Heppner UMC
mission work aids
Kenyan hospital
Pictured are Carley Drake, winner of the quilt, Cara Osmin
who donated the quilt and the Rev. Jim Monroe, pastor of the
Heppner United Methodist Church.
This past month, the
Heppner United Methodist
Church donated a total of
$4,000 to the Maua (Maa-
OO-ah) Methodist Hospital
in Maua, Kenya. A check
was presented to Louise
Kinzel on June 2, this sum-
mer’s team leader, from
Hermiston United Method-
ist Church.
Besides the funds,
many other articles were
sent, including receiving
blankets, other newborn
baby needs and school sup-
plies. To help raise funds,
a quilt, donated by Cara
Osmin, has been used to
help raise the funds. It was
won on Sunday by Carley
Drake, a member of the
church.
The $4,000 that was
sent to the hospital will be
used to build a house for a
family vetted and chosen by
the Maua Methodist Hospi-
tal. Two rooms, two doors
(for post-circumcised boys
- 14 years old) on one side
and young boys and women
on the other. It is also for a
family of orphaned children
from one to eight years old,
and a guardian or guardian
couple that has lost their
middle-aged children to
AIDS, malaria, accidents,
or a variety of other causes.
The money United
Methodist sends covers the
cost of the house, which has
no running water or elec-
tricity, is about 12’x24’ and
is considered a good home
by rural Kenyan standards.
The funds also cover food
support if needed, nation-
al health care insurance,
which is a life saver in Ken-
ya and school costs through
secondary education. The
house is titled in the name
of one of the children, and
the elder guardians agree
to care for the kids through
secondary school and the
children agree to care for
the guardians until they die.
Engagements
Lemonade available
in Lexington July 4 Collins/Beairsto
to wed
Lexington resident,
Callahan Baker, is busy
preparing for her fourth
annual lemonade stand on
July 4. Callahan first set up
her stand on the morning of
the fourth of July in 2016,
with hopes of serving a few
local friends and family and
those traveling to the festiv-
ities in Ione. That year, she
also had a goal of earning
enough to donate some of
her earnings to a cause she
cared about, animals. She
was able to donate $30 of
her hard-earned dollars
to the Temple Veterinary
Clinic, in Lexington.
The following year,
Callahan decided she would
donate a portion of her
funds to the Make-A-Wish
Foundation of Oregon, be-
cause she wanted to do
something to make a differ-
ence for sick kids. She was
able to send $50.
Last year, in 2018,
Callahan and her brother
Duke expanded their menu,
adding cookies and iced
coffee. Apparently, word
was getting out and many
of their customers said they
really loved that the kids
had a cause in mind and
were donating some of their
hard-earned money. They
were surprised, as well as
were their parents Matt and
Julie, at how well the kids’
stand did. Both Callahan
and Duke kept $20 of their
profit, to spend on whatever
they chose. Together, the
family decided that the rest
of their earnings would go
to a “do-good” stash that the
kids could use to do good
deeds in their community
throughout the year.
Callahan and Duke re-
ally enjoyed their first good
deed, which was most-
ly just for fun, as they’d
heard about how to “pay
it forward.” The two paid
for $10 worth of drinks at
Breaking Grounds Coffee
Shop for the next “kids
only” customers.
The biggest act they did
was each choose a tag off of
the local Christmas giving
tree located at Les Schwab
Tire Center, in Heppner.
Callahan and Duke each
had a lot of fun shopping
for and choosing items to
match the requests of the
tag for the child they chose.
“I like to do it because it’s
a good deed and it’s fun. It
makes me feel good.” said
Callahan.
Anyone who would
like to stop by and visit
Callahan’s lemonade stand
this year can find it on July
4, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., on the
corner of Main Street and F
Street in Lexington.
