Cover Story
Native American Ministries Sunday is April 14
NATIVE AMERICAN Ministries Sunday became an
official observance of the United Methodist Church in 1988. Its
purpose is to celebrate and to reflect on the contributions of
native people to the church and American societies, and to help
educate and train Native American United Methodist leaders. In
Holston Conference, a Native American Ministries Team organizes
mission trips as well as its annual "Gathering" at Coker
Creek Village in Tellico Plains, Tenn. This year the event is scheduled for Sept. 21-22.
For more information about The Gathering, contact Vicki
Collins at (865) 435-0100 or
wahoohoospirit@yahoo.com. For information about Native American Ministries in the United Methodist Church, visit www.naco.umcom.org. To support Holston's Native American ministries, make checks to your local church or to Holston Conference, designating "Native American Awareness" on the memo line.
