Children, Clinics, and Churches

Three C's Initiative

Bishop John Hopkins has asked all churches to support his emphasis of churches, clinics, and classrooms. A worthwhile project for Rockporters to support is to help the West Africa Central Conference. In Liberia, at the Camphor United Methodist School, the need is great for aid to teachers, school supplies for the children, and scholarships to students who are unable to pay school tuition. A gift, no matter how small, will greatly help the children at the Camphor United Methodist School. Mark your check advance # 12548A and drop it in the offering plate or send it to the church office.

BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR CHILDREN

Rockport UMC, in cooperation with Rockport Early Childhood Center, will be collecting school supplies for children in need beginning in August. These supplies will be distributed directly to schools in the Cleveland area. A collection box will be in the hallway and you can place your donations there. All types of school supplies are needed--crayons, pencils, markers, rulers, glue sticks, notebook paper, etc.

A small gift can make a difference in the life of a child and the life-giving message it offers goes beyond its monetary value. All children are our richest resource. Let's join together to provide school supplies--the "tools" for learning to children in need.
