Its actually "wells of hope" <BR>

This was part of the One Great Hour of Sharing literature this year. To see the bulletin insert that specifically mentions these wells, go to URL: <A href="http://new.gbgm-umc.org/umcor/media/oghs/OGHS%2008.Web%20Bullentin.F.pdf">http://new.gbgm-umc.org/umcor/media/oghs/OGHS%2008.Web%20Bullentin.F.pdf</A><BR>

You and your congregation can join United Methodists worldwide by making a special offering through One Great Hour of Sharing to support humanitarian aid through UMCOR. You can be assured that when catastrophes cause suffering, your church, impelled by Jesus' love and compassion, will be in the lead to ease the pain. <BR>
<SPAN class=customStyle9><STRONG><FONT color=#980707>THE 2008 OFFERING SUNDAY MARCH 2—ESSENTIAL TO UMCOR </FONT></STRONG></SPAN><BR>
Gifts to this offering underwrite UMCOR's "costs of doing business." That helps us keep our promise that 100 percent of every other gift you make to a specific UMCOR project can be spent on that project-not on home office costs. <BR>
UMCOR is a good steward of God's gifts. Offering gifts over and above those used to cover administrative costs are channeled where they're most needed. UMCOR's specialized ministries-responding in disaster, fighting hunger, alleviating poverty, providing relief supplies around the world, and offering hospitality to immigrants and refugees-all assist the most vulnerable people whose need is greatest. <BR>
<SPAN class=customStyle9><STRONG><FONT color=#980707>NO WORLD SERVICE FUNDS COME TO UMCOR</FONT></STRONG></SPAN><BR>
UMCOR receives no World Service funds or any other apportionments. Your gifts mean we're right there with hardworking families, people who are affected by storms or war, disaster or disease. <BR>
"The One Great Hour of Sharing offering on March 2, 2008, provides for those basic needs that make the rest of UMCOR's work possible," says the Rev. Sam W. Dixon, Deputy General Secretary of UMCOR. "Without this offering so much of what UMCOR does to bring hope and healing to the world could not happen."<BR>

We also had an offering for the one Great Hour of Sharing and the Zimbawe orphanage but not one for Hope wells. Good luck. You might want to contact someone in UMW who might know about their various mission work. Have a good day! Brenda Berry Walnut Grove United Meth.
