Tom House, of Warners UMC, presented the 2012 UMM Man of the Year award to the family of John Resseguie, Sr., who passed away earlier this year. John proudly served his church and community for years and the award was well-deserved. It was an honor to know him. Below are pictures of Tom reading and presenting the award.
Doug MacEwen
  Haiti Mission
Tom House and his team returned from Haiti on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 very tired but feeling very fulfilled after a week of work helping to rebuild the stricken country. The conditions there are much-improved since his last visit. Water wells have sprung up all over (much credit to folks like Doug Wolford who went there recently too). The rubble that was piled in the streets is gone, heavy equipment is now there and the tent villages are now gone. Tom described a new kind of block being used for building that is made of foam and rebar and is filled with concrete. There were 8-10 skilled locals who were hired each day. There is a 40 person choir from Haiti that is traveling to Ohio soon. Tom is hoping they can come our way. There were 180 in attendance at the church, with people spilling outside. All of them walk to church, sometimes great distances and are very well dressed.

Veteran's Sunday Honors
The UM Men in Warners and Little Utica churches each honored a veteran on Veteran's Sunday, November 13, 2011. Jim Barber from Little Utica was recognized for his service in Korea, driving his tank (aptly) named "Blockhead." Ralph Sims from Warners was recognized for his service in World War II, as a member of the 507 Parachute Regiment as a Navigator (see picture below).

Strength of Service to God and Country
On September 11, 2011, the UMM in Warners and Little Utica churches presented Strength of Service to God and Country Awards to two of their members. Warners presented their award to David Walker (see picture below). Little Utica presented their award to Steven Weller, Lt Colonel, Retired, who served in Operation Desert Storm and in Afghanistan, Operation Enduring Freedom. We are so proud and grateful for the sacrifice of our veterans.

The area was devastated by flooding caused by Tropical Storm Lee in early September 2011.
