RED BIRD MISSION
As you know by now, the Mission Outreach Committee of the HUMC has been approved by the Red Bird Mission in Beverly, Kentucky for a Work Project from July 17-24, 2010.The mission has accepted six members from the Hawley United Methodist Church to join a team of more than 160 Christians representing United Methodist churches from across the country to work on projects in the Red Bird Missionary Conference.
Founded by the Evangelical United Brethren Church, Red Bird has become a primary mission of our denomination - providing ministries in this region of the Appalachian Mountains since 1921. Today the need remains critical in this isolated, rural distressed area. Chronic poverty, lack of jobs, poor housing, and rugged mountain terrain provide obstacles to a fuller life for the residents of the area. Red Bird strives to meet these needs through ministry in five areas: Education, Health and Wellness, Community Outreach, Economic Opportunity and Community.
"….if you do it unto the least of my brethren, you do it unto me"

WE’LL NEED POWER EQUIPMENT, (BATTERY OPERATED SANDERS), POWER DRILLS (ELECTRIC); AND FIVE (5) LARGE PACKAGES OF PAPER TOWELS.CHECKS MAY BE SENTTO THE CHURCH TO HELP PURCHASE THESE ITEMS. ALL THE POWER EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES THAT WE BRING TO RED BIRD WILL BE LEFT THERE.
