IMAGINE No Malaria Mission

Every 60 seconds, malaria claims a life in Africa. Millions of lives, needlessly lost each year. A continent. Entire nations…slipping away. Slipping through life’s precious net. Unless you hear the buzzing inside you! Imagine No Malaria is an extraordinary effort of the people of The United Methodist Church, putting our faith into action to end preventable deaths by malaria in Africa, especially the death of a child or a mother. Achieving this goal requires an integrated strategy against the disease. As a life-saving ministry, Imagine No Malaria aims to empower the people of Africa to overcome malaria’s burden. South Shore UMC has chosen to join forces with other United Methodist churches in this effort. We have coin boxes available for you to collect your spare change over the next week. Whenever you receive change from groceries, or from buying a soda or lunch, or when you are emptying your pockets at the end of the day, simply drop it into your collection box. On Sunday, April 22, South Shore UMC will be hosting Bishop Warner Brown as he shares a message on the Imagine No Malaria project. These collection boxes will be placed around the Communion table, and Bishop Brown will bless them. Whether you can give a few coins or many, you are encouraged to be a part of this important mission. Please count your change and put the amount on a little slip of paper and place inside your box before you turn it in. Thank you in advance for your participation.
