Earthquake Claims the Life of United Methodist Mission Personnel
The Church was saddened to hear of the death of the director of the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) Rev. Sam Dixon and also of Rev. Clint Rabb, head of the Volunteers in Mission Office. Both Rev's Dixon and Rabb died of injuries received after being buried and trapped in the rubble of the collapsed hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Jean Arnwine, one member of a Highland Park UMC (Dallas) mission team providing eye care to Haitians died January 15 in Guadeloupe of injuries suffered in the earthquake. A memorial service for Rev. Dixon was held Friday, January 22 and funeral services for Rev. Rabb were held Saturday, January 23.
OIMC Campus Ministry Sunday
At Annual Conference 2002, a recommendation was presented to the conference that a special offering be taken in February for assisting with campus ministries. At the time OIMC had four active campus ministry programs: Northeastern at Tahlequah; University of Oklahoma at Norman; Eastern State College at Wilburton and Haskell Indian Nations University at Lawrence, Kansas. In 2010 we have campus ministry programs at: Oklahoma State University, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City University, Durant, Haskell Indian Nations University, Washburn University and Northeastern State University. A special offering is to be taken by the local churches to aid in the building of campus ministry across the conference. This special Sunday is observed the third Sunday in February (February 21, 2010).
