NicaSwings.com Jazmina helps make the Multi-Color Hammocks and Swing Chairs at NicaSwings.Com. Jazmina, her husband Rodolfo, and their 6 children moved to Friends of Project Chacocente from the Managua city dump to make a better a life for their family. Her husband Rodolfo works hard and rides a bicycle 24 miles round trip each day to his job in Managua. (So, think twice before complaining about your commute in an air conditioned car.) Jazmina uses the money from hammock sales at NicaSwings.Com to support her family.

United Methodist Women Mission Moments
From a "crutch" to a tool, from a job to a calling, learning of God's grace, mercy and love through The United Methodist Church and my deaconess experience brought my life full circle. Now in my administrative role I am privileged to be part of many ministries and feel competent to relate to others through my personal experiences. Elaine M.

to notify your church or pastor.
A Special Message for Summer Travelers
Would you find it helpful to have your offerings debited directly from your bank account as you probably do with other obligations? Troy First UMC offers electronic giving for those of you who wish to have contributions transferred electronically to the church’s account. If you have plans to travel this summer,
electronic giving gives you a convenient way to keep up with your intended offerings. Visit our website at www.troyfumc.org.
Thank You! We want to thank the congregation for their prayers, their support, and the meals you have provided. Ozzie & Gail Haddad Thank you for your gift of $600 to help support the mission of Hospice of Miami County. As your local, non-profit hospice, for more than 31 years we have made quality hospice care available and accessible to terminally ill persons and their families. The gifts and support we receive from you enables us to make this treasure of time possible for these families. Susan Walker Hemm
We extend a warm welcome to all our visitors today!
