Here at East Whittier UMC in southern California we were able to lift up the need for clean water around the world.  The amount received may seem small ( still counting but we think in the neighborhood of $300 - $400 ), but so far we have sent the monies to 3 different countries water well projects through the United Methodist Committee on Relief.

Two weeks ago a member of the congregation asked me if we can continue this emphasis throughout the year so we are going to be placing a simple water pitcher on the communion table every Sunday during worship time and then moving the pitcher to the baptismal font located in the lobby.  Again it may seem most ordinary - but we all know the extraordinary things God keeps doing through and with ordinary folks.
