John: chapters 13-20 The bead colors represent the underlined items mentioned in these quotations from the Easter scriptures: off white fossil – at the last supper with his disciples, "Then he took a loaf of bread…he broke it apart and gave it to them saying ‘This is my body, given for you.’" red coral – "And he took a cup of wine…and said…’this is my blood…poured out to forgive the sins of multitudes.’" green mountain jade – "Then Jesus brought them to a garden grove, Gesthemane,…Judas… arrived with a great crowd armed with swords and clubs…Judas had told them to arrest the man he greeted." brown wood – "three were crucified – Jesus on the center cross." gray agate fossil – "Early Sunday morning…Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone was rolled aside from the entrance." white mountain jade – "They entered the tomb – and there…sat a young man clothed in white…the angel said…’He isn’t here! He has come back to life.’"

Profit from the sale of these items will be given to UMCOR. for the current disaster relief collection.
What is UMCOR?
An organization which provides aid after disasters. An umcor team is among the first to arrive at a disaster site to give immediate as well as long term help. More than just financial aid, personal assistance is given.
UMCOR has been in Florida after hurricanes, in New Orleans after Katrina, in Asia after the tsunami, in California after wild fires, in the little towns in Minnesota and Wisconsin after floods, and many other places.

100% of the money donated goes to relief. None is used for administrative expenses because the United Methodist Church administers and supports UMCOR.

Why did we choose donations to UMCOR? Because it is a worthwhile non profit charity that does not receive a lot of publicity. Because the next survivor of a natural disaster could be you or me.
