BLANKET "Plus"
PROGRAM Because a Blanket Makes a Big Difference
Oh how good a warm blanket feels! All of us know the feeling. A blanket can ease pain,
up-lift spirits and make the world seem brighter. Earthquakes, tsunami storms, tornados, and other natural
disasters have devastated areas around the world. In such situations blankets become a tool of survival.
Here at Wesley United Methodist Church we have recognized the need and heard the plea from
Church World Service. The United Methodist Church is a great
provider of blankets through UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief.) and our church is doing its share to ensure
that blankets will be there when needed.
 For only
$5.00 a blanket, you can help to warm another human being in great need. Show your passion and care by giving one
or more blankets. Make a difference when it really counts. Even though we have an annual event to focus on
blankets, you don't have to wait till then. If you wish to contribute right now, just call the church office
(573-893-2556) and we'll tell you how to make your contribution right away. Blanket Sunday is February 21, 2010
Special envelopes for blankets are made available during our yearly Blanket Sunday. However, the
envelopes are also available from the church office throughout the year. |

BLANKET SUNDAY
The Wesley church family collected $1,215 at our most recent Blanket Sunday (March 9, 2008).
Those funds will purchase 243 blankets!
Thank you for your gracious giving response to this church-wide mission project. We rejoice
and give thanks for God's provisions to us so we may give and share with those in need. |
