Sun safety/ Sunscreens
For most people, a sunscreen with a SPF of 15-30 is adequate.  Persons with a history of skin cancer or who are extremely sun sensitive should purchase a product with a SPF >30, however, these products offer only slightly more sun protection.  SPF is the “Sun Protection Factor” which measures the sunscreens ability to screen out UVB light.  Be certain it also protects against UVA light.  Liberally apply sunscreen 15-30 minutes before heading out in the sun and reapply it every 2 hours or after swimming or sweating.
Have a safe and relaxing holiday weekend.

HAITI EMERGENCY – UMCOR ADVANCE #418325

Jan. 12 has caused incalculable loss of human life and destruction.
United Methodists have had a long-standing relationship with Haiti
through the Methodist Church of Haiti. The strong ties between the Methodist Church of Haiti and United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) helped in facilitating the opening of the UMCOR Haiti field office in 2005. 100% of advance gifts made will go to support relief measures. Make any donations payable to First United Methodist Church and label “Haiti.”
