Support ZOE Ministry by purchasing hand-made creations
ZOE Ministry is pleased to support a new opportunity offered through Bidzirk, an online distributor based in South Carolina. ZOE invites you to support the work of a group of Rwandan orphans who have made handmade Christmas cards, beautiful woven baskets, and jewelry. The items are now available through Bidzirk in their Partnering with Africa online store.  In keeping with Giving Hope principles, ZOE Ministry will not receive any revenue from these items purchased at Fair Trade prices. Visit MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from “mail.zoeministry.org” claiming to be http://www.bidzirk.com/zoe/index.html to support this important work that has the potential to yield self sustaining empowerment for generations to come.

Reminder: MTF Payments Due
The annual contributions payments to the Ministers’ Transition Fund (MTF) are due to the Treasurer’s Office no later than Jan. 31. According to the plan document (2008 Journal, page 435), payments received after Jan. 31 will be returned to the minister. This lack of payment may result in either a delay of when the MTF member may begin to receive dividends or the member may not receive the 2009 dividend, depending on how long the member has been enrolled in the Fund. For more details about the benefits of this Fund and to obtain an enrollment application, visit the Pensions Page on the Treasurer’s Office Web site https://nccumc.org/treasurer/pensions/ or contact JoAnna Cafferty (1-800-849-4433 ext. 225).
