United Methodist Dollars for Scholars Program
Each year through the United Methodist Dollars for Scholars (UMDFS) program, the United Methodist Higher Education Foundation (UMHEF) provides $1,000 matching scholarships to United Methodist students who have received a $1,000 scholarship from their local United Methodist church to help them attend a United Methodist-related college, university or seminary
The Finance Committee of Wayne Street United Methodist Church has established a restricted fund to receive donations so we can support students from our congregation who attend a UMC related school with a “Dollars for Scholars” scholarship.  Contributions can be made to “WSUMC” designated to “Dollars for Scholars”

Students interested in receiving a scholarship must fill out a Wayne Street UMC application which can be picked up at the information table and must be turned in no later than January 29, 2012.

February Mission Focus
Family Life Center of Auglaize County
Cups of Blessings
The Mission focus for February will be the Family Life Center of Auglaize County and their Cups of Blessings Program.  This year the Family Life Center’s focus will be on the “Save A Beating Heart Campaign.”  They are raising funds to purchase an ultrasound machine so that the abortion vulnerable and abortion minded clients who come to the center will have the choice to see their child and hear its heartbeat as early as 8 weeks.  It has been shown that approximately 60% of the women that are contemplating abortion will choose life for their child after seeing and hearing their child in the womb.
The Cups of Blessings will be available after church this Sunday and will need to come back in by the end of February.  Please take a cup, put in your extra change and you will have the chance to save a precious life.
