The United Women in Faith (UWF, formerly United Methodist Women) presented Special Mission Recognition Pins to Bill Utterback, Susie Moffett and Lauren Lang at the contemporary service on June 18. Special donations were made to UWF mission projects in honor of Mr. Bill, Miss Susie, and Miss Lauren for their mission outreach work in the form of the podcasts they created. Thanks to their work creating and posting their podcasts on the internet, our church family has ventured into a mission field of countless viewers with entertaining, Christ-centered messages. Although the messages are primarily for children, they bring Jesus “alive” to people of all ages. The podcasts, entitled “I Hear Jesus,” may be found here.
