Did You Know? The RUMC Foundation is at work enabling missionary work across the street and around the world?
The Foundation’s Board of Directors recently approved grants to:
-
provide funding for our annual Community Thanksgiving Meal for local families who are homeless or in transitional housing,
-
help cover expenses for our middle school students’ summer mission camp that focuses on serving those in need within our community,
-
sponsor HomeStretch’s upcoming Run the River road race,
-
purchase medications and medical supplies (such as vision testing equipment, reading glasses, and dental supplies) for RUMC’s upcoming medical mission trip to Peru,
-
provide more than 300 Bibles in the Ashaninka language for distribution by our missionaries to villagers in remote portions of Peru (this will be the first time a Bible will be available to them in their native tongue), and
-
help fund this summer’s high school mission trip to Divine Providence Training Center in Kenya – including covering the costs of the trip’s on-ground ministry activities (such as orphanage visits, two service days, a VBS day, a sports camp, etc.), and the participants’ travel visa costs.
Mission-related endowment investment earnings as well as unendowed Foundation Missions funds made support of these RUMC mission trips, partners, and events possible.
Did You Know? The RUMC Foundation is at work improving and protecting your church’s campus?
The Foundation’s Board of Directors recently approved grants to:
1. purchase a defibrillator for the lower level of “A” building,
2. replace very old, well-worn custodial equipment as well as the tables in the dining room and B229, and
3. purchase a rolling platform for our Sanctuary pipe organ console that will enable it to be moved as needed to accommodate our different worship services and Sanctuary activities without damaging the instrument.
Investment earnings during 2012 from The Foundation’s Smiley Family, Facilities, and Joan Wheeler Hagan endowment funds made these generous and needed contributions possible. The endowment dollars from each of these funds remain intact and are invested to generate more income during 2013.
