February Bulletin
You Tell on Yourself
You tell on yourself by the friends you seek,
By the very manner in which you speak,
By the way you employ your leisure time,
By the use you make of dollar & dime.
You tell on yourself by the things you wear,
By the spirit in which your burdens you bear,
By the type of things at which you laugh,
By the records you play on your phonograph.
You tell what you are by the way you walk,
By the things of which you delight to talk,
By the manner in which you bear defeat,
By so simple a thing as how you eat.
By the books you choose from the library shelf,
By these things and more … you tell on yourself.

Opportunity to Give
Hope to a Haiti
Child
Life for the children of Haiti
was extremely difficult prior to the earthquake. Their world collapsed around them last
week. Try to imagine their day to day
challenges as they attempt to deal with the devastating impact of this massive
earthquake.
*The emotional stress of
losing loved ones & the fear of tomorrow
*Supply lines disrupted …
with food, water, & fuel shortages
*Higher costs for basic
necessities, when available
*The strain of accommodating
the flow of injured & displaced people moving out of Port au Prince into
already overcrowded villages & countryside.
The children of Haiti
need your help today. Please consider
the opportunity of lifting a child up & giving them hope through child
sponsorship for only $25.00 per month.
To learn more or request a sponsorship, visit the Child Sponsorship page
on the World Relief website: www.acworldrelief.org Applications are also available at your
church.

World Relief Info for
Helping Haiti
We have witnessed the devastating impact the earthquake of January
12 has had on the people of Haiti,
and we are committed to helping. Food and water are essential, as this trauma
has disrupted transportation and destroyed the occupations of so many. Medical
supplies are urgently needed for trauma victims. Thousands of Haitians are
living with their only possessions being the clothes they are wearing. Food,
medical supplies and clothing are the most urgent needs.
We will be sending food, medical supplies and clothes for at least
the next 6-10 months. Sorting of the clothes and shoes into groups of boys,
girls, men and women's would be very helpful. Shoes and under garments are also
needed and they should be sorted as well. The clothing and bedding should be
for a warm climate.
Label all boxes with the contents. Also, please have like items in
a box so the distribution in Haiti
is easier. Supplies are most helpful if they are appropriate items, organized
and sent through legitimate channels.
Medical Supplies
The need is for supplies to use for trauma victims. Listed below
are the items that were requested:
- Gauze 4 x 4
- IV supplies
- Elastic/ace bandages - 4", 6",
8"
- Kirlex
- Clean bandages
- Betadine
- Plaster bandages for casts
- Sheet cotton for putting under plaster casts
sheets
- Analgesic injectables - ketamine?
- Antibiotic injectables
- IV antibiotics
- Oral antibiotics.
- Pain medicines
- Gloves, sterile and non-sterile
Medications cannot be outdated and should have at least 6
months before expiration. Other supplies can be close to expiration. Please
pack like items together. For example, all dressings in one box and IV supplies
in another box. Label clearly on the outside of the box the items and the
number.
If you have supplies to donate, please transport them to the
Goodfield, IL or Bluffton, IN Distribution Centers. You may also UPS
items to Bob Honegger in Bluffton.
Contributions
Donations for relief can be sent through local AC churches or to
the World Relief Treasurer. Checks should be made out to ACWR and
designated "Haiti
Earthquake Disaster Relief."

Attention Parents …
from Charles
If you have a home computer
with Internet access, please consider installing a “filter” if you haven’t
prior to this. We continue to have sad
experiences where parents thought that filtering was not necessary. Go to our church website: http://www.tremontacc.org/
and click on “Links”, then click on “Content Filtration”. After reading the information there, click on
“Next” at the bottom of the page & it will lead you through a simple
sign-up procedure. This is the filter
that myself & a number of others have on our
computers. If you have trouble getting
through this, call me or any of the others in our congregation who have
computer experience. I recognize that a
filter is not perfect, but it will protect your young children & will keep
unwanted things from popping up on your screen.
We still need to treat the Intenet with caution even with a filter.
SS Benefit
This year the SS will be
having a homemade pizza benefit fundraiser. Order forms were sent in the mail, so if you
wish to order, please mark your selections & write your name/phone number
on the form & return the completed forms to the information center at
church by February 10th.
The pizzas will be available
for pick-up or delivery on February 27th from 12:00-5:00 p.m.
Donations will also be accepted at that time. If you did not receive a form, please contact
James & Brenda Fehr.
