Join us to honor our missionaries, Nan McCurdy and Miguel Mairena, for a box lunch and beverages in our Fellowship Hall. Please RSVP by Saturday, November 2 to Ellen McDaniel (text to 443-745-6679 or email eojm249@gmail.com), and indicate if you have special food needs. Parking, including handicapped spots, will be available in the upper lot to the right of the church. We hope you can join in this special time with Nan and Miguel!
We will be taking a love offering to celebrate Nan and Miguel’s ministry. You can donate by writing a check to EUMC and putting “Nan/Miguel Love Offering” on the memo line. You can also donate on-line at www.eumclaurel.org/give/, using the line item “Love offering for Nan and Miguel”.
Nan and Miguel have served the United Methodist Church as missionaries in Nicaragua (31 years), in the US (4 years), and in Puebla, Mexico (6 years). They will be retiring soon (Miguel end of December 2024, Nan mid-March 2025). They moved to Nicaragua at the end of the summer, currently living there with their daughter and son-in-law. They have returned to the US for their final itineration in their “home conference” (Baltimore Washington) and will be visiting churches here. We at EUMC are delighted that Nan and Miguel will be able to meet with us one final time, as Nan wrote, “to share about GIve Ye Them to Eat [their most recent mission] and to thank you for your years of support”. We, in turn, would like to honor and thank them for their life of faithful service, modeling what Jesus would have us do, and for graciously hosting EUMC’s mission team in Nicaragua in 2009.
