As part of the 2011 Louisiana Annual
Conference focus on ministry with the
poor, United Methodist churches
throughout the state have made extraordinary commitments of money and service
to alleviate the suffering of the poor.
Each local church was asked to make a
formal commitment for service at the
2011 Louisiana Annual Conference in
Shreveport.
Here are a few reports on
some of the exciting work that is being
accomplished by our churches.
The Mission Society of Asbury
United Methodist Church in Natchitoches
(Alexandria District) hosted a women’s
workshop entitled “Fruit of the Spirit.
”
Area churches were invited to attend the
program which emphasized helping the
sick, shut-ins and those in need.
Participants donated diabetic socks which
were distributed to nursing homes.
The
church also feeds the sick and shut-ins on
the third Sunday of each month.
Volunteers send cards, make telephone
calls, and visit the nursing homes and
hospitals in our area.
