Help Haiti Now
Our United Methodist Committee on Relief - UMCOR - will deliver
thousands of health kits to the people of Haiti, if we help.
We ask our RUMC families to assemble and bring to church by
Sunday, February 7
, as many Health Kits as you can provide.
SEE A SAMPLE KIT AT THE REAR OF THE SANCTUARY
HEALTH KIT CONTENTS (VALUE ABOUT $12.00)
Place these items inside a sealed one-gallon clear plastic bag.
1 hand towel (15" x 25" up to 17" x 27", no kitchen towels)
1 washcloth
1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
1 nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers)
1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper, no child-size)
6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
Please include $1 for each kit you send toward the purchase of toothpaste.
NOTE: UMCOR Sager Brown is now purchasing toothpaste in bulk to be added to health kits before shipping to ensure that the product does not expire before it is sent.
Important Kit Assembly Information
All items included in kits must be NEW items.
All emergency kits are carefully planned to make them usable in the greatest number of
situations. Since strict rules often govern product entry into international countries, it is
important that kits contain only the requested items - nothing more.
Do NOT include any personal notes, money (OTHER THAN THE $1) or additional materials in the kits. These things must be painstakingly removed and will delay the shipment.

SUNDAY SCHOOL MISSION PROJECT A SUCCESS!
NEW PROJECT BEGINS
Our three-month mission project to support the Baby Basics program of Children's Aid and Family Services was a success! All told, the Sunday School children donated 2,251 diapers; 4,440 wipes; 300 ounces of formula; 19 bottles of shampoo, baby wash, lotion and powder; a car seat, clothing and pacifier. Monetary contributions totaling $447.29 will be used to purchase these needed supplies as well. We appreciate your contributions and the generous support of the entire congregation.
We now are pleased to announce our new mission project: supplying birthday bags for the Social Service Association of Ridgewood and Vicinity. To kick-off this project, the children of K-3 will be collecting items for a birthday bag for a local 1-year-old boy. The children in grades 4-6 will be collecting goodies for a nine-year-old boy. Both children are from families currently receiving social service assistance.
We hope you agree that this is a worthwhile program and will help our children continue to understand that it is part of Christian living to support those less fortunate than themselves. With this project, the children can take special pride in the fact that all contributions will come from them (not the congregation as a whole).

Care for the environment and feed the hungry at the same time. CUMAC ECHO needs food and bags. So put some groceries in one of those reusable canvas bags (sacks as we say out West) and bring them to church. We will bring them to Paterson and with one swoop we have helped the planet and the people who live on it. And the Holy Spirit like a dove descended

Do We Make a Difference? You Bet We Do!
Sometimes, after spending so much of our personal time, effort and yes – money, we
wonder whether the work we have done has had any impact at all. Certainly, that is
one factor that causes each of us to hesitate when asked to contribute to church
activities and leadership. But if you think that way, that there is little return
for the effort, that no one really cares, then we challenge you to look at the faces
of our pre-school and Sunday school youngsters, to those of our older members when
we share education or luncheons, or those of the homeless when we share supper in
Hackensack or an evening with them in Ridgewood. Take some time to learn more
about the impact that RUMC has in the area and in our Missionary support! Yes,
we do make a difference. And the next time you are called on to help, think about
this and say "Yes”. Believe us, it is all worth it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do You Make a Difference? You Bet You Do!
Whatever your personal interests are, we have a home for you! Some of us are
cooks! Some of us enjoy knitting. Others enjoy a good book and friends with
which to discuss it. Can you lift 200 pounds? Well, maybe not by yourself, but
when joined by nine other people, each only has to lift 20 pounds and you can
do that!
Do you want to contribute energy to defeat human trafficking and slavery of
women and children around the world? If so, this is the place to be (click
here to read more and to download
a printable flyer!). Do you want to help build a house? We do that, too!
Some people think that choirs are only made up of trained singers, but
remember the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is made of no professional singers, only
120 people who enjoy bringing song to the world! Yes, you do make a
difference and we can help make your dreams come true! Come join us
for a week or two and enjoy our camaraderie!
