From the PastorFrom the PastorFrom the PastorFrom the Pastor

At this year’s Leadership Summit I was really impressed with the presentation by a young woman named Jessica Jackley. She is the co-founder of Kiva.org, the world’s first peer-to-peer online micro lending website. Kiva allows individuals to lend as little as $25 to specific entrepreneurs which pro-vides capital to help them start or expand a small business. The New York Times Magazine named Kiva.org as the top idea in 2006. The concept of Kiva was so intriguing to me that I went online that night to find out more about it. At that website I found pictures of people in developing countries. They told briefly what their busi-ness was and how they would use the money you loaned them. Most of the requests were from $200 to $2,000 . And even though that amount seems small in our eyes it allows that person to ex-pand his/her business and overcome poverty. It was the old adage that I have heard so often- “Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime.” After the Leadership Summit those who attended gathered to discuss the ideas presented there. We thought that one of the things we would like to implement in our church was Kiva. The Missions Committee was meeting the next week and approved using $1,000 in our Missions Fund for micro financing loans processed through Kiva. So far we have loaned to 4 persons or groups and will be paid back over the next year. Our plan is to then loan that money to other entrepreneurs. To help you understand Kiva we are hosting a party in the Youth Lodge and Great Room on Mon-day, October 12th at 6:30pm. Nancy Youngs and Mike Robinson have graciously agreed to be our cooks for a Cajun Dinner. We will explain the concept of micro financing and how Kiva works. You will be shown how to join our church’s team of lenders. Or if you prefer, you may donate to the church and we will add more dollars to our church’s loan fund. I think this will be a fun way to get started and I encourage you to come on October 12th and find out why we are excited about Kiva! Yours in Christ, Chris

Shalom Meal Minute

THANK YOU SO MUCH to: Ann’s Crew, Open Door Sunday School, and True Believers Sunday School for providing us with our

first 3 Shalom Meals! NOTE: Shalom Meals will now begin at 5:15pm.

To Our Incredible Church Family – I find it more and more difficult to put into words and describe how I feel about this church. Time and again you amaze me with your capacity to love and show kindness. I am absolutely overwhelmed (almost to the point of embar-rassment) at the way you responded to my 40th birthday. You made it so memorable and fun. THANK YOU for the gift of $1000. It has made celebrating the event a blast. I want to say a special thank you to Holly Cinocca and the entire SPRC. They got one over on me as I was completely unaware. This church is such a blessing to me and my family. We love you all so very much and we are so glad and honored to be serving our God in your midst. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. In HIS Grip <>< Taud “I’m a man. I’m 40” Boatman.

Dear Church Family -

Thank you so much for your cards, flowers,

thoughts, prayers and sympathy for my

mother, Alice Pickett. I appreciate you all so much. A special

thanks to Pastor Chris for doing the service. You all are special.

Thank you for helping us all through this difficult time.

Sincerely, E.J. White and the Alice Pickett Family

To the Pastors and Congregation

of First United Methodist Church-

I want to thank you with all of my heart for your

thoughts and prayers during my fight with lung cancer. As

I am sure you know, the surgery went great, our Prayers

were answered. The Power of Prayer is beautiful.

I have an appointment Thursday with an oncologist, as

the cancer has gone outside the lung. I believe in Miracles,

God wants us to live long lives and spread the wonderful

news of His healing. I am standing on His Word.

I ask you to continue to lift me up to the Lord as I con-

tinue my journey. May God bless each of you.

Love, Johnna Mowry

CHICKEN MIX: Heat 2 tbs. canola oil in a saute pan. Add four minced garlic cloves, 1/4 of a yellow onion

diced, and 2-3 tbs. of grated ginger with the peel removed. Cook until onions are translucent. Add ground

chicken, cook through, set aside.

SAUCE: Heat 1-2 tbs. oil in a pan, add 6 slices of ginger, allow to steep in the oil a few minutes. Add 2 tsp.

sugar, 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, and 2 tbs. soy sauce. Cook until sauce thickens. Remove ginger slices. Add

As with many recipes, spices can be adjusted to your personal taste!

Trailblazers News Please plan to join us for fun, food and fellowship on Thursday, October 8th at 11:30am, for our monthly potluck luncheon. Share

with us your favorite main dish or dessert.

We are very fortunate to have Steve Whitaker,

bringing us a message from Tulsa’s

“John 3:16 Mission” (For God so loved the world………)

This mission has been a vital part of Tulsa since 1952, their ministry is “Reclaiming Lives; Restoring Hope” and this cannot be

done without volunteers. There are so many opportunities for each of us to serve. They have two ministry locations that offer a

chance to get involved and help make miracles happen for hundreds of people every year. Whether it is helping to serve hot meals

to hungry people from the homeless community of Tulsa, helping to sort donations, sponsoring a sock drive or raising funds at

your church or business, your gift of time will make a difference. Don’t miss this informative and heart-warming program.

Directly following our luncheon, we will be having an organization meeting in Room 100. We want your input as we plan the

trips and guest speakers for “2010” – Please join us!!

To all our volunteers that make our church work...there

are so many of you that work in so many different

ways...THANK YOU so much for your service. You are

the heart of the church!

Pumpkin Patch Outdoor Classroom - You Can Help! Outdoor Classroom Servants

It is that time of the year again and schools have been calling to book their class for a field trip at our Pumpkin Patch this Octo-

ber. Last year we had more than 2,800 students come through the patch with their class. This year we expect to be able to serve

the same amount, if not more.

Schools continue to book with us because of the many years of great programs that this Patch has been able to offer their students

and that is because of all of the wonderful servants that have donated their time, talents and smiles! If you have served before you

already know what a rewarding ministry this is and if you have not been able to serve in the past, but can this year, please join us to

make this year’s Pumpkin Patch another success for our community.

Contact Corrina Robinson at 272-5731 or via e-mail at childrensministry@fumcowasso.org to find out more about how you can

serve in this year’s Outdoor Classroom or just sign-up to serve at the Pumpkin Patch Table located outside the church office.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped with the Sunday Brunch to benefit the Brandon Magalassi Me-morial Scholarship Foundation. The success of the brunch was due to your never-failing willingness to help prepare and serve food, decorate, clean up, etc, etc. We would also like to express our appreciation to all who donated to help raise funds for scholarships. It is only through your generous giving that we can continue to raise awareness about teen suicide through scholarships and education. With grateful hearts, The Board of the Brandon Magalassi Memorial Scholarship Foundation

Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day… Teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime.
