Sponsored Christmas Parties
Farmerville UMC treated Vaughan house boys to a wonderful Christmas party with
lots of food. Each of the youth were given an overnight tote, and a stocking filled with
goodies and a nice sports watch. We do appreciate Farmerville UMC for the great party
as well as the school supplies they donated for our Howard School on campus.
In keeping with our tradition, we took 13 youth and 6 staff to Hodge UMC for a hot
dog supper. After the meal everyone gathered in the church to listen to the story of the
Christmon ornaments. Our youth then decorated the tree with the ornaments. It was
a beautiful sight to see! The youth each received a $25.00 gift card. After the party, we
toured the town to see the beautiful Christmas Lights! A wonderful evening was had by all!
Everett house went to Trinity UMC for the Junior Auxiliary sponsored Christmas party. The youth enjoyed arts and crafts, pizza, and
refreshments. Each girl was given a $25.00 gift card, a throw blanket, stocking with lots of goodies, and a bath set. We appreciate them
for doing this wonderful party for the girls!
Reception center went to Louisiana Tech’s newly renovated Intramural Center. The youth enjoyed playing basketball, skating, ping pong,
and bowling. They were treated to pizza and were able to visit with the Freshman Baseball team members and coaches. The youth were
given baseballs signed by the players and stockings. Thank you so much for an awesome party and wonderful time spent with our youth!!
The Clinton family hosted a social for Shelley house boys. They fried turkey and had all the fixings. They played tailgate golf, horse
shoes, and decorated the tree with ornaments to eat (candy). They helped decorate the outside of Shelley house with lights. Each youth
got a stocking filled with gift cards and stickers designed just for them by a man that designs logo's for race cars. Everyone had a great
day! Cookie tins of homemade cookies were left by Santa to all the good boys. We appreciate the Clinton family for all that they did in
memory of Sandy Clinton. Sandy loved the Children’s home and would have been so
proud of what the family is doing each year.
Inside
CAB had a wonderful party with gifts, stockings
and lots of good refreshments including pizza. We held
separate parties for the girls and boys. All the youth
were very proud of the gifts and enjoyed visiting with
members of the Kiwanis and Louisiana Tech Circle K
clubs. The Circle K club gave each
youth a movie pass with popcorn,
a gift card to McDonalds, and a
stocking full of goodies. The
stockings were made by Heritage
Quilt Club and the Piney Hills Quilt
club. These were great parties for

President's
Message
A Year for the History Books
What a year of mixed blessings 2008 has been.
It is certainly a year for the History Books as far as
Louisiana United Methodist Children and Family Services is concerned.
The date of February 18, 2008 records the completion of the transition
of the Methodist Home for Children of New Orleans from Washington
Street in New Orleans to the Methodist Home for Children of Greater
New Orleans at 23515 Hwy 190, Mandeville, LA. The mixed blessing
being that two separate ministries became one while it was no
longer possible for the one to continue. In fact, in becoming one
the wholeness that resulted will be an even greater Blessing for
countless children and families that will benefit from the new
history being created.
The entire year of 2008 was a time when the wilderness of the
Outdoor Wilderness Learning Center was transferred to a Natural
Gas Production Field. With a drilling site every forty acres, the
roadways and pipeline right-of-ways, that campus has undergone
a major change. Indeed the revenue generated from the compensation
for the right-of-ways, drilling sites and timber were indeed welcome
during a year of such dire financial uncertainty. Yet the campus
has been changed forever. The willingness of the drilling company
to compromise on the location of the drilling pads and right-of-ways
was a blessing allowing us to maintain programming integrity of
the facilities. Of the 22 wells drilled, the Home has rights to a fraction
of the production of 6 of those wells. The other 16 we realize no
additional revenue benefits. Many of our friends believe that we
are flushed in revenues.
The truth is the royalty
rights were sold in the
late 40s and production
was kept alive throughout
the years resulting in no
royalty benefits to us for most
of the new drilling. Someday
production will cease and the
wilderness will be reclaimed.
Hurricanes Gustav and Ike did
come through our State, ravaging
resources and destroying much of the recovery
from Katrina and Rita. Our donor base once
again has been impacted and yet in spite of
that and the other economic factors that have
seemingly exploded on us these last several
months, we are on track to almost match our
annual donations required to remain at current level of services.
We pray for God’s Blessings on 2009 that we will be able to
weather this Historical Storm and be able to respond to the
children who need the safety and security of our care.
“God’s Will Be Done,” may all we do be in “His Honor” and we trust
our partners in ministry will continue to help our Special Children.
In His Service

is excited to announce our first ever Distinguished Speakers
Forum. Hugh G. Aynesworth will be our speaker for a
Fund-raising dinner to be held on Saturday, March 21st, 2009.

Hugh G. Aynesworth is an award-winning American
journalist. He was the lead reporter for the Dallas Morning
News at the time of the John F. Kennedy assassination
and was the first print reporter to interview Lee Harvey
Oswald's widow, Marina Oswald. He later became a
true-crime author, co-writing the books The Only Living
Witness and Conversations with a Killer about serial
killer Ted Bundy.
our youth, who enjoyed them very much!
Harman House traveled to Grace UMC where they were treated
to crafts, pizza, games, stockings and lots of goodies to eat. The
Christmas story was read and gifts of favorite P.J's were given to
each youth. Harman House youth also received a new TV for
their house!! Everyone enjoyed the party, and we really appreciate
the member’s of Kappa Delta Sorority of Louisiana Tech, and the
Scott, Watson & Lynch Circle of Grace UMC for hosting this party.
C.B. White and Shelly house youth went to St. Paul's UMC for
Christmas sponsored parties. Each house was treated to a wonderful
party with lots of wonderful food, games, and gifts. Each youth
was given a $25.00 gift card and each house was treated to a nice
house gift. We do appreciate Troy Luttgeharm, our Director of
Family Plus and all of his church friends for treating us.
Thanks once again to Chef Ronelle Lenoir for traveling from South
Louisiana to cook Christmas lunch for our youth and staff. This
is a special treat for everyone and we are so blessed to have such a
dedicated volunteer. This is Chef Lenoir’s 8th year of volunteering
his time and culinary skills to us on Christmas day.
We are blessed to have such great sponsors for our Christmas
parties and events!! Each and every party was such a special
opportunity for our youth. We are so grateful to all of our
wonderful sponsors!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the LMCH
Recreation Department!
Aynesworth will be speaking about the assassination of
John F. Kennedy. His book JFK: Breaking the News, released
in 2003 on the 40th anniversary of the JFK assassination,
was recently featured in the PBS/BBC special “Oswald’s
Ghost,” shown nationwide along with historian Robert
Dallek, Dan Rather, Gary Hart, and Norman Mailer.
Among Aynesworth’s many accomplishments are six
nominations for the Pulitzer Prize. He was a finalist four
of those times. He has received more than 70 local, state
and national awards including Headliners, Dallas Press
Club Katies, and regional and national AP and UPI awards.

Our Annual Mother’s Day offering is coming soon. We will continue

your donations are very important to us and to the daily success
of our ministry and we feel your money is better used to fund
our programs for the children and families we serve. The annual
offering will be taken on Mother’s Day, May 10, 2009.

The BUZZ
from Dr. Bob
Dr. Robert W. Flournoy,
Director of Major Gifts & Planned Giving
Big Need for Vo-Tech Program
I have written in earlier issues to inform you about the Vo-Tech
Program at the Children’s Home. Recent events have placed the
Vo-Tech Program in jeopardy.
Here’s a brief summary of our Vo-Tech Program:
When youth in our care reach the age of 18, state law requires us to
release them from our care. They must begin living independently.
We try to help them furnish and find a place to stay, but they are
pretty much on their own to find income. There needed to be a better
way of sending them out into the world, one that would better secure
their productive future. The idea of a campus Vo-Tech Program was
born to teach skills such as carpentry, welding, barbering, and
culinary skills. With the help of our local legislators and securing
a grant, we began the program in the fall of 2007. Currently, there
are 17 youth enrolled in the construction technology curriculum
and 4 enrolled in barbering apprentice curriculum. The enthusiasm
is very high among our youth. So far, we have had two youth who
aged-out of our care and local contractors have hired both. Our
Vo-Tech Program is a win-win situation. Just think what a blessing
for our youth to learn a trade so they can find a job for more than
minimum wage and pay taxes, instead of being a burden to taxpayers.
In addition to MCH youth, we envision youth from other institutions
coming to our campus for vo-tech training.
Now, here’s the recent news causing the program to be in
jeopardy: The current facility for the Vo-Tech Program does
not meet the new state building codes, and this news is of
great concern for us. To keep the program operating we will
have to immediately construct a building compartmentalized
with a separate training room for each skill and specialized
needs for specific training, such as welding.
We have funding for the Vo-Tech Program through June 2009
(tools and staff), but we do not have the funds to construct the
required building; however, architects are currently working
on a plan estimated to be at a building cost of $2 million. Our
annual budget doesn’t allow for capital expenditures and the
state doesn’t provide funds for building costs.
Bottom line: If you believe like I do that we are on the right
path to offer a vo-tech program, give me a call at 318-243-4325
to let me know you will help us with underwriting the cost
of construction. We need big dollars. But
those dollars will produce big dividends
by giving our youth an opportunity
to learn a skill and become
productive citizens. Our
youth need this program
and we need you to help
us offer it to them.
Circle of Friends
A nnual Fund
What is the Circle of Friends?
The Circle of Friends was created in 2004 by the Louisiana
Methodist Children’s Home Board of Directors as an Annual
Fund. Its purpose is to allow individuals and businesses to
financially partner with the Home in the holistic treatment
of abused and neglected youth. In addition, the Annual Fund
gives the Home a steady financial resource.
Who can join the Circle of Friends?
Individuals, businesses, Sunday School classes, small groups,
United Methodist Men and Women’s groups, civic organizations,
churches, schools, and foundations are just some of the members
of this generous group of donors.
When do I join?
Anytime, but the month of January is the best time to join and
renew membership. Generally speaking, financial gifts to the
Home decrease at the first of the year, but our expenses remain
the same. By receiving memberships at the beginning of the
year, the Home has a more constant income. Members may join
at a certain level, but pay monthly throughout the year.
What are the benefits of the Circle?
The youth in our care benefit from the food, clothing, school
supplies, medicine, recreation, and educational instruction the
funds supply. Donors benefit because they become part of a
trusted agency that gives youth the chance for a better life.

I am thankful for…
By D.T.
Thankfulness
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! His faithful
love endures forever. —I Chronicles 16:34
Students in Arlene Banks class supplemented their Social
Studies unit with a study of a variety of Native Americans.
Students also had the opportunity to study about Squanto
and the Pilgrims, as well as how our National Thanksgiving
Day originated.
During the program, students shared their creative writings
which began “I am thankful for…” Each student received
a treat bag for a job well done. Several members of the
Home’s administration attended the program and the students
presented them with gifts showing their thankfulness
for all they do for them and the Home.
We would like to share with you two of the students
writings. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did!

Update…MCH
CAB (Changing Attitudes and Behaviors)
The last week in October was eventful for C.A.B. youth. We hosted
a football camp for the boys and a cheerleader camp for the girls.
The C.A.B. team’s name was the Tigers. Every day the girls practiced
their cheers and the guys practiced football plays. The week ended
with a fun pep rally for the Tigers before their big game against
the Vaughn house youth. The guys decorated shirts for their big
game day. The ladies made banners and goodie bags for our Tiger
football players. After the awesome, spirited pep rally, the youth
paraded down to the field. They ran through a Tony the Tiger banner
while the "Eye of the Tiger" played in the background. The Tigers
defeated their opponents and paraded back to the building where a
bar-b-cue was held in everyone's honor. Our cheer coach, Ms. Laquasha
Craft, worked hard with the youth. Several other staff sponsored
snacks for our girls. The ladies also performed a cheer routine at
the 1st Wednesday meeting in the chapel. The Tiger team was lead
by head coaches, Jamie Sims, Jamonte Bailey, Jason Knighten, and
Supervisor Greg Goldsmith. Other assisting coaches were Harold
Madison and Keith Williams.
4-H Talent Show
A Talent Show for all local 4-H Youth was held on our Ruston
campus of LMCH. The event was held in our chapel on Saturday,
October 11th. Many of our youth participated in the talent
show and did very well. We had youth place 1st in Senior Dance,
2nd in Senior Dance, and 3rd in Senior Dance. These youth
were awarded trophies and ribbons.
Thanksgiving Dinner
The Henning Conference Center was again the site for our
annual Thanksgiving Dinner this year. On November 20th,
LMCH staff and youth all gathered for a traditional
Thanksgiving meal together. It
was a treat for the
staff to get to bring
their families to
celebrate this special
time of year with the
youth and co-workers
that they see on a
daily basis. As always,
Kathy Modest and
the dietary staff here
at LMCH provided
us with a great
holiday meal. A
special thanks to
the LST members
for serving dinner
to everyone!

Fall Festival
There was just enough of a chill in the air the evening of our
Fall Festival held at our OWL Center in Dubach. The youth didn’t
seem to notice as they celebrated with game booths, prizes,
hayrides, horse and pony rides and food!!! As always, this was
an opportunity for those of our youth who wanted to, to dress
up in Halloween costumes. They could be seen participating in
the cakewalk, as well as many other booths where prizes were
given out. New this year was face painting, graciously provided
by Ruston High School’s cheerleaders who volunteered to come
out and join the fun! We couldn’t have done it without the help of
our sponsors and volunteers! A huge thank-you to Smurfit-Stone
for again providing and serving us our meal. These men continue
to bless us! The grill was fired up
and burgers and hotdogs with all the trimmings were served to
a large, appreciative crowd of youth and staff members. Thank you
also to the many volunteers who manned our booths and provided
candy and prizes to the youth: Kappa Delta Sorority, Kappa Sigma
Fraternity, Gamma Beta Phi, LTU Baseball Team, and the
GSU Girls Soccer Team,
just to name a few.

Shoebox Ministry
Many of you are aware of the Shoebox Ministry we participate in
each year here at LMCH. This ministry has been a social accountability
project for our home for the last few years. This project is done in
coordination with Samaritan’s Purse International, a nonprofit
humanitarian organization which provides relief aid and spiritual
support for communities around the world. Each year shoebox gifts
are delivered during Operation Christmas Child, an international
mission project where the gifts are distributed along with bible
lessons and relief supplies. This year, our focus was to be on quality
shoebox gifts, not just quantity. Our residential houses had a little
friendly competition going on and winners were announced at a special
blessing held at the Chapel on our campus. The award for Overall
Presentation went to Everett House,
other awards were: Shoebox Spirit

to the chapel where the
boxes were blessed before
being sent to Operation
Christmas Child.
Heritage Quilt Club
The wonderful ladies in this club made quilts for our youth.
They invited DeNeise Barlow, our Recreation Director to come
and tell them about our children. Several of these ladies also
made stockings for our youth. Thanks also to this club for
making the CAB kids stockings!
They all take pride in making these quilts. They do lots of
service projects for many different organizations as well as
the service men and women. We appreciate the opportunity
to have such nice quilts for the youth beds, and thankfully
they plan to continue making some for us. Lynette Bailey is
the contact person and she is our wonderful volunteer here
for our CAB girls.

Angel Tree Participants
Once again, we are amazed at the generosity that the Christmas Season brings!! Even with our hurting economy you, our very own
angels came through for the youth in our care!! We truly appreciate each and every person who participated in our Angel Tree program,
and want you to know that we could not have made this work without you and your dedication to the children in our care and
this ministry. Again this year, over 50 churches and organizations participated
in making Christmas for our youth a reality. We thank you from the bottom
of our hearts and look forward to
another successful year in 2009!

Louisiana Chapter of NUMC
The Louisiana Chapter of National United Methodist Campers hosted the National Rally at Yogi Bear RV resort in Robert, LA. The
mission project for this rally was the Louisiana Methodist Children’s Home. Representing the Home were Family Plus Director Troy
Luttgeharm, Southwest Louisiana liason Doug Hall, and Director of the Home’s Greater New Orleans location, Marlin Giacona. They
presented information to all in attendance, updating them on what is going on with youth and development at the Home. During the
evening worship, a love offering was held and approximately $4,000 was collected. Mrs. Clara Jane Jones, Mission Chairman, presented
this offering to Mr. Luttgeharm during services held at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Monroe, LA.
The National United Methodist Campers, Inc (NUMC) was organized as the National Camping Methodists Inc. (NCM) in Connecticut in
1975. The name was changed in 2001 as an affiliate of the United Methodist Church through the General Board of Discipleship (GBOD).
The purpose of NUMC is:
• To enjoy the out-of-doors in a wholesome Christian atmosphere.
• To provide safe and comfortable opportunities for family camping.
• To share in Christian worship at informal campground services or to attend a local church.
• To make new friends and continue long-time friendships with others.
• To assist others in need through Christian service (personal help, disaster relief, mission work)
A national rally brings all chapters together once a year. The national
president selects a place and date for the national rally. Information
about NUMC gathered from the NUMC website: www.umcampers.org

4-H Group Visit and Donation
A 4-H group from Columbia, LA recently toured the OWL Facilities in Dubach, complete
with a picnic lunch and a trip through the A-Mazing Maze!! The youth enjoyed their
time at the OWL, and then visited the Ruston campus where they presented donations
of cameras and photo albums for our youth. While they visited, they watched a video
to learn more about our programs and services, and then had a “question and answer
session” about our programs. Thank you so much to this
generous group of young people
for their donation
and their visit!

VFW Post #3615
The local VFW Post #3615 Men and Ladies Auxiliary of Ruston, LA
fulfilled their October Community Service project during October
by making special “goodie bags” for our youth. Goodie bags were
made for each of our 106 youth plus a few extra. The Goodie
bags were part of the Children’s Home Fall Festival Celebration.
Members of the auxiliary made the following statement about the
service project: “Being a member of VFW #3615 Auxiliary is very
special to each of us. It’s our desire to make others feel special, too!
Our members are veterans of foreign wars. We are proud of our
veterans and our military that is serving our country. Each of
them are keeping our country free and beautiful.”
Thank you so much to the men and ladies who participated
in this project!!
The Grambling International Students group, led by Dr. Marianne
Fisher-Giorlando, raised $200 for the Home. The students were inspired
to make a “Castle of Wishes” for the Home, where each “wish” was
sold for $1 and the person who bought the “wish” would write their
wish for our youth on a “block” which was then used to build the
castle. This idea came from a custom in Russia. The students sold the
wishes, built the castle and then presented it to LMCH’s Public Relations,
Development and Marketing Department. The students earned hours
toward required community service projects for their organization.
A big thank you
to all of our donors!
Whether you give money, supplies or your
time, it all makes a difference in the lives of
our youth and makes our ministry possible.

Donor Thank You Letters
We will no longer be sending a thank you
letter each time you make a donation, but
look for an End of the Year statement of
giving for your tax records.
Important Donor Information
regarding IRS requirements:
Record needed for all cash gifts.
No matter how small of an amount you donate
to us in cash, you must keep a canceled check,
bank record, or a receipt with our organization’s
name and the amount on it.
Otherwise there will be no deduction allowed by the
IRS. At the end of the year we will send a letter listing
all gifts made that calendar year. You will receive this
letter by the end of January for the prior year’s gifts.

Message
Greetings!
We have been busier than ever! We ended October with our 29th
annual golf tournament being a great success. Once again, thank
you to the golf committee, volunteers, and sponsors. We could
not have done it without you!
The youth in our care have enjoyed various events and activities,
such as season tickets to the Saints games, Mandeville Boat festival,
and Trunk-or-Treat at a local church. November brought our first
annual dance competition, girls versus boys. The youth had a blast
and it was amazing to see them come together as a team. Many
of our youth were able to spend Thanksgiving with family and
previous foster families. We are thankful to local churches that
opened their doors to youth and staff for Thanksgiving meals.

17
December brought Christmas Tree decorating contests, prayer
chains, and overwhelming support from the community. We
were amazed at how beautiful Christmas was this year. God’s
work was seen in so many ways: through gifts, donations,
and acts of kindness. The children were overwhelmed with
their gifts from various organizations and churches. They were
adopted by various individuals, churches, and businesses that
just wanted to be known as Secret Santa. Our thanks go to the
many United Methodist Churches across the state that opened
their hearts to us during this holiday season. It has definitely
been a busy couple of months and a great end to 2008. With
our first anniversary approaching in February, we know that
the blessings, support, and prayers will continue.

29th Annual Methodist Home Golf Classic
The 29th Annual Methodist Home Golf Classic was a tremendous
success, this past October at the Beau Chêne Country Club in
Mandeville. Over the years, this four-some scramble has become
one of the most popular tournaments throughout the Greater New
Orleans area. Golfers know that when they come to this tournament,
a great time will be had by all! It’s a first-class operation, on two
great courses, with spectacular door-prizes
for each player,
great fellowship,
and mouthwatering food
throughout the
course, prepared
by some of the
best chef’s in all
of Louisiana.
Best of all, all

one of the 3 teams sponsored by Reich & Associates. Pictured from

Hall's 'Marks
proceeds benefit The Methodist Home for Children of Greater New
Orleans. So regardless of how well you golf that day, you can’t lose!
All of this is made possible by countless hours of planning and hard
work by a committee of dozens of volunteers, under the leadership
of Bob Squires and Bob Reich. Each year, they make adjustments
to refine the tournament so that it’s even more fun and more profitable
than the previous year. The 2008 event raised over $58,000 in net
profits! Special thanks to our Platinum Sponsors which include:
Robert (“Bob”) S. Reich; Reich, Album & Plunkett, LLC; Northwestern
Mutual; Argo Fine Imports; Wachovia, Louis St. Martin Attorney
at Law, Bollinger Shipyards, and Christopher Schwartz.
Planning is already under way to make the 30th Annual Methodist
Home Golf Classic our best ever. Please save the date: Monday,
October 5th, at the Beau Chêne Country Club in Mandeville. Come
join us! There are many ways to play a part in the success of this
great event: help plan the tournament by serving on the committee
of volunteers, be a Sponsor, donate door prizes, serve as a volunteer
on the day of the tournament, or come join us for a round of golf
as a participant in the tournament. For more information, or to
let us know how you may be able to help, please call our Home in
Mandeville at (985) 626-6649.

God is calling us to do great things for
children and families in need throughout
the state. With your help, LMCH services
will remain strong, and we will see much growth in our
south Louisiana programs throughout the year.

more about the ministry of LMCH. That’s a BIG goal. Please
don’t wait for me to call you! You can reach me on my cell
phone: (985) 860-5247, and we can schedule a time for a short
visit. We can meet at your home, work place, or even over
the phone. Please let me know if I can give a presentation to a

Louisiana. Serving the southeast part of the state, our Home
in Mandeville continues to grow. Additionally, we look forward
to soon beginning construction for the Methodist Home for
Children of Southwest Louisiana, in Sulphur, LA.
You may be interested in exploring different ways to support
our ministry. Some of you may be in a position to share your
resources, or to volunteer time at one of our campuses. I’d love
to have a cup of coffee with you, brainstorm, and hear your ideas.
Perhaps you would like to let me know of someone else who may
also be interested in learning about the ministry of LMCH.
I also look forward to learning a little more about your story
during our short visit. How did you first hear about our ministry?
What motivates you to want to be involved? Which programs
interest you the most?
Thanks again for all of you who continue to support our
children with your prayers and gifts. Looking forward to
visiting with you soon!

of Southwest Louisiana
Progress in Sulphur
Even before we have officially broken ground, Mrs. Lee Mann, Mr. Richard
Morgan, Rev. Jerry Crise and Sue Crise (pictured) were hard at work,
cleaning a house which is on the property of The Methodist Home for
Children of Southwest Louisiana. We are grateful for their dedication,
as these hard working Methodists gave us their time and sweat on
an afternoon just a few days before Christmas. They did a great
job. This building will serve as the temporary main office for staff
of our new Home, in Sulphur, Louisiana. We look forward to
seeing construction begin soon!
If you would like to help
support this program,
which will serve children
and families in need
throughout all of
southwest Louisiana,
you may send a gift to
our main office in Ruston,
designated specifically
for this project.

Groundbreaking Ceremony
Terrel J. DeVille, President and CEO of LUMCFS, has announced
the recent purchase of a tract of land in the Sulphur/Lake Charles
area. A new facility for children will be built near the intersection
of Highway 27 and Houston River Road. The Houston River will
be the northern boundary and Highway 27 will be the boundary
to the east. The grounds are comprised of approximately 40 acres
on which a residential facility and an administrative building
will be built. The residential building will house youth ages 10
through 17. On October 17th, a Ground-Breaking/Dedication
Ceremony was held to celebrate this exciting new addition to the
Louisiana Methodist Children’s Home Ministry. The ceremony
was well attended by people from across the state.
Rev. Mike McLaurin, from First UMC, DeRidder opened the
ceremony in prayer. Following the prayer Mr. DeVille welcomed
all attendees. The Declaration of the grounds was officiated by
Rev. Steve Spurlock, the Lake Charles District Superintendent.
Presentation of the Construction Site was then made by Mr. Richard
Lewis, Chairperson of the Home’s Board of Directors to Bishop
Hutchinson noting that acquisition of the property had been
made possible by a gift from the William Henning Family, and
it will be named the Louisiana Methodist Children’s Home
of Southwest Louisiana. After response and prayer by Bishop
Hutchinson, the benediction was led by Rev. Timothy Neustifter,
Henning Memorial UMC.
Construction
of the new
facility is set
to begin in
2009 with
a goal of
September 1,
2010 for its
completion.
The new
building will
enable LMCH
to provide
care for
up to 30
youth.
