Food Bank Sunday

We would like to bring back the focus of our first Sunday of

the month being FOOD BANK SUNDAY. There are so

many people who are just not able to make it thru the month

on whatever their income is and they need those foodbanks

just to survive. Can you help by bringing in a few cans or boxes of nonperishable food to share

or mark any financial donations “Food Bank”.

YTD Food Bank Totals - 208 pounds of food and $230

First Friday Feast

Friday October 4th is the first Friday of the month. We will be

taking the evening meal over to the youth at Coffee Oasis. We

serve a hot meal generally with Salad & dessert for the youth. If

you would like to help prepare the meal we meet here around 3:00pm. We would love to have

you join us! The more the merrier and it makes small work of everything. If you would prefer to

make a financial donation please mark it “Coffee Oasis”.

Thank you to all who participated with the Picnic and

Silent Auction. What a day! With all your help by

bringing in donations of items as well as spreading

the word to family and friends we were able to raise

just over $5,000.00 to help pay for the new roof

Special thanks to Shannon Davidson, Bob Vukich,

Wayne and Wendy Stowsand, Steve Atkinson,

Marci Woods, and Don and Katherin Janssen

World Mental Health Day

on October 10 (also my birthday). The theme for 2019 is

Preventing Suicide.

Here in Kathmandu we are organizing a 10k Fun Run on

October 1 to raise awareness that 1 in 4 Nepalese are affected

by mental health problems and to encourage people to get

help. Nepal’s female suicide rate is the 3rd highest in the world

and this is the country's leading cause of death among women

of reproductive age (15-49 years). This is a global health issue

that touches many families, mine included. Will you join me

this year in raising awareness to prevent suicide around the

world?

Tuesdays at 2:00pm Here at

With warmth and sensitivity, this

study explores those barren,

difficult times when we feel alone

and desperate and shows how we

can emerge stronger and closer to

God than ever.

If you shop online please sign up at iGive and

shop thru them. All you have to do is go to them

first and then to your store, it’s that simple, then

TUMC gets a donation because of your

purchase.
