Membership Committee Outlines Ambitious Plans
The membership committee consists of Sandy Williams, Carolyn Starner, Betty DeLong, Larry Reams, Larry Noland and Bill Baughman(Chr). Our mission for 2002 will be to educate and motivate the membership at Maple Street. We have some exciting plans for 2002 which are: 1. Utilize the Church van to get members to Sunday School, Church and Church functions; 2. Utilize church expertise and give classes like Estate Planning, Taxes, Real Estate, Computers and Insurance. (Watch the Maple Street Monthly for times and places;) 3. Educate the members on doing God's work. There is monetary tithing and time tithing, and we want to motivate members to volunteer in doing God's work; 4. Develop a New Member program (From First Time Attender/Visitor to new member;) 5. Enhance the visitation of shut-in’s and those in the hospital; 6. Partner with the Evangelism and Worship committees to streamline work and enhance the benefits to all church members from these committees; 7. Work with the youth groups in participating in more Church functions along with the adults.
There is much work to do and as you can see, it will take more than the Membership Committee to make all this happen. That’s why we will be asking for volunteers to assist in making these programs work to the benefit of God, the Church and it’s members. If you see a program that you would like to minister, please contact any of the Membership Committee listed above.
In his name. - Bill Baughman, Chair

As always, when support was needed by our church, our friends were with us. In Christian Love, - Mark, Kim, Kalynn and Stacy Renko Dear Maple Street Friends, Your signed greeting cards are really appreciated. I can visualize many of you as you faithfully wait your turn to add your name to the others. Some of the names are of people who have joined Maple Street since I have ceased attending. Thank you very much. In Christ, - Adelaide Hale |

Youth Auction Biggest Yet!
It was a lot of fun, and the big winner was the youth mission trip. Just a reminder, theyouth, and their helpers, were auctioned for any job that they agree to do. However, these jobs should last no longer than 3 hours, unless alternate arrangements are made prior to the bidding. The auctions have been a lot of fun in the past and they have raised a lot of money for our missions fund. We’re thankful this year was no different.
The countdown to Oklahoma is upon us. The youth will be taking their second mission trip in a few short months. I will be contacting the parents in regards to a meeting about the trip in the near future. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our church family for all of their help and support in our mission efforts.
The youth would like to remind everyone that the Kite Regatta is to be held on Sunday, May 19th, 2002 at 2:00p.m. The regatta will be held at the soccer fields on East Main Street. Please join us in the praising of our Lord. Trophies and prizes will again be awarded, by the United Methodist Men.
The youth took part in this year’s Bible reading marathon. This was the second year that the youth has participated. All went well, and we look forward to doing it again next year. We thank Helen for giving us the opportunity.
