What is E1G1?

Every 1 Give 1 is our way of focusing our mission emphasis so we can make a greater impact on our world. We will collect items or money for one mission or ministry group each month. Ministries chosen as E1G1 focus ministries represent our church needs, local and regional organizations, as well as national and international organizations.

How You Can Help

Check in with our E1G1 team on Sunday mornings to find out how you can contribute to our monthly mission project.

 

 

 

 

2012 E1G1 Calendar

FEBRUARY: RUSSIA VOLUNTEERS IN MISSION TEAM

The trip to visit boarding School No. 5 in Kursk, south of Moscow, has two purposes: (1) to develop relationships with the staff, children, and community through crafts, games, and home visits, and (2) to help the boarding school through work projects.

MARCH: GRACE’S GROUP

This interfaith ministry of Greater Cleveland provides support for homeless families as they work with social agencies to become independent and contributing members in a local community.

To increase social interaction in a setting where they learn that God loves them just as they are, developmentally challenged individuals gather monthly for crafts and snacks, and attend three dances throughout the year.

JULY: ALTERNATOR

By providing education and quality care for pregnant women and their families, Alternaterm works to save the lives of babies who might have been aborted, and also shares the good news of Jesus Christ.

AUGUST: COMMUNITY DINNERS

What comfort to know there is a hot meal at the end of the month – not only for those on a tight budget, but also for folks alone and in need of some companionship.

SEPTEMBER: HEARTLAND CHILDCARE CENTER

Children from the community are ministered to in a weekday program that offers a secure, high-quality, Christian learning environment year-round.

OCTOBER: UNITED METHODIST WOMEN

United Methodist Women focus on collecting donations to help purchase Tools and Blankets.  These items are purchased in bulk and sent to areas of poverty or disaster.

NOVEMBER: ANGEL TREE

Gifts for children (an article of clothing, and a toy), are purchased and delivered along with a short message from their parent in prison, as a reminder that they are loved and have not been forgotten.

DECEMBER: PEACE WITH JUSTICE

As the congregation becomes aware of social injustices in the world, funds are used for projects such as Heifer International, where families are guided toward self-reliance through sustainable farming and training in animal care.
