Epworth-Euclid is in covenant relationship with David and Kristin Markay, missionaries, and in partnership with Mt. Sinai Methodist Church in Mexico City.

You, Too, Can Participate in Missions

By purchasing coffee, tea or cocoa from E-E United Methodist Women, you can support the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). The funds generated by the sale of these Equal Exchange Fairly Traded products support UMCOR’s mission to help farmers in Latin America, Africa and Asia earn a fairer share of income by buying directly from the farmers, by providing credit that farmers can afford and by encouraging ecologically sustainable farming practices. Be a part of this “Mini-Mission” by purchasing one or more of these organic beverages for your enjoyment. See the UMW representative during Fellowship Time after church service. These also make wonderful gifts— remember Christmas is just around the corner!

Your e-mail address can help save our church money. By supplying your e-mail to the church office, you will then receive meeting notices, etc., by e-mail thus saving postage, printing and paper costs. This also saves resources such as our valuable trees. Please send your e-mail to the office at staff@epworth-euclid.org.

You may have noticed that we now have available space for one regular-sized ad or two small ads in the Outlook. If you have a service you would like to advertise, please contact the church office for details. These ads help defray a small portion of our Outlook expenses.

Support Relief Efforts Through UMCOR

Members and friends of Epworth-Euclid Church are reminded and encouraged to support the programs of the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). The greatest need now is MONEY. Checks should be made out to Epworth-Euclid United Methodist Church, with “UMCOR” on the memo line, and dropped in the offering plate or mailed to the church office. The contributions received each Sunday will be mailed from the church each Monday, minimizing the delay in getting the money where it is needed. Be well assured, 100% of every dollar goes for the relief efforts. All administrative costs are paid by another arm of the mission enterprise of the United Methodist Church.

UMCOR responds to natural or civil disasters that are interruptions of such magnitude that they overwhelm a community's ability to recover on its own. UMCOR's work on behalf of United Methodists is global and includes countries in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, the Caribbean. UMCOR serves in long-term disaster recovery in the US.

The immediate goal of UMCOR's international and domestic emergency response programs is to provide relief and rehabilitation for the entire person-physical, social, and psychological-in a distress situation.

UMCOR always works to enable those affected by disasters to take responsibility for relief and recovery work. Wherever possible, UMCOR forms partnerships with other religious and secular organizations to pool resources and avoid duplicating efforts.

UMCOR provides long-term recovery as well as immediate relief. Recognizing that disasters cause disruptions that can last for years and often create permanent changes in people's lives, UMCOR works within a community to address the long-term effects of a disaster and assist people in rebuilding and adjusting to change.

Domestic Disaster Response

UMCOR maintains a corps of trained disaster response specialists for quick reinforcement of local efforts, and it keeps a supply of relief materials in warehouses for dispatch when and where required.

International Disaster Response

When disaster strikes outside of the US-whether a natural or human-made disaster- UMCOR serves as the primary channel for United Methodist assistance. UMCOR moves in concrete ways to ease human suffering and do whatever possible to restore normal life.
