001\DSCF3268.JPGRain is often seen as a sign of blessing, but the mission
team of Palmyra United Methodist Church were not sure that it would help our
Imagine No Malaria dinner on May 14. With the food already prepared, the
silent auction items on display, the rain could be heard on the roof of Zion
United Methodist Church. Then there were the voices. People came! Lots of
people came! The people who came were able to see all of the work that had
gone into the celebration which was designed to raise awareness and money to
fight malaria, especially in Africa. The displays of African mission trips,
artwork, and informative displays told the story of malaria. The African
inspired menu gave everyone a taste of the culture of Africa. The
basketball shooting reminded everyone that a mosquito net is one of the best
ways to prevent malaria.
One evening can make a tremendous difference. Close to $2000 was raised to
help in efforts to eradicate malaria, a disease often transmitted by
mosquitos that kills millions of people. The United Methodist Church has
expanded their ministry for this disease to include Nothing But Nets as well
as other education, prevention, communication, and treatment methods. The
people and business of this community have helped to save lives by
supporting this event. Thanks to all who came out, gave donations, supplied
items and gift certificates for the silent auction. Together we are
changing the world, one life at a time.
At the end of the evening, when all of the bids were in for the silent
auction, the food had been thoroughly enjoyed, and the lights turned off,
the team rejoiced in a job well done and lives that will be transformed
because of an evening. It was indeed a blessing. If you would like more
