*NEW* Men's Bible Study
Monday nights @ 6:30pm in Family Life Center
A NEW Men's Bible Study is tentatively scheduled to begin on April 13th. It will meet on Mondays @ 6:00pm.
The course study will be “Heaven” presented by: Rev. R.C. Sproul. In teaching His disciples about heaven, Jesus said, “I go to prepare a place for you.” But what did Jesus mean? In this series, R.C. Sproul provides clear teaching about heaven, explaining that Christians have the greatest hope - the hope of glory. In examining Scripture, he shows that heaven is the home of God’s chosen people, the church.
All men are invited to join in on this enlightening series. A sign-up sheet is located in the Narthex or for more information, contact Jay Arnold

Sager Brown - UMCOR
Purpose of Sager Brown
In 1992, Hurricane Andrew hit the coast of south Louisiana causing major damage to the area around Baldwin, La. UMCOR came to the area with volunteers and supplies and used the old Sager Brown campus to stage their operations. After two years, UMCOR determined that the Sager Brown Campus would be an excellent location to build an UMCOR depot where disaster relief could be collected and provided to the world. The depot opened in 1996.
The campus today is a living, working monument to over a century of United Methodist mission. UMCOR is a leader in service for the UMC to those who are hungry, displaced, sick or in poverty because of natural or human-made disasters. UMCOR serves in 81 countries of the world. Each year more that 3,000 volunteers come to USB to work in the UMCOR Depot or in service to the community of Baldwin, La., to help make a difference for people who are suffering.
