down
to, and worship some unknown, homeless couple's
child. And it is unusual for them to show
solidarity with a tiny newborn human being rather
than with their colleague king--Herod.
That is what the evangelist Matthew reports us.

Thanksgiving: An Attitude of Gratitude
It's easy to be grateful for sugar and spice and
all things nice. Who among us doesn't feel
appreciative and appreciated when fortune is
smiling down upon us? This seems like a limited
sort of gratitude, too dependent on circumstance
and perception. How much more profound to come to
a sense of appreciation for all Life, even the
slugs and snails and puppy dog tails.

Helping Find the Way in Appalachia
During a regular week, Scott Williams works for
the Springfield Park District. Often he makes and
maintains signs for parks in the central Illinois
community. So it only made sense that on his
recent mission trip to Henderson Settlement in
Frakes, KY, he used his “regular talents” to make
a contribution to the Red Bird Missionary
Conference mission.

Advent Calendar 2003
Thanks again to Rev. Tom Mousin and Rev. Merry
Watters, United Methodist pastors serving
churches in the Troy conference, for the Advent
calendar. They have worked together to create a
calendar each Advent season for the last 12
years.
Pastor Watters colors the calendars and mails
them to friends and family instead of sending
more traditional Christmas cards. What better
gift could one give than sharing the true
meaning and spirit of the holiday season?

'Doers of the Word': Report from VIMs after a trip to North Carolina
"Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only."
James 1:22.
North Carolina has opportunities to hammer,
pray, paint, cook, lift, install drywall, and
help out in many important ways, to be a doer
for people in need. We were from Vermont and
Northeastern New York, members of a Troy
Conference team of 20, who have been doing just
that.

In El Salvador, Volunteers Build Homes and Offer Vacation Bible School
Asbury United Methodist Church from Maitland,
Florida sent a mission team to Jayaque, El
Salvador from May 31 to June 7, 2003. Our
mission
was to build homes for victims of the 2001
earthquakes, offer Vacation Bible School for the
local children, and to build relationships with
the people of El Salvador. This was a return
trip
for our church as we sent a team to Jayaque in
2002. We were very excited to return and once
again serve in Jayaque.

spoken pastor who invites the children to join
him near the front pews of the sancutary. The
