Welcome to Lawrence United Methodist Church

As a community of faith, the church is called to live in the Presence of the Mystery of God whose inclusive grace moves us to embrace all people.

We are called to love the world as God loves it, following the way of Jesus, sensitive to the winds of the Spirit, ever seeking to discern the Word of God in the biblical tradition, and the Movement of God in the context of our culture.

We are called to look through the window to God in the face of Christ Jesus.

We are called to become a community of open minds, open hearts and open doors where the broken can find healing, the doubting learn to trust, the anxious find peace, and the strong are confirmed, ever trusting God...the God of the beginning...the God of the end...the God with us in the meantime...

WHAT IS NEEDED NOW FOR HAITI?

The United Methodist Committee on relief is now receiving donations for earthquake relief and recovery in Haiti following the deadly earthquake there. Online donations can be received at www.umcor.org. To make special offering gifts for relief efforts in Haiti, make your check payable to Lawrence UMC and put HAITI EMERGENCY in the memo line.

100% of gifts given to the Haiti Emergency will be used for earthquake relief and recovery in Haiti.

United Methodists have had a long-standing relationship with Haiti through the Methodist Church of Haiti. The strong ties between the Methodist Church of Haiti and UMCOR helped in facilitating the opening of the UMCOR Haiti field office in 2005.

LaKisha Reed, Associate Director of Mission and Advocacy at the Indiana Conference, tells us that money is needed right now for the Haiti Emergency Relief. There will be a great need for volunteers to help rebuild once the initial crisis has settled. At this time, it is not safe or possible for volunteers to go to Haiti. In order to frame a response that is consistent with the churches’ needs, people wishing to volunteer should contact LeKisha Reed at lekisha.reed@inumc.org or 317-924-1321.

UMCOR Sager Brown is coordinating a shipment of health kits to provide individuals with basic necessities. Instructions for assembling and shipping health kits are available at  http://new.gbgm-umc.org/umcor/getconnected/supplies/.

Please pray for all of the people affected by the earthquake in Haiti. Thank you for your faithful support for all of God's children.
