Greater NJ Annual Conference Media Center
Our March 2010 Celebration of Found Coins (Barrel Offering) will be designated for the Greater New Jersey Annual Conference Media Center. Located in our Conference Office Center in Ocean Twp, the Media Center offers an extensive library of audio-visual resources for the use of our local United Methodist churches. Centenary has made extensive use of the Media Center for many years in our educational ministries, especially in our Sunday Morning Adult Study. Our gifts this month will cover the cost of our annual membership and enable the Media Center to purchase some additional resources to strengthen its ministries with our churches.

One Great Hour of Sharing
Special Offering on Sunday, March 14, 2010
When the first tremors of the earthquake in Haiti rocked that island nation, UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) staff were already in country, strategizing how United Methodists could help improve the lives of the people there. Shortly after last weekend’s earthquake in Chile, UMCOR personnel were on the ground working with local Methodist clergy and laity to respond with assistance. Their work is a direct result of the One Great Hour of Sharing Offering, which supports the operating expenses of those who bring healing and help in our name. It makes it possible, when we respond to emergencies like those in Haiti & Chile, to know that 100% of our gift goes directly to where the suffering is happening. Every year, but this year more than ever, we hope you’ll join with the faithful across the church to support the One Great Hour of Sharing special offering this Sunday. Special brochures and offering envelopes were included in your March Lamplighter, and will be included in your Worship bulletins on Sunday. Thank you!
