Janice McLain
Janice McLain, a United
Methodist Missionary in Liberia.
Africa, will speak about her work
with the Liberia United Methodist
Church, Africa, at a potluck dinner,
Sundaym, May 13, at 5 p.m. at the
1 leppner United Methodist Church.
The public is invited to attend. For
more information, phone the church
office.676-9224.
McLain, member and former
administrator of Woodbum Llnited
Methodist Church, Woodbum. has
been serving as a United Methodist
missionary in Monrovia, Liberia,
since January 1995. She has served
as the financial officer for the United
Methodist Church in Liberia,
working closely with Bishops Arthur
Kulah and John Innis and leaders
of the Liberia Annual Conference.
She also serves on the board of
directors for "Operation Classroom",
attending meetings in Indiana.
During 1992-93 she served as
a volunteer at Luckau Mission,
Lebowa, South Africa. Her work
there included teaching commercial
skills. Reflecting on her service,
McLain said, "My work with
students in the homeland in South
Africa was a time of learning,
sharing and love. God's presence
in my life became much stronger
and I know He was guiding me into
full-time mission service." As she
was preparing to depart for Liberia
she commented, "The Liberian
Conference asked for assistance.
They needed someone to do the
work and I needed to go."
In April 1996, the Liberian civil
war escalated. McLain and all other
persons at risk were evacuated from
Monrovia. After four months in the
U.S., she returned to Man, Ivory
Coast, where she served the Libenan
people until it was safe to return
to Monrovia. Since then there have
been many rebuilding projects in
churches, schools and hospitals.
McLain has reported that the Ganta
UM Hospital has treated numerous
people injured in the fighting. And
she says, "Schools continue to teach
our children... Oregon/Idaho
Conference churches have helped
274 children to go to school for the
academic year (2000-2001)."
McLain is a native of Paola,
Kansas. Candler School of
Theology, Emory University in
Atlanta, certified her as church
business administrator. As well as
serving the Woodbum church she

"Hats off" to Heppner's small
business owners, be they retailers,
insurance agents, mechanics,
restaurants, newspapers, grocers,
gas stations, beauticians, barbers,
realtors,
farmers,
ranchers,
entrepreneurs... a ghost town we
would be without you.
This week is National Small
Business Week, the opportunity
to say "thank you" to our small
business owners who keep business
alive and well in Heppner. It isn't
always an easy task, going to
market, figuring out what and how
much of a product customers want,
what new items will be popular,
or what old items to retain or
discard. Business owners have to
provide the structure, the inventory,
the expertise, patience to abide by
new rules and regulations, hire
employees and have the energy and
enthusiasm to keep going and going
and going. They are facing
competition with the big chain stores
as they strive to provide quality
products, service and jobs for
Heppner. They, like everyone else,
experience burnout. Give them a
pat on the back and your support.
We would be a ghost town without
them.
A recent article in "myBusmess"
discussed five ways to get back to
basics in your business and life.
Increased choices complicate our
lives. Many have more "stuff than
ever but not enough of what really
counts: time with family, enjoyment
of each day and spiritual fulfillmerit.
In brief, here are the five
mentioned ways to slow down and
start the journey toward simple
living:
* Focus on what you are
passionate about (don't carry
products or purchase those you don't
believe in);
* Take control of your business
and life (you can't take time for
things you enjoy unless you cut out
something else);
* Change your definition of
success (realizing that standard of
living does not equal quality of life
gives new meaning to "money can't
buy happiness");
* Live your life and run your
business consistent with your values
(success is measured not only by
profitability but by health of
employees, relationships and
creating a positive future);
And finally, * Get rid of clutter
(stop junk mailings and phone
solicitation, recycle more and waste
less, donate to those who need your
"stuff' and pitch the rest).
Through simplicity we can ensure
that work provides a sense of
purpose that goes beyond just
making money to making a life.
Good luck. I pledge to remove
a sack from my home or office every
time I walk out of the door holding
the thought, "Practice what you
preach." Remind me.
