Reaching Out to Those with HIV and AIDS.

The Western North Carolina MFSA chapter has started to be creative with getting people together despite distance. In addition to the original cell group in Charlotte, another cell group of MFSAers is very excited to have started meeting in the Winston-Salem/Greensboro/HighPoint area.

The chapter has also made great strides in the conference in the areas of mission and outreach. Western North Carolina MFSA is planning a retreat with people living with HIV and AIDS. They are using the theme of being an “open heart, open mind, open door church.”

They are working with the Southeastern United Methodist Agency for Rehabilitation, which received a grant of $30,000 from the Southeast Jurisdiction. More resources have been promised through the Duke Endowment to run these retreats on an annual basis. The first one will be October 5-11 2002.
