Great Plains Conference Women’s Retreat
October 5-7, 2012
Courtyard by Marriott
Salina, KS

Our theme Life In Christ…Good to the Last Drop! will offers insight into the rich and satisfying life built on Christ. As a woman, don’t you feel enriched after visiting with a friend over a cup of coffee? Could your relationship with Christ be richer? Do you feel you could use more grounds (scrip¬ture), more warmth (God’s love), more sweet¬ener (Holy Spirit)? Learn how to over¬come the daily grind, perk up your Chris¬t¬ian life, be firmly grounded in Christ and enjoy the rich fullness found in the body of believers.

Our speaker, Janell Rardon, is an international speaker and author who combines her relentless love of research and study with a passion for people, making every event…no matter how big or small…memorable. Audiences are delighted, entertained, and transformed by her energetic, engaging, entertaining, enthusiastic, and empowering presentations.

Dedication of new Save ‘N Share Location

Posted on April 16, 2012 by admin

Churches United in Ministry (an organization of local churches) will dedicate its new building (several units on the 200 block of South Main) on Sunday afternon, April 22, 2012. The building incldes the new Save ‘N Share store as well as Ministry offices. Between 2:00 and 3:00 you can tour the facilities, make cash donations, learn about volunteering, and enjoy light refreshments. At 3:00 a short program will take place with dedication of the building by representatives of area churches. Please join us to celebrate and dedicate.

Churches United in Ministry was founded in 1968 to minister to the needs of individuals in McPherson County. The primary source of funds comes from the sale of goods through Save ‘N Share. To date, the store has raised more than $1,000,000. Programs supported by Churches United In Ministry include transient support distributed through the McPherson Police Department, distribution of fans, utility support, and programs to assist individuals who fall between the cracks of other programs. The office also administers Salvation Army Funds which are collected locally. In addition, they administer two grants from the McPherson County Foundation as well as specific small ministries from several member churches.

Because of these programs, Churches United in Ministry represents Jesus to those in need in the county. Twice last year the organization fuded the travel of an escort to accompany minors who needed to travel to or from California to take up residence with a new guardian. It provided housing to individuals stranded in the middle of the night and gas to individuals in need of gas to go to out of town doctor’s appointments. Once last year a family was moving to Idaho and had car trouble in town. At the same time one of the family members experienced a medical crisis. Through the ministry offices, the family’s needs were met and they were able to resume their journey.

Truly, Churches United in Ministry through the proceeds of Save ‘N Share are the hands and feet of Jesus to those in need in McPherson County. Please join us on April 22.
