Luke 2.10 "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." This annual project supports Metrocrest Social Services by donating Christmas gifts of toys and clothing to assist families in the community. Members select paper angels from the Angel Tree, each angel notes the age and gender of a child and a gift suggestion list. Metrocrest uses these donated items at their holiday store where qualifying families select Christmas gifts for other family members.

| News from San Juan, Guatemala |
|
On July 4, 2008 I traveled to San Juan, Guatemala with members from University Park UMC. Our project was to get one step closer to converting an abandoned church into a medical/dental clinic. The main things we did were to put in a ceiling and to stucco the walls. We finished the ceiling but the walls will take another team to finish. I am going back in September, 2008 with members from Holy Covenant. We will be working on the same project, possibly finishing the walls and putting in a floor. Guatemala is a beautiful country with wonderful people. I am excited about returning and bringing people from our church who have responded to God's call to help His people. Shalom, Dawnie |

(NRSV) "Africa University has been built (planted), and I am hoping and praying that we, the North Texas Conference, will be Apollos, by watering the plant, but always mindful that it is God who give the growth." | |
