BLOOD DRIVE – Sunday March 7th - 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. In the US, about 4 million people need blood each year. That’s one person every two seconds, and the overwhelming majority of people who need it would die without it. Every donation makes a difference in someone’s life! Our church family’s response last September was tremendous, and our goal for March is 70 donors. Sign ups for donors, registration workers, and baked goodies for the donors will take place on the patio on Sundays February. 14, 21, and 28. You will also be able to sign up on-line. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Lynn Clements at 770-751-9728 or e-mail her at Lynnc104@comcast.net. |

Mission Committee Seeking New Additional Team Leader for Drake House
Northbrook has experienced wonderful success with our Drake House unit and the families we serve. Due to this success and our desire to serve our families better, we are in need of one more volunteer to assist with the Drake House. This person would assist our primary Drake House liaison with their duties such as helping organize for holiday deliveries and every day necessities, soliciting volunteers to prepare our unit for our families, and helping our family move and settle into their new home when they move out. The time commitment would be minimal, with ~ 5 hours/week being the maximum required during move in/out. Please contact Karen Powell @770-377-2691 or karen.powell@yahoo.com |

Mission trip to Kisumu, Kenya
Thank you to all who helped with contributions of supplies and monetary support for the Bible camp which was held in Kisumu, Kenya for 130 orphans. A special thank you to all of the children (and their parents) who attended the Northbrook VBS and collected $2,751.24 which was used to help with the cost of food, lodging and transportation for the three day camp. Lynn and Charles Clements, who helped with the camp conducted by Life For Children Ministry, arrived back in Roswell with many stories and pictures from their trip. They would love sharing their experiences with any small groups and Sunday School classes. They may be contacted at 770-751-9728. |

Roswell Job Networking Ministry
The focus of our ministry is tending to the needs of job seekers and career changers. We meet every second and fourth Monday evening. We begin at 6:00 PM with our program "Developing You Spiritual Resume." We provide a Free Dinner that is sponsored by companies and individuals who want to contribute to your search. A guest speaker will provide an insightful message, followed by small discussion groups. Then at 6:45 PM our Resume Guides (recruiters and professionals) will give you one-on-one feedback on your resume. We also offer information on our small group program (learn more at www.c3g.org) and many other networking opportunities. The main program begins at 7:30 PM and ends around 9:15 PM. We offer powerful guest speakers and programs that will provide practical strategies you can put to work the next day. Before you leave, take advantage of our Industry Guide program where you can select an employed church member to network with after the meeting. You are also invited to join our Yahoo Group and sign up for our free Daily Digest which includes local job openings and reminders of other Atlanta job networking meetings. We have also partnered with the Crossroads Career website, which offers best practices in a job search with the Key Six Steps. This vast resource is free to everyone because we have paid for your subscription as a service to you. You will need a membership key to log into the site as a career explorer. We provide these at no cost every meeting! We have one of the largest volunteer programs in the State of Georgia with over 110 employed volunteers offering their expertise and guidance. We are anxious to show you how we can help you personally in your job search. Join us to learn how to find the hidden jobs and obtain the skills necessary for a successful job search. Remember to keep God part of your job search. It makes no sense to do this alone!
Roswell Job Networking Ministry is held at Roswell United Methodist Church (RUMC) located at 814 Mimosa Boulevard in Roswell, Georgia. For directions and more information, check us out at www.RUMCjobnetworking.com. |

Making the
Most of Your Donations
The missions committee would like to help you
make the most of your donations to the church
and our community. Please follow these guidelines:
THE HANDPRINT BINS on the patio
are reserved for specific monthly donations drives
publicized through the church newsletter and bulletin.
FOOD should be taken directly
to North Fulton Community Charities on Elkins
Rd. except during the months of January and July
when Northbrook fills the pantry of NFCC and utilizes
the handprint bins on the church patio. During
other months, please take your food donations
to NFCC where they have a drive-thru donation
lane.
CLOTHING (gently used) should
also be taken directly to NFCC. These donations
will be given to clients in need of clothing or
sold through their thrift store. For your convenience,
there is a drive-thru donation lane with volunteers
who will assist you.
HOUSEHOLD ITEMS are also accepted
at NFCC. These would include new and gently used
bedding, towels, kitchen items, toys, small working
appliances and other household items. (Note: No
large appliances are accepted.)
Please, please do not leave donations that would
be more appropriate for Goodwill or North Fulton
Community Charities in the “handprint”
bins at church as this creates more work for the
members of the missions committee and may delay
the receipt of your donations to our local agencies. |
