MISSION AND FAITH IN
​OUR COMMUNITY 

​Red Cross Blood Drive: ​

God Moments at Marble on January 23rd Marble experienced many “God Moments” on Wednesday, January 23rd. Despite the icy conditions all around Milan, Marble and the Red Cross recorded one of our most successful blood drives ever. We had 30 donors try and 28 pints of blood collected! Something this important and successful cannot happen without God and the volunteers who make it happen. On the morning of the blood drive we had icy roads and an icy parking lot, we experienced an ignition light go out on the boiler, and the Red Cross was minus one of their volunteers due to the roads – so many things working against us! God stepped in and made it all happen and what a success! Thank you to everyone who donated, to everyone who wanted to but couldn’t get into town, to everyone who came in at the last minute, to everyone who braved the conditions to work, and to all who called the church to check on us! We always need YOU and we most assuredly always need GOD to make these times successful!

​Our United Methodist Women
​and the Oaks of Righteousness in Monroe ​

Many here at Marble have supported or volunteered with the United Methodist Women’s projects for the Oaks of Righteousness Mission in Monroe. The numbers are something to build on and to thank God for! In 2018 our United Methodist Women served two meals at the Oaks. This involves planning, prepping, and cooking the food, transporting it, securing enough volunteers to serve it and to clean up. Each meal has fed at least 70 local residents each time. Our UMW has held other projects for the Oaks, like collecting purses and personal items for the women served by the mission.

​Reaching out, at all times, is a God thing and something we are called to do in service in Christ’s name. We are grateful to our UMW for leading the way here at Marble and expanding our definition of community. ​
