But we also remember the horrific Haiti earthquake of 2010 when we lost one of our own beloved clergy members, the Rev. Dr. Sam Dixon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First United Methodist Church, Roanoke Rapids, Sam Dixon&#8217;s final local church appointment, made a gift of $25,000 to the United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR) in his memory.&nbsp; UMCOR, a unit of the General Board of Global Ministries, will match Roanoke Rapids\u2019 memorial gift from other sources. The Rev. Dr. Tracy C. Sexton is the current pastor and Cindy Dixon, Sam\u2019s wife, is a member of the church. What a great a witness and testimony to the eternal love of Christ! We are thankful for this opportunity to assist our neighbors in Haiti, while honoring the memory of our brother, Sam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For a matching gift, make a note, or mention Rev. Dr. Sam Dixon, while supporting UMCOR\u2019s response to the present disasters in Haiti. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Checks may be given to your local church, made to Advance #982450, UMCOR International Disaster Response and Recovery, or online at&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/umcmission.org\/advance-project\/982450\">https:\/\/umcmission.org\/advance-project\/982450<\/a><\/strong>; or send checks to Global Ministries\/UMCOR, P.O.
