Circle of Care gives guidance,
hope to Oklahoma families
Join us to worship and celebrate!
Pearl’s Hope, Circle of Care’s residential ministry to young mothers and their children who are facing a probability of homelessness,
was full with a waiting list just weeks after it opened in September,
2008. Circle of Care receives the largest portion of our Easter offering
each year and Pearl’s Hope is it’s newest ministry.
Pearl’s Hope began after a United Methodist and community volunteer in Tulsa noticed that often young mothers had to give up their
children in order to escape abustive situations and gain independence.
She dreamed of a shelter that would house mothers and children together in Tulsa, and upon her death her estate was placed with the
Oklahoma United Methodist Foundation to provide such a shelter.
Most shelters cannot accept children, so they are often placed with
friends, relatives or in foster care until their mothers are able to care for
them. Thanks to the spacious cottages at the Frances E. Willard Ministry Center, these women and their children can now stay together.
Easter services at 8:00, 9:30 & 11:00 a.m.
The Chapel Choir will sing at 8:00.
Chancel Choir will sing at 9:30 & 11:00.
Sunday School starts at 9:30 this week.
"SING WITH ALL THE SAINTS IN GLORY!"

Nicaragua VIM application
deadline is this Sunday
This Sunday is the deadline to apply for our
church’s next volunteer-in-mission trip. The team will
be working in Nicaragua October 15-23.
Team members will be doing construction and
leading Vacation Bible School for the children there.
Each person will need a valid passport. The team will
be announced next week and begin meeting soon.
Necessary immunizations will be given later.
Those who are unable to serve on a team can
also participate by sponsoring someone else. For more
information, contact Paul Staat, 699-0133 or
[email protected].
There are more than 10,000 children in Oklahoma’s foster care system. On any given day, 150 children are waiting for a foster home.
When one is not available, they stay in county shelters. Our Circle of
Care provides a solution through Child SHARE.
Child SHARE works with licensing agencies, faith communities and
volunteers to recruit and support full time foster families, and adoptive
and respite families. This network helps provide for their physical, emotional, spiritual and financial needs.
Child SHARE also provides clothing and equipment, support groups,
and family events in the Lawton, Oklahoma City and Tulsa areas.
Circle of Care’s ministries also include the Children’s Home in Tahlequah, Boys’ Ranch near Gore, and Holsinger Home in Enid

From the
Pastor’s Study
Mouzon Biggs, Jr.
Easter Sunday is the greatest day in the Christian year. Our
sabbath is on Sunday to remind us evey week that God’s raising
Jesus from the dead is the single most important thing in our faith.
No preacher feels adequaate to write a sermon or deliver a
sermon on Easter Sunday. The reality far outweighs our ability to
describe it.
All week I will struggle with the appripriate text from the Bible.
I will see the altar draped in black on Maundy Thursday. I will pray
before the “old rugged cross” in the Great Hall on Good Friday.
I will know that our Altar Guild will be filling our church with
beautiful white lilies for Sunday morning. I will anticipate the brass
ensemble, dozens of lighted candles, and the energized members of
our choirs.
I can hardly wait to see you fill our church. Invite friends, family
and coworkers - anyone and everyone you know who doesn’t go
regularly to some other church.
The sermon I will be working on all week will be called “SING
WITH ALL THE SAINTS IN GLORY!
