You may have heard of the wonderful ministry that is taking place through the efforts of SOTH members Jeff Morgan, Debbie Stone, Kelly Smith and many, many others.
Jeff is currently in Iraq and during a mission into one of the villages, he met a very special girl who needs our help. If you haven't heard the story, follow the link to our church website, www.sothumc.net, and follow the link from the front page --- you'll see the picture of "Baby Nora" there.
You'll also find a link to an incredible front page spread on this story in today's Atlanta Journal-Constitution. If you haven't gotten the paper, check it out through the link and you'll get all the details. This story is also being picked up by CNN (look for a possible story next week) and other media outlets.
At present, we're being flooded with calls and that's exactly what we want. For now, you can help primarily by making a contribution through pay pal on the church site, or by giving at our Christmas Eve worship services, where 100% of the proceeds will go to support our efforts for Baby Nora.
Thanks for taking the time to learn about what's happening. There will be an informational meeting at SOTH on Tuesday night, December 27th at 7pm. A representative of Childspring International will be on hand with us to talk about the application process for any families interested in hosting Baby Nora and family in their home.
Thanks in advance for all the wonderful things that you do for Christ through the mininstries of SOTH UMC.

My heart is so full knowing that this is going on at my church and that people I know are making it happen. How incredibly inspiring to watch this story unfold and know that I can actually help. Thanks to Jeff Morgan, all military personnel involved and everyone at SOTH that are assisting him in his efforts. Amazing.
Thanks so much to SOTH! I've made this my lead story at Military Methodists.
